@BradleyKBusch @Inner_Drive Please can I grab a copy?

@XpatEducator This looks great! Please can I request a copy?

@edmunds_dr Same here Peter, all of my students found it very hard. “Worse than we could have imagined it to be”. Seriously now considering swapping exam boards.

A lovely sunny day spent at @researchEDBrum special thanks to @Dr_Castelino & @Mrs_McGhie for their insightful and candid talks. Thank you @ArkVicAcademy for hosting, such helpful and charming students!

[Mr Squires @SciSquires]

What a lovely model of metacognition from @DrMountstevens (5ps). Think this will work particularly well for HPA KS4/KS5 Physics students tackling multi step calculation qs. Definitely one of the gems taken from today’s #cogscisci conference!

@EONhelp how long does it take for your energy company to tell you how much energy you’ve used? 70 minutes and counting apparently...

@ofgem Hi, I switched to a new supplier (eon) at the end of September and had an outstanding balance of over £1400 (due to never ever receiving a bill from Tonik in the year I was with them). Please advise on what I should do, very worried that I have lost a lot of money.

[Mr Squires @SciSquires]

@SamGardner92 Morning Sam, no worries. Saw your other thread and can totally relate. Cheers I am, hope you are too? My dms are open so feel free to message us there😊

[Mr Squires @SciSquires]

@SamGardner92 Hey Sam, I’d be game. Always up for meeting new likeminded people, drop us a message😊

[Mr Squires @SciSquires]

@BBCWatchdog @Mattallwright @FoxNikkiFox @BBCWatchdog #cantcomplain @tonikenergy The company still cannot produce a bill after speaking to over 10 advisors. Raised a complaint and had an email today apologising that they have not resolved it within 56 working days. Waiting 3 weeks for manager callback. #avoid

Birmingham to Essex isn’t that far really is it?🤞#edudate

I have created a fully editable GoogleDoc where you can add links to science demos and practicals for every subject and key stage from youtube.

a doc with ALL the *best* demos and practicals with links in one place will *really help* everyone next year

For AS students I normally lend physical books for UCAS wider reading for Physics/Engineering over the summer. However, with school closed to year 12, has anyone got any recommended reading lists/online reads that I could send to students? #ChatPhysics @ChatPhysics #talkphysics

@DavidTLowbridge @LGBTedUK You’re welcome, thank you for your insightful answers!!!

[Mr Squires @SciSquires]

A really inspiring #LGBTedLeadership conference today from @LGBTedUK which has given me lots of food for thought to continue building a more inclusive curriculum. Massive thanks to @DavidTLowbridge and all the other contributors and attendees🌈

[Mr Squires @SciSquires]

@In_My_Element I’m so sorry to hear, I wouldn’t want to work at a school that did that. This year is unusual recruitment wise. I think there’ll be a lot more after half term because some schools have delayed recruiting/resignation deadlines. Good luck! We need Science teachers in Birmingham

[Mr Squires @SciSquires]

@ChatPhysics No worries at all! It’ll be interesting to see the results.

[Mr Squires @SciSquires]

Need some advice please, currently setting up AQA ALevel physics from scratch and looking ahead to A2 and the optional module. What’re people’s thoughts and experience on which optional module to pick please? #chatphysics #talkphysics @ChatPhysics

[Mr Squires @SciSquires]

@QuarkEpoch @ChatPhysics Hi Roger, I’m seriously considering medical because I specialised in these areas at uni and I know quite a few students have aspirations to enter healthcare. I’ll drop you a DM, thank you for your kind offer for resources

[Mr Squires @SciSquires]

@MrKhairi_ @cogscisci @ChatPhysics Currently 3 year KS4 so did energy and electricity in year 9 for trilogy and GCSE Physics did particle model in addition. Going to 2 year KS4 and so everyone will only do energy in year 9 from next year.

[Mr Squires @SciSquires]

@PhysicsJo @ChatPhysics Thank you Jo for the kind offer I’ll PM you now😊
