What a wonderful return to learning for all of our pupils today.

Today we launched our Blue Zone, an opportunity every lesson to promote resilience & independence to support our pupils in being the best learners.

Looking forward to another successful day of learning tomorrow.

Little things like this just make a bad day not that bad don’t they.

Fellow science/physics teachers — before I finalise my order, I’d love your input:

💬 What’s your go-to bit of kit for delivering required practicals? Anything underrated I should consider?

Is a Joulemeter worth it for lower sets?

🎉 I’m so proud to share that I’ve been awarded a £1,000 Physics Grant from @ogdentrust to improve access to GCSE required practicals at Hillside! 🌟

Huge thanks to the Trust for supporting teachers and students in disadvantaged communities.

@DoubleTree Shocked and horrified to find this as what you consider acceptable for a baby to sleep in. Please consider reading up on safe sleep guidelines.

Just thought i’d share a couple of my favourite marble runs from #britishscienceweek2024 ! Yr7 smashed it

[Dr Dan Jones @Hookean1]

Physics teachers. Please find below a fantastic share from John Naylor. Over 100 worksheets across topics from Y9 to Y13! Very well made too 🙂

@linbak1234 Thanks, we use FIFA for our calculations, i’m just meaning the questions where it says “state the equation that links…”

#AQA #Science teachers/examiners

In physics papers when it asks for students to recall a formula, are valid rearrangements awardable? Mark Scheme unclear.

I’ve never questioned it before, but I always give the mark, am I doing them a disservice?

[Miss L Gallagher 📚 @MissLJGallagher]

@MissRimmer78 Thank you, enjoy your half term! Ours was last week

[Miss L Gallagher 📚 @MissLJGallagher]

@MissRimmer78 Could you give an example of a standardisation of one of those types of questions, i’m not really sure what you mean but keen to learn more and possibly put this into practice.

[Adam Boxer @adamboxer1]

Ok, so you aren't letting students call out.

You aren't letting students with their hands up dominate the answers.

You know what *not* to do. So what *should* you do?

MCA5: targeting

@MissRimmer78 This isn’t something our team does, we mark for our class and then are given a random sample to moderate from other classes.

[Miss L Gallagher 📚 @MissLJGallagher]

@MissRimmer78 Wow, didn’t know this!
