@MarshallPhysics @science_aps @STEMLearningUK @EUErasmusPlus @TuringScheme_UK @IOPTeaching @INSTI Amazing recognition Jed and well deserved! 👏

[Dr Dan Jones @Hookean1]

Some lovely resources shared here by the author, for Physics. There are also pages for Biology and Chemistry too 👏👏👏👏

@Geopunkrocker Thanks so much! We definitely had to Google a few terms. Beautiful anyhow! We saw some pretty awesome stalactites today and needed your expertise again 🙂 hope you're enjoying retirement!

Kayaking in Northern Vietnam with @McCollScience and we have had several conversations about how these rocks end up sideways! Can you help @Geopunkrocker?

Energy is a purely abstract quantity, introduced into physics as a useful model with which we can short-cut complex calculations.

“If I could give you one thought, it would be to lift someone up. Lift a stranger up - lift her up. I would ask you, mother and father, brother and sister, lovers, mother and daughter, father and son, lift someone. The very idea of lifting someone up will lift you, as well.”

Parahawking is an interactive experience of gliding with birds of prey, combining paragliding with falconry

Trained birds of prey fly with paragliders, leading them to thermals

Hippos can’t technically swim

The perfect combination of buoyancy and bone density allows them to “fly” thorough water at speeds of 5mph, (8 kph)

propelling themselves using intermittent ground contact, like astronauts on a moon walk

@cravenscience1 Sometimes the point of a practical isn't directly the learning that would be gained from it, but the enthusiasm and enjoyment derived from doing it. Creating a positive ethos and a lesson "where you get to do cool things" makes for pupils happy to be there.

Young people should not be limited by stereotypes and other misconceived opinions, about themselves or school subjects. They must receive support to make the decisions that will shape their futures and their world. Read more in the #IOPLimitLess report at https://t.co/R0ubbStLRg

“Physics isn’t something that girls tend to fancy. They don’t want to do it. They don’t like it… There’s a lot of hard maths in there that they don’t want to do.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ @Miss_Snuffy, UK Government Social Mobility Commission Chair #WomenInSTEM

Not sure where this comes from... claim it - it's fab!!

@AmyKennedyTeach I did love it 🙂 such a great reminder to live your life!

Hello. 100,000,000,000,000 neutrinos passed through you each second you spent reading this. And every single one of those particles is proof that our understanding of physics is incomplete. Exciting new physics is on the horizon: remember that as you sip your morning coffee ☕️

Planning the SoL for our Y8 next term. Tested James de Winter's tip from @theASE Summer conference. It's beautiful! The tip: 8B pencils conduct electricity. Mark the X axis with the pencil several times & then measure & plot the resistance. @ChatPhysics #STEMeducation

@AmyKennedyTeach I'm reading Symbiosis at the moment too. Lots to think about. Making me question how we sequence our physics curriculum and how to better link ideas together. Also how to remain true to a department values in what that curriculum should offer.
