We did a thing! @misstray_chem and @Sci_DrScott and I looked at when the Advanced Higher Project came back into Scottish Schools post-COVID, and whether they could resource it.
Stark finding: over half of teachers reported asking pupils to buy reagents. https://t.co/9NHpydQlgS
@AllyFogg @LegoLas44941816 The best defense I can find is that personal freedom of choice of individual consumers is fine, but orchestrating a campaign to inform people that "you shouldn't buy X because of Y belief" is crossing a line somewhere.
@humphreyjones@misstray_chem@Sci_DrScott@StrathChem One rich vein of support we've started offering is to introduce experiments based on elaborations of the prescribed practical activities that every pupil does anyway. Reagents already on file, no extra outlay.

@humphreyjones@misstray_chem@Sci_DrScott@strathchem have been focusing our CPD/CLPL offerings pretty heavily on "cheap/safe ideas for AH projects" the last few years; @misstray_chem doubly effective as her main thesis project was actually about eliminating DCM from caff extractions.
We're hosting a #ChemEd meeting!
Delighted to share that registration for Chemistry Teaching in Practice (CTiP), a free one-day workshop for chemistry HE practitioners taking place @OxfordChemistry on 9th January 2025, is now open: https://t.co/AMV6EM66lh
Looking forward to welcoming Scottish chemistry teachers to #WoSChem25 hosted at
@StrathChem
in January! Advanced Higher Project CLPL as always! Signup/info: https://t.co/nN5cr4cNqz
@solusts @SW20Ed Totally; there's a terminating platform 0 at Haymarket but it's on the wrong side of the line. You'd need a new terminating platform 5 that only routes onto the Kingsnowe line without blocking signaling, run a regular return to Currie or something.
@dave2004b I want to try and evaluate them somehow, and might have the opportunity to do so this year if a student picks that topic for their MChem project. Can I drop you a line if they do?
We did a thing! Inspired by @dave2004b, we put Integrated Instructions into a first year distillation lab AND also dyed the fractions to make them easier to follow. Obligatory "dusting of inquiry" ofc https://t.co/53ZKaxPnZD
I love YouTube chemistry channels, so my team have produced a first-of-a-kind study analyzing over 1600 channels producing Chemistry-related content. 🧵👇

Hi all,
Great news! Mr Johnson has been awarded Teacher Of Specialist Skills in Education Research. Congratulations to him! It’s a great achievement. How many other teachers can officially claim TOSSER status?
Thanks x
We are also looking for 2 teaching focussed lecturers with expertise in green chemistry and/or automation to join our chemistry education team to modernise our chemistry curriculum. #chemjobs#greenchem
