Introduced the mnemonic "Dairy Milk, Ice Cream" for the "dependent variable is measured, the independent variable is what you change" today.

I love mnemonics.
Who has some good ones?
When schools go back after summer, children are often asked about their holidays. This can be a miserable experience for children who have been hungry or those who live with trauma. Post Covid, this will be more pronounced.

Currently trying to plan all of my GCSE Biology and Chemistry lessons for September... Can anyone recommend me any useful resource websites I can use as a starting point? So many ideas but just don't know where to start! #OCR
@j_phys We have shared physics and chemistry resources but no biology ones unfortunately! It is my specialism but I almost exclusively taught physics and chemistry in my training year so am having to create new resources for this year! :)
Just completed Winston's Wish Bereavement Training and would highly recommend to all school staff given the current climate. The course is free and can be found here if anyone is interested! https://t.co/4N0AwtKOqg
