Great to see girls from our S4 Physics classes at the Girls in Electronics event. #improvinggenderbalance @EdScotIGBE #WeAreSHS

[SHS Computing @SHS_CompSci]

We are at Girls in Electronics with @HeriotWattUni and the @NRobotarium 🤩

Just how purple is the cake icing? Our physicists using spectroscopy, have the answer. Supporting @epilepsysociety, @PurpleDay #seizuresavvy

Festive Physics going on today …

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

@Stirling_High Advanced Higher physicists learning about polarisation of light and how it can be used in various applications including geology.

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

Adv. Higher physicists @Stirling_High having been studying circular motion and Newton's 1st Law with the help of a hula-hoop, ball, some glue sticks and video tracking software. Takes skill, & physics understanding, to topple the glue sticks.

P7/S1 Physicists launching their Flying Fish 2/2

#WeAreSHS

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

P7/S1 Physicists thinking about variables and learning about aerodynamics. Some briliant discussions, controlled and effective construction, and succesful flights. Looking forward to August already. 1/2

Chemistry meets physics. S2 Scientists @Stirling_High learning about catalysts, exothermic reactions and thermography. In this clip the catalyst is biological - yeast solution. 2/2

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

Chemistry meets physics. S2 Scientists @Stirling_High learning about catalysts, exothermic reactions and thermography all in one demonstration. In this clip the catalyst is chemical. 1/2

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

S1 Scientists @Stirling_High getting creative with chromatography. Some with landscape qualities. Who says science & art can't mix?

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

Having investigated output from PV panels, S3 physicists have been using hi-res satellite images to decide best location & orientation for an array @Stirling_High. (Imagery (c) CNES 2021, Distribution AIRBUS DS & supplied @sentinel_hub )

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

S3 physicists @Stirling_High have been using digital data logging to investigate magnetic fields from current carrying coils.

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

AH physicists @Stirling_High used the theory of rotational dynamics to desigh and race rolling "vehicles" Which one won? The simplest design. The most aesthetically pleasing was the slowest. Want to explain why?

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

@SHS_Bees Mr Reid has one ... although it is not multi coloured!

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

The Sun was shining, the sky was blue, so the Physicists of 1.8 @Stirling_High went out to launch the rockets they had designed and built.

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

Adv. Higher physicists @Stirling_High carrying out experiments responsibly at 2m distancing. Also working live with rest of class who are at home online using video conferencing. Great to have them back in.

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

S4 physicists @Stirling_High have been learning about radioactivity. Thanks to equipment on loan from @ResearchInSch we have been able to observe radiation from everyday samples (such as granite) and display them in our virtual classrooms.

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

Video shows detail of what is happening to "iceberg". Any ideas now @Stirling_High? The other video is very boring - nothing seems to happen.

[SHS Physics Dept @SHS_Phys]

We might be in lock down but the science goes on @Stirling_High even from home. S2 trying to find out why an iceberg in salt water remains frozen for longer than one in fresh water. Any ideas? Which image is fresh water and which is salt water?
