On this site you’ll find student workbooks, presentations, @isaacphysics boards and @quizlet flashcard sets alongside other resources I’ve been collating for both OCRA and AQA A level Physics. Really hope this saves other teachers time and effort.

One of the most important threads I’ve read on X.

Many consider numerological connections in ancient monuments baseless unscientific bullshit

But are they? Take the pyramids of Giza for example. There're 3 great pyramids

There're also 3 generations of fundamental fermions. The ancient egypts couldn't have known this, ..

@JenKteach @SheptonShagger @Sandford_Police You haven’t cited the text you’ve shared and it doesn’t support your claim at all. Your post reads like this to me:
“Appalling lie”
Image of text that looks authoritative but does nothing to support the lie above in the hope people won’t read it.

@edmunds_dr @jonathaneshaw 1 and 3 weren’t too bad this year, they certainly improved paper 3. We’re changing board for this year’s intake.

[Bernard Rand @BernardRand]

@jonathaneshaw @edmunds_dr It’s true because last year’s paper 2 was similarly awful.

@PaulCaden1 @ChatPhysics Mount a modern super bright led with focus above it and play around with the distance. A bike light might do the job. Kill other light sources and see if you can create some beauty on that paper.

@ashleigh_pain Yes please.

@Hookean1 @ADacanalis Changing in from @AQA? So are we, had enough of their papers and the way they’ve managed the practical skills endorsement with us. No SoW on website I’m afraid, only resources and my OCR ones aren’t as developed as my AQA I’m afraid.

The answers to the questions “why is the sky blue?” and “why are sunsets red?” are both illustrated so well by this simple demo.

@esther_haydock @mrlouieevans I don’t have a hot tap!

[Bernard Rand @BernardRand]

An easy little demo, boiling water below 100 degrees.

[Bernard Rand @BernardRand]

@mrlouieevans Kettle boiled and then poured into small beaker and left for a minute so I can make sure I don’t burn myself. I had the seal fail on a syringe doing this recently so definitely not too hot.

@BasedPensioner @bphillipsonMP @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK “Field-Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck, Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army from 1942 asserted that the British "couldn't have come through both wars if they hadn't had the Indian Army." Churchill paid tribute to "The unsurpassed bravery of Indian soldiers and officers."”
