Very disappointed with @backmarket
9 days after a ‘return request’ was approved,still no returns label so I can exercise my right to return a phone. No phone no.; customer ‘service’ via app chat only. “We’ll look into it”. Appalling. Think twice before using them.

@Janie47659862 @Hookean1 @SParryScience Accuracy is about closeness to the true value. "Repeat the experiment 3 times ignore anomalies and calculate the mean" - wouldn't necessarily give an accurate result.
Might be worth using AQA's own subject specific vocabulary doc:

@Janie47659862 @Hookean1 @SParryScience Precision is just about the spread of repeat readings.
I think "Increase the resolution of measurements by using smaller intervals" should have been next to Resolution

@Rhyswebthree @NASUWT_Scotland @NASUWT There’s no denying - poor communication from @NASUWT. The NEU announced in advance when they would be releasing the feedback from their members re government offer. In contrast @NASUWT members are taking to Twitter wondering when we’re going to hear. Disappointing.

[Peter Clarke @pclarkephysics]

@NASUWT @NASUWT When will you be announcing the results? Seems to be taking a long time.

Thanks @blackfieldband for spending 2,067 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to From 44 to 48. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/7PywBD8z34

Congratulations @StRomerosCS on winning the @ioauk Secondary School competition 2022!

@sadiyas2802 @AQA But free marks for everyone is a bit pointless and of no benefit to anyone 🤔

[Peter Clarke @pclarkephysics]

@AQA Please explain why you’re asking students to identify the correct equation, at the same time as providing them with a list of ALL the equations. You’re testing whether they can copy something from one page onto another (GCSE Paper 2 Trilogy H & Physics H) What’s the point?

[Peter Clarke @pclarkephysics]

@AQA Not impressed that the @AQA Higher tier GCSE Physics Paper 1, had 2 questions (tick-box!) asking students what the right equation is (at the same time as providing ALL the equations on the Equation Sheet this year!). May as well just give everyone 2 free marks. 🤦‍♂️

@kieranscanlon @SRWAcademy Happy St Patrick’s Day Kieran!

Not impressed with the y-axis scale on this @BBCNews graphic:

@blackfieldband ‘Undercover Heart’, ‘Lonely soul’ and ‘From 44 to 48’

[Peter Clarke @pclarkephysics]

@empiresend Not new (2017) but I can’t get enough of this album by Blackfield @blackfieldband
‘Undercover heart’, ‘Lonely soul’ and ‘From 44 to 48’, the final three tracks, are just amazing.

Today @StRomerosCS welcomed film director Linzy Attenborough @linzyfilms who is filming a documentary for the @ioauk about our winning Soundscape entry. We were also joined by @gianluca_memoli Senior Lecturer in Novel Interfaces at Sussex Uni. Well done Luke, William & Dominic!

[St Oscar Romero Catholic School @StRomerosCS]

A massive well done to our incredible students who were awarded the Institute of Acoustics national science prize. Thank you to Mr Clarke who supported the students and to our MP, @PBottomleyMP, who met us at Westminster Palace to congratulate our students

[St Oscar Romero Catholic School @StRomerosCS]

Congratulations to Y10 students Luke, Dominic and William! Here is the link to their WINNING entry in the Institute of Acoustics Year of Sound Soundscape Competition. https://t.co/njLrk4D26e

@runningstitch Hi Deb, was interesting to read about your son and the cube. My son also started about aged 9. It became a bit of an obsession, and now at 14 he’s mastered all the cubes up to 11x11. I don’t normally have a fixed mindset, but when he’s explaining it, I simply can’t get it! 😂
