@DJGteaching @ChatPhysics @cogscisci Skeleton and muscles. We do teach all mentioned options in Y7 though.

@ChatPhysics just found out my new school has no gamma source. Can anyone advise if there is a work around for A Level? Thanks!

[Accidental Physicist @AnotherMissPhys]

Youngest starting reception in Sept. Doesn't start fully until 18th 😶 I hope my new school are understanding 😭

[Accidental Physicist @AnotherMissPhys]

Has anyone got a map of the overlap for GCSE AQA Physics and Edexcel?

[Accidental Physicist @AnotherMissPhys]

@physicsufo @GrahamYapp I thought so but wouldn't trust myself without confirmation. Appreciate your help!

[Accidental Physicist @AnotherMissPhys]

Can anyone help me with part c. It seems an easy question but I'm getting it wrong and can't figure out why 😭

[Accidental Physicist @AnotherMissPhys]

@GrahamYapp Yes! Quite a few chemist making the leap. I love it except when things like this come up and I can't tell if it's a me issue. Part way through the first year of my Physics BSc now so hopefully in a few years time I'll feel like less of a fraud. What made you go down the route?

[Accidental Physicist @AnotherMissPhys]

@GrahamYapp Thanks for your help!

I keep getting displacement as 1875 rad but the mark scheme says 29 🤔

@missgeog92 ❤️❤️❤️

@simon_haugh @allnewJC @BenyohaiPhysics @HelpfromHobson have all generously shared drives! @Hookean1. I know there's more amazing generous Physicists so hopefully other names flagged. If you search Physics Google Drive top tweets are all useful 😀

@OUPSecondary please tell me there's an OxfordRevise Edexcel Physics or Combined on the way?! Been using the AQA version but new school is a different exam board. By far the best revision guides I've come across. 🤞🤞🤞or I've got a lot of work to do creating my own over Summer.

[Accidental Physicist @AnotherMissPhys]

Really useful share from @ParsonsPhysics! Thanks 👍👍

[Accidental Physicist @AnotherMissPhys]

@emmaphys Is there somewhere I can read about this? Sounds interesting!

[Accidental Physicist @AnotherMissPhys]

@hollywalker31 Thanks for the detailed response! Will definitely be trying to implement this next term 😀

[Accidental Physicist @AnotherMissPhys]

@drlindalouise Makes sense! We have the over reliance issue but I fear there would be too much variation in the quality of education offered without a starting point. I suppose that's a different department issue 🤔 sounds great though and glad it's working well for you!

[Accidental Physicist @AnotherMissPhys]

@drlindalouise Great thread! Very similar to what we have recently implemented aside from the power points comment. How do you get around this?

@WhistleblowingT Moved recently on UPS. Applied for 2 jobs. Both offered interview. Both offered job. I wonder if the subject makes a difference here? Not something I'd be worried about in today's climate though!
