A video busting the myths about 5G and wifi by considering the physics underpinning how 5G microwave radiation can interact with our bodies.

In case you haven’t seen it and you need to use seating plans this year, check out the awesomeness that is @megaseatingplan!

[Mega Seating Plan @megaseatingplan]

Over 14,000 new seating plans created during the UK's first week back at school. Saving roughly an hour compared to making manual plans, UK schools have just saved £400,000 worth of teacher time

@MrsHuntPhysics @ChatPhysics We've just finished particles and are starting quantum. Mainly using Seneca and Edpuzzle. I've made videos for both topics here:
Particle Physics: https://t.co/wgurhAs4Rn

Quantum Physics: https://t.co/RhYjtSUJhm

[Rob Cowen @cowenphysics]

Bored of 5G BS all over social media. I've made a video of the basic physics behind how 5G and wifi can interact with your body

Over the last year I taught myself iOS programming and created a gcse physics revision app called Physquiz It has almost 800 multiple choice questions covering all topics and all levels of difficulty. It took me many hundreds of hours to build....

@megaseatingplan @TeacherTapp And also this

[Mega Seating Plan @megaseatingplan]

In my other life as a physics teacher, I recently came up with a game... of sorts. It's for getting A Level students to engage deeply with multiple choice questions.

No reason it can't work with younger students in any subject.

@TF_Ambassadors And thanks for the shout out!

@TF_Ambassadors How odd. Try https://t.co/a0Ib0mV0I7

[Mega Seating Plan @megaseatingplan]

Fun fact: For a class of 25 students in a room with 25 desks there are 15,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (15 million million million million) possible ways to arrange them.

(Hopeful that a maths teacher can prove me wrong here...)

@BernardRand @MattPearson1991 @mrbakerphysics @BenyohaiPhysics @flippedaround @TeamScienceEdu @theASE @natkin @PhysicsUk @MrShawePhysics Not sure I've got time to develop new resources at the moment, but take a look at what I've got at https://t.co/V0K925ePqE and at https://t.co/fGpfIFbzAE. Almost all is for OCR A.

[Mega Seating Plan @megaseatingplan]

I've just made a snazzy video for Mega Seating Plan, using @Camtasia (also excellent for making flipped videos)

The new Y7s were born in 2007... just let that sink in 😩

[Rob Cowen @cowenphysics]

Taking on a vertical tutor group for the first time... any advice?

Starting a new job back in the UK tomorrow. Expect frequent references to "trash cans", "grading" and "sophomores".

[Rob Cowen @cowenphysics]

@MissB0107 Newsround during form time. Engages them for a few minutes, then provides a starting point for a discussion about current affairs.

I also tried to educate them in 'good' music, via a daily name that tune quiz

[Mega Seating Plan @megaseatingplan]
