This video explains how to measure the speed of water waves using an alternative to the ripple tank wave experiment; water in a Gratnell tray. In order to calculate the speed of a wave, we need to measure the distance covered by a wave in the time it takes to cover that distance.

This collection of resources from SAPS is designed to support the use of practicals across various A-level biology 2015 specifications for England (OCR, AQA, Edexcel and Eduqas).

This experiment provides a quick and eye-catching way to teach about the vascular tissue in plants and the structure of plant stems. It provides students with the opportunity to develop (and demonstrate) their scientific drawing skills as well as their use of a light microscope and eye-piece graticule.

The ASE Lab Books were published in the early 1970s for the Association for Science Education by John Murray. Each title in the series covered one or two topics and brought together the best of the teaching notes and experimental ideas from members of the association...

A pair of videos that explains how to demonstrate the Newton’s Second Law required practical. The first demonstrates an experiment we can do in order to investigate the relationship between the acceleration of an object (with a constant mass) and the applied force.  The second explains how to interpret the data,...
