Fun with magnets

I have a couple of old CRT televisions at the back of the lab, and bring them out to show what happens when you put a rare-earth magnet in front of them. However I obviously lack the imagination to come up with a show like this. I’ll be more adventurous next time; turn off the lights, turn on the trippy music, burn a few incense candles . . .

Course if I really needed to get the troops interested in Magnetism all I would need is a frog and a very strong magnet.

So your whole lesson plan revolves around your students drawing graphs, but just at the last minute you realise you haven’t any graphpaper left.

Never fear – chutedesign to the rescue!

You can even choose the blank paper option:

Blank Paper – for those who cant open that damned printer to get a blank page out!

Now hasn’t that just made your day

 

And while you’re at it, check out the new Google Docs Templates: grading sheets, attendance sheets, class schedules and lots more. ‘Sure to be at least something there which you could use over the coming year.
