UNEXPECTED LINES




CATEGORYMaths



About 1700 years ago, a Greek called Pappus discovered an amazing arrangement of lines. Nothing happened for the next 1300 years until the sixteen year old Blaise Pascal discovered an even more amazing arrangement! Everyone thought his dad had found it.

Outreach Program 11

THE MONTY HALL CARD GAME




CATEGORYMaths



Behind one closed door is a car, and behind the other two are grumpy hippopotami. The game show host asks the contestant to choose one of the doors to open; the contestant will get to keep whatever is behind it. After the door has been chosen, the host opens one of the other two to reveal a hippopotamus. He then asks if the contestant wants to change their mind and pick the other door. Assuming the preference is to go home with a car, rather than a bulky river-dwelling mammal, should they change or not? Your students can find out for themselves by playing the card game and, in the process, learn more about probability.

HOW TO WIN AT GAMES

“SEE” WAVES IN ACTION

Waves are everywhere; we see them with sound, light, earthquakes even in space-time. The interaction of waves with objects, and even waves themselves, impact on so much of the world we live in. This workshop includes a range of activities, such as: creating waves which travel through materials, focusing sound waves to eavesdrop on whispered conversations, sound waves travelling in flammable gasses, and light interacting with itself to measure some of the smallest objects in the Universe.Note: Closed footwear must be worn.

SATELLITES IN SPACE

How do you make sure that a satellite travelling at 28,000 km/hr is pointing in the right direction?

In this workshop students will be split into two teams and compete to be the first to control their “satellites”. They will investigate the physics behind the motion of satellites and learn how we control them remotely. Be prepared to experience some obvious and not so obvious consequences of putting a satellite into orbit!

Students will gain a good understanding of the principles of rotational motion without having to use advanced maths.Note: Closed footwear must be worn.

THE HIDDEN WORLD OF MICROORGANISMS

Microscopy in its many forms, is the single most powerful technique available to view cells and bacteria. People skilled in microscopy are sought after to work in both clinical and research laboratories. In this laboratory exercise, heat-fixed smears of yoghurt culture are stained to reveal the bacteria used to produce commercially available yoghurt. Since bacteria are typically not visible to the naked eye, a compound light microscope is used to view the cell morphology of the bacteria. When viewed using oil immersion at 1000 x total magnification, the size and shape of the stained bacteria is easily seen.Note: Closed footwear must be worn.

WHAT’S IN OUR WATER?

Did you know that water in our environment contains metals, and some of these are essential for a healthy environment while others are not?

In this activity students will use an atomic absorption spectrophotometer to see how chemists determine the levels of metals in water samples, including drinking water and runoff from a local mine. Ask us about bringing along your own water samples too!Note: Closed footwear must be worn.

WHAT MAKES SPINACH GREEN?

Everyone recognises spinach by its vivid green leaves, but have you ever stopped to think why they are green? Is it just green chlorophylls or does it also contain other natural components like carotenes and xanthophylls? How would you separate out this mixture to identify what is present? Luckily chemistry has the answer!

Students will use the technique of thin layer chromatography to determine just how many components there are in a spinach leaf extract.Note: Closed footwear must be worn.
