Physics teacher by day. Astrophysicist by night.

Students in Year 11 were learning about centripetal force in physics lesson, via the medium of a bucket of water - it worked perfectly and not a drop of water was spilt!

What a fantastic place to have the 2024 @sirjohnlawes conference, and what a way to spend my birthday. What fantastic speakers and workshops, learnt so much from fantastic people.

Year 12 students were measuring the electromotive force and internal resistance of an cell by creating their own circuits in physics lesson. #scienceeducation

Thank you so much to the team at @BayfordburyObs for giving us a fantastic visit this evening. A bit cloudy but excellent engagement from the students nonetheless!

A final astronomy club observation evening for the year, and what a treat it was. A glorious moonrise and a spectacular view of Jupiter. Below are images of both and time-lapses of their path through the sky @SJLScience

The partial solar eclipse as viewed from the UK today. The path of the moon took it in front of the sun, blocking some of the light. Partial eclipses are much more common than total eclipses.

Open evening: rainbows and robotic telescopes await in @sjlscience #sjlopenevening

Thank you to Mr Wingar @SJLScience for this photo of Jupiter captured yesterday evening during our open evening.

Astronomy Club is back after October half term 🌙 A full list of events ur Co-curricular clubs can be found on the school website https://t.co/xZL96obzKu

Queen Elizabeth II's reign spanned all of spaceflight, predating both Sputnik and Explorer 1.

As we join the planet in marking her passing, we are moved by the curiosity Her Royal Highness showed our explorers over the years.

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B

[SJLScience @SJLScience]

Thank you to @BayfordburyObs for putting on an excellent evening for SJL’s astronomy club. The students were mesmerised by the planetarium, intrigued by the talk on star formation and loved getting to see and use the telescopes. 🪐🔭

[SJLScience @SJLScience]

Unfortunately another cloudy night for the SJL astronomy club, but the students were given a talk on the history of space exploration 🚀🪐🔭

[SJLScience @SJLScience]

Most of the science team have been enjoying their exercise in nature over lockdown. Mr Wingar has been working on his photography skills on his daily walks 📸 #30dayswild

Sodium Alginate + Calcium Chloride + red food dye = a fun mess had by all 👨‍🔬👨🏻‍🏫👩‍🔬

Ready for the @sirjohnlawes @ScholarsEdTrust inaugural Musical Festival

[Mr Wingar @MrWingar]

Used a microscope 🔬 to investigate how to stretch and challenge pupils to best able them to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice
