    We’ve been learning about forces in class and today we looked at how car seatbelts use forces to keep us safe.  Mr Mallon’s HelpMyPhysics site has a short video that demonstrates how a monkey can stay safe during a trolley collision when it is given a seatbelt. Here is a seatbelt advert from Sussex, the ... Read more S4 forces and seatbelts

    Last week, the BBC broadcast a Horizon programme about new cancer treatments being trialled at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London.  The documentary followed three different types of treatment; robotic surgery, a genetically targeted drug and a radiotherapy robot. As we’ve discovered, standard radiotherapy treatment involves splitting the required dose into 3 beams, so only cells inside ... Read more radiotherapy – part 2
