Here is a new app which I hope will help learners build confidence in rearranging Physics equations. No triangles here! 🙂https://t.co/8y739CPFge

@ChatPhysics I imagine they've dropped the target so they can pat themselves on the back for hitting a higher percentage of recruitment...

[David Wait @MrWaitScience]

@Hookean1 This is really useful, as I couldn't find an interactive magnet lab with more than one magnet in it!

[David Wait @MrWaitScience]

@DrDavidBoyce I got a nice photo through my telescope, it'll be good for teaching chromatic abberation!

[David Wait @MrWaitScience]

@adamboxer1 @whhtmaternity Congratulations to you both!

[David Wait @MrWaitScience]

@Miss_Crofts We start year 9, doing the Triple content also allows us to persuade the big Of, that a 3 yr curriculum is justified

[David Wait @MrWaitScience]

@Miss_Crofts Oh damn! We have 9 a fortnight for everyone! I'd be more than happy to chat about our SoWs on how we get it in, and then all of that extra time is time to really nail hard topics

[David Wait @MrWaitScience]

@Miss_Crofts How many hours are S's on a fortnight?

[Dr Dan Jones @Hookean1]

Science teachers. I've been reading through this useful document on the language of Maths in Science. Free from @theASE. A very useful tome for Science teachers and one I have only come across this week: https://t.co/bZTG66G8cf

@STEMyBanda @adamboxer1 Mmm sound thinking there, thank you

[David Wait @MrWaitScience]

@adamboxer1 How does Carousel help?

[David Wait @MrWaitScience]

@adamboxer1 Educake, appears to run similar to carousel. Set quizzes online, fairly easy to access questions

[David Wait @MrWaitScience]

@Hookean1 What book/article is that from? Definitely looks like a good read

[David Wait @MrWaitScience]

@manfeigak @adamboxer1 What I wouldn't do then is Google what sci-hub proxies work and copy and paste the journal's URL into one of those, it would bypass the pay wall. But I would never do it because it's stealing intellectual property...

[David Wait @MrWaitScience]

Entered all of our A Level Phys students in to the British Physics Olympiad, 3 have come back having qualified. All round excellent scores, and an excellent way to try out problem solving skills in a new and interesting way! Bring on the next round!

[Dr Dan Jones @Hookean1]

Here is a lovely line spectra activity for students 🙂
