Anyone recommend some AQA a level psychology teaching resources shared?

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

Any good blog posts on teaching using exemplars (exam questions etc)

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

@Paul_SciTeach Is there a decent method for this?

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

@STEMyBanda @ChatPhysics @ogdentrust Amazing. Thank you!

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

Any recommendations on GCSE physics courses (how to approach the required practicals, ideas/tips to teach challenging concepts etc) for non specialists @ChatPhysics

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

Are there any polish translations of A level bio/chem/phys books (revision guide preferably) @chatbiology @ChatChemistry @ChatPhysics @cgpbooks

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

@staffdb66 @MsDowdSci @madamwaitt Being quoted in a tweet... my claim to internet fame 😂

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

Anyone willing to share some AQA GCSE/ A level lab logger templates ( happily take some KS3 ones). Using it for the first time 🙂 @chatbiology @ChatChemistry @ChatPhysics

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

Immensely proud of my Year 13 pupils. You never sat exams for GCSE, sat some career altering ones in the summer, with no consideration by exam boards of the previous statement, and you have done yourselves and me proud. That's all. ❤️

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

@Philip_HarrisUK The Cedars Academy definitely does

@KJF239 @clare_ham @chatbiology We did immobilised enzymes. Tech mixed alginate and amylase. Really easy for kids to follow. Lasted 50 mins easily. Not a lot of faff.
We have also had lots of slides set up and pupils have done biological drawings after the cell expansion talk bit.

@Carousel_Learn is there a way for all staff to access the results/link for a quiz set? Not just appear on the list for the staff that set the task? Also, can you get a printable list of all quizzes completed with scores for an individual pupil? Like a mark book page?

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

Why are they so little... Omg shush...SLANT...yes standing is important in practicals... Look at that chromatogram...why can't year 10 be this enthusiastic about science.. just some thoughts on transition with year 6

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

Stolen idea from our french team, summer task for the year 6 transition. Basic names, units and variables. Next year might get a head start 🤞

Super defrosting hearts period 5. Still a bit crunchy but the kids had fun (seeing how strong and thick the heart muscle walls were). Have got a lingering bloody organ smell following me around though...

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

Is the science booklist from lockdown still floating around somewhere here? I am sure someone made an excel sheet ??

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

@KJF239 Send through an DM and I can share mine with some activities across

[Miss Varia @kriaria]

@D_M_Clancy @Emmalucephysics looks about right 😂

[Meowgan @catsandsparkle]

@sabrinasfm1 I wish they would make these places available for people over 25. Some of us never got these opportunities when we were younger bc we were in school full time and would love an opportunity to shadow at 40.

Triple physics - any tips for last min revision?
