Chemistry teacher, former Head of Chemistry, polarity PhD. Will not be beaten by purple pens, messy desks or wailing twins.
My own opinions, not my employer's.
The greenhouse effect. Every sci / geog teacher's favourite source of misconceptions. Plan to turn this sketch into digital version to vary amount of greenhouse gases (green dots), so red arrows (IR) and a thermometer change. Any improvements? Science or style #cogscisci
@mccormackpj@Pupil_Premium Has there been any changes to how disadvantaged is categorised?
Does it match when finances started to bite so their families became less able to provide the basics?
Can see the role of the pandemic but cause of pattern 2016-2019?
Something free and genuinely useful you could do this World Mental Health Day is to share this information. You never know who might desperately need to see it. #NoMindLeftBehind@MindCharity

Just started teaching Quantitative Chemistry to low-ability students. We cover atomic mass, molecular mass, and empirical formulas, but how do I make this relevant to teenagers’ daily lives? 🤔
Looking for ideas on bringing these abstract concepts to life!

@doc_kristy @STEMyBanda I wrote AQA instead of exam board as ran out of characters.
Have had negative experiences where scores have / haven't changed with marking that disagreed with my team leader's interpretation when I marked that paper. If a review may not match marking guidance, it's a gamble!
Feel reviews of marking is subject specific.
For science, absolutely no point trying to get more than 2 marks as there aren't that many errors. But reading every single Q is a bigger waste of school's money through time than paying AQA

@TrekBikes please can you help me track down a spare charger for trek f×2+? Would like one at home and one at work. Thanks
Can only find this with anything like same connector, but has EU plug not UK. https://t.co/VZnLWjJW9Q
