Another great workout yesterday with Foritude gym as part of the school's #wellbeing programme @GESdoha_Science smashed it! #healthybodyhealthymind #teamwork #hardworkpaysoff #BetterTogether #funtimes

Year 11 students completed a practical investigation today with @GESdoha_Science #futurescientist #tomorrowsleaders #Discovery #experimental #GCSE #science #Chemistry #learningisfun #hardworkpaysoff

This is a really nice, concise summary of something we are usually aware of as teachers but cannot always articulate. The feeling of what learners are able to process in any one learning episode. Thank you!

SCIENCE:

If you don't make mistakes, you're doing it wrong.

If you don't correct those mistakes, you're doing it really wrong.

If you can't accept that you're mistaken, you're not doing it at all.

Good luck to years 7-10 with exams this week!

[The Gulf English School - Secondary @GESdoha_Sec]

Not the case at GES! 38% of Y11 and an impressive 44% of Y10 students study physics! Next year's numbers will increase due to the hard work and dedication of @GESdoha_Science to provide exciting, challenging, and accessible lessons. #futurescientists #futureengineers

Our Year 10 Chemists are combining revision with developing new IT skills, creating revision videos. Completely open brief, they can use live-action, animation apps, stopmotion, whatever they like. The first completed effort is by Ahmad using @biteable: https://t.co/OYLP6HLsXM

COMPETITION TIME: Year 8s have 2 lessons and the holiday to design and create their own Mars rover. Teachers also encouraged to try this. Deadline is May 16th. Good luck!

I'm going to lose my job soon. The Year 10 Chemistry students make more engaging lessons than I can! @ChemixLab method diagrams, #physicsandmathstutor questions and #QR codes to scan for extension work. I might let them plan the whole scheme!

A really useful chemistry intervention session for Y11s today ahead of their final mock exams next week. Thanks to @WhiteboardFi for their fantastic online mini-whiteboards that helped make the session as interactive as possible!

#ASbiology students have been working on their #practicalskills this week. They have been using microscopes to look at prepared slides. #futurescientists @GESdoha_Science @GESdoha_SecHead @GesdohaS

@doc_kristy @ChatChemistry @RSC_EiC Thank you @doc_kristy. I've been reading recently about the power of "first examples" (e.g. using lithium for proton number and mass number to avoid misconceptions).
Out of interest, what demos/practicals do you choose first for this topic? And which are your favourites?

[Gulf English School Science @GESdoha_Science]

@mrsjmasters @MrsSBiology Out of interest, which visualiser do you use? Are there any limitations to it or are you happy with it?
