What did surprise me was how good a picture you can get with many of them down the eyepiece. It takes a few seconds for the automatic focus to kick in but then they were able to take high power pics of onion and cheek cells. great for their Scifolios !</p> 2012-01-16T11:09:59+00:00 Questions on Momentum and Levers http://www.discoversensors.ie/forum/viewthread/16/ http://www.discoversensors.ie/forum/viewthread/16/#When:12:49:10Z <p>Does anyone have questions on the topic of Momentum and Law of the Lever to test students understanding of the topic? As far as I know, its not a topic we have covered in our assessment questions. I am having some difficulty coming up with some good questions in this area.</p> 2012-01-13T12:49:10+00:00 Data Set for Distance experiments http://www.discoversensors.ie/forum/viewthread/11/ http://www.discoversensors.ie/forum/viewthread/11/#When:13:50:31Z <p>Tables of data for the distancce a car travelled under different conditions</p> 2011-12-19T13:50:31+00:00 new website comment http://www.discoversensors.ie/forum/viewthread/10/ http://www.discoversensors.ie/forum/viewthread/10/#When:20:31:08Z <p> The new website looks attractive.Are their plans to upload extra assessment questions - examples that didn’t meet the first round criteria. Will their be an interactive student section, similiar to the sensor challenge that was trialled by Intel a few year ago.It may be in the future plans to include a section that would provide students with the opportunity to write their own blog or an area that explains the scientific everyday news in a language that students can connect to.</p> 2011-12-14T20:31:08+00:00 Kildare Schools Session 3 http://www.discoversensors.ie/forum/viewthread/7/ http://www.discoversensors.ie/forum/viewthread/7/#When:12:11:55Z <p>If you have attended the Kildare schools sessions on the 1st December (afternoon) or 2nd December (morning), please complete the online evaluation here:<br /> <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/kildareschoolsdec11">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/kildareschoolsdec11</a></p> 2011-12-01T12:11:55+00:00 Kildare VEC Session 3 http://www.discoversensors.ie/forum/viewthread/6/ http://www.discoversensors.ie/forum/viewthread/6/#When:00:10:01Z <p>Kildare VEC Group workshops held on Wednesday 30th November and 1st December in Kildare Education Centre.&nbsp; If you have attended, we would be grateful if you would complete the online evaluation form:<br /> <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/kvec3">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/kvec3</a></p> <p>Thank you for your continued support</p> 2011-11-30T00:10:01+00:00
