The car they made in #engineering class and #capybara were used to measure #velocity and #acceleration. I love the sound of ticker timers in the morning! #physics

I bet! But don’t forget pride as well!

Well done! Oliver Sacks wrote about people like this too.

Stunning video montage of just the last two weeks on our dangerously overheating home planet, from the excellent team at @weareyellowdot.bsky.social.

It can be hard to keep up with the #climate 💩 that’s happening but this really helps.

Thank you. Earworms are everywhere!

Sad and beautiful poem

Tried it but then decided that "sound switching" must not be my niche interest so I'm off to enjoy Paddy's Day offline!

Yes I say wave maker sometimes. Also, I'm always a little wary when mentioning Kundt's Tube.

Because 50 shades of grey has another connotation now. #liath #dull #overcast

Well the full report has not been released yet. It's early stages and it's likely that multiple missteps led to this tragedy.

But if you only depend on air pressure to measure altitude and air pressure can vary with changing weather conditions which you have to depend on humans to account for....but I'm no pilot! It's only a guess!

I don't know enough to answer but I believe that there are different types of altimeters and I presume that they operate under different formulae which likely lead to discrepancies.

This is so true. The assumption that learning facts and the ability to think creatively are mutually exclusive is bandied about in education circles. There isn't enough time to learn everything by discovery. We have to learn from those who have lived before us.

I have to admit I've never wondered about the precision of this measurement until now. I'm reminded though of LC Maths 2012 Q9 on that topic which compared two formulas.

I usually carry cash as I think it's important to at least have a plan B but I take the point about the dangers of too many precautions. However as a shopkeeper's daughter, I still love the feel of crisp notes in my pocket.

Flowers are red and green leaves are green, there's no need to see flowers any other way than the way they always have been seen 🎶

He was right about the deer and those pesky unpronounceable invasive flowers in Killarney National Park ....even as broken clock etc ..... youtu.be/tmdDTy9myRc?...

Don't mess with my tutu! 🎶

Right now, it's like a cappuccino - all froth and no coffee. But I'm afraid that it will suck away critical thinking eventually.

Some teachers use it to make worksheets. Weirdly I've always enjoyed making up questions or problems for students to solve myself. I have tried Chat gpt to make maths worksheets and on the surface they looked good but you run into issues when you try to solve the problems.
