Physics Lesson c2005
An A level lesson about electric fields. An early digital projector, showing a computer simulation is on the left while overhead projectors show handwritten notes on the right and a live demonstration at the centre. The demonstration uses small seed grains, suspended in oil, which behave as electric dipoles in a high voltage field, revealing the field patterns.
Overhead projectors have pretty much disappeared now and live demonstrations are becoming a threatened species too (according to visitors), although Monmouth School's science departments remain committed to 'hands on' science.
