Lovely to see our Makers (@TOG_Dublin, @CurrentChemIRL and @iForm) showcasing at both Cork Carnival of Science and UCD Festival today- sharing the fun of STEAM, the process of discovery and embracing curiosity.

[ISTA @IrishSciTeach]

The ISTA would like to wish all our members a restful and rejuvenating summer break. The best of luck also to all students sitting Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert exams next week.

🌹 Leaving Cert Reform 🌹

If we want to reform the Leaving Certificate we must not rush it.

Schools need to be fully equipped, teachers need full training on specification and we must sort out the issue of the possibility of manipulation.

Great alternative to light box. “F” coded on microbit works well

An ingenious idea from my students today to use an image on their phone when finding the focal length of a concave mirror. I can discard my ancient ray boxes now! Or maybe people have already been doing this 😂 @BankPhysics @PhysicsIreland @eilishmclough @Hookean1
