Hear the intake of breath as your pupils watch the 3D Heart presentation. Use their engagement to introduce or consolidate knowledge of the heart and circulatory system at KS3 and KS4.
Take it further by investigating factors affecting heart rate using our data-logging facilities and incorporating digital photography of the event. We have sufficient resources for pupils to work in pairs. Use ICT to engage pupils in presenting their work in any of the usual formats (Word, Publisher) or in a stand-alone PowerPoint presentation, which we have found to be particularly engaging.

Microscopy
We have 30 digital microscopes for your pupils to use (15 Motic and 15 QX5 models). Demonstrate microscopy with our compound digital microscope. Demonstrate the use of our Proscope digital microscope in Crime Scene Investigation and Medicine. Work with us to develop crime scene scenarios to exploit pupils' interest and show science in a real and important context. We have support software in A Sense of Murder and A Sense of Mystery.
We have 25 sets of Data Harvest data-logging equipment and the following sensors:-
for use by pupils:-
temperature (3 per group)
light level
pH
pulse rate
voltage
light gates (2 per group)
push switch
for demonstration by staff:-
spirometer
CO2
infra-red
sound
electrocardiograph
oxygen
motion
timing mat
We also have a set of resources for teaching about Alternative Energy which can easily be incorporated into data-logging events:-
Photovoltaic Kit
Solar Water Heater Kit
Wind Turbine Kit
So, a wide variety of activities is on offer.
