I am Karin Parker , Head of Science at The Grange, S. Gloucestershire, and I've worked at a couple of other schools in the area. 'Spidercox' is named after the infamous Nick Cox who was a partner in crime at one of those schools, and a tarantula breeder to boot.
We wanted to develop projects on this site and show physics teachers don't all have beards and no sense of humour.
So far, we have:
A page for Grange students, (old Hanham High School and Downend links here)
Nick Cox's Tarantula Project (Nick is the one who gave the site its name)
A page for the oldest xenopus frog in the world, from Downend School
Karin's Physics of Execution Talk
We aren't boring physicists - includes this is the link with all the photos of our mad experiments !
The irreverent Physics of Pooh
The Invigilator's Not So Random Walk
Work done by our students and some of our own resources
