I've had a bloody lovely afternoon teaching science. How has your day been?

It's a cold night here, and I have much work to do. But for now, it is dinner time, and that means watching E4. Woot.
You all had fun days? What type of science were you teaching?
( , Wed 3 Dec 2008, 17:52, Reply)

They were sensible year 6s.
I turned up to do supply and the teacher says, "I've not had a chance to write a lesson plan. Here is the box of equipment and they need to do an experiment to find out which is the most waterproof material."
So that is what I said to the class. This is what we've got, that is what you want to find out, how shall we do it?
I got them to tell me how to make a fair test, how to write it up the lot. They all did a really good experiment and sensibly too.

we just learn about our bits and what changes when we get older, i.e. getting the blob / stiffies.
We learn what happens when you apply one to the other in year 6.

Many moons ago, when 'mass storage' meant a 5.25" floppy disk holding 720kB of data or whatever, you had two main forms of data storage. The aforesaid floppy, or one of those new fangled expensive 'hard disks'.
So when the 3.5" disk came in, it was kind of rigid, and half way between floppy and hard...so it was suggested that it should be referred to as a stiffy.
This stuck at my place of employment, and for years afterwards the phrase "Have you got a stiffy?" could be heard frequently when asking to borrow a data storage medium.

I'm no great shakes as a driver, but I do find driving in snow quite fun, if I'm careful about it.
I came out of the car park at work yesterday, which leads onto a very quiet road in a new business development with no tenants, and the road was all icy. So I tweaked the handbrake, and with a little bit of steering input, managed to get my car going sideways. Quite slowly, but it was fun.
I didn't notice the bloke watching me though, shaking his head...

Where I live is very isolated, so the roads don't get gritted. At all.

There's something intensely satisfying about drifting a Land Rover. It feels almost like you've beaten the god of physics :)

A mate of mine works for Porsche as a demo driver, but before that he worked at Knockhill race circuit. I followed him home one night as he was driving his Daewoo(!) and we came to a roundabout. He didn't brake from 60mph, but got round it anyway! A little bit of left foot braking to bring him into the exit and it was done.
I didn't attempt to replicate the manoeuvre, but watched from a safe distance, and speed, behind! Quite impressive.
