@NeedhamL56 @theASE We are nearly done - working on second set of molars (unless another child comes along)

She is a very miserable little lady!

@ViciaScience The inevitable, inexorable, unstoppable march of the Geranium...

[Rhys Rhobat Baker @TFScientist]

An excellent correction from @ViciaScience

We should use gain time to benefit the whole department, not just the teaching staff #TechniciansWorkHardToo

[Richard Needham @ViciaScience]

@TFScientist I would say it is important to include the professional development of the department and its members, including technicians, in this list #ASEChat

@Ange_K1 @NeedhamL56 @BradfordNASUWT Unions frown at lots of things

[Rhys Rhobat Baker @TFScientist]

@stormeducation But at least you are up-to-date!

Any nuggets of advice for gain time?

#ASEChat

[Rhys Rhobat Baker @TFScientist]

#5 Should gain time be used to primarily benefit:
a) GCSE exam classes
b) A Level exam classes
c) KS3
d) Data drives/Report writing
e) Teacher performance management tasks

@NeedhamL56 I second that!

As promised last week some quick notes on primary to secondary science transition projects #asechat @ViciaScience #primaryrocks #primarytosecondary #scichat #ukedchat #TeamScience https://t.co/e7j5FLH2FW

[Rhys Rhobat Baker @TFScientist]

@Ange_K1 @NeedhamL56 Have you still been given 'gain time tasks'

#asechat

[Rhys Rhobat Baker @TFScientist]

@stevethedoc1 @SKLchem Sounds dangerously subversive to me.

Have you considered page 174 of this brand new textbook (RRP £28.99 plus VAT)

[Richard Needham @ViciaScience]

@stevethedoc1 @SKLchem Yes. Chances for extended practicals are few in secondary schools. Best time for germination, growth, genetics experiments #ASEChat

[Will @willhaywood]

Evening #ASEchat, if anybody has been making use of the Gatsby principles and report around Good Practical Science, or have suggestions of how better use could be made of it, I’d love to hear as I’m meeting them soon to discuss. https://t.co/X3JWOXzB7F

[Rhys Rhobat Baker @TFScientist]

@stevethedoc1 @SKLchem Ah yes.

But is it....'rigorous'?

#textbooks #asechat #gove #throwback

[Rhys Rhobat Baker @TFScientist]

Great suggestions for extended practical work from @SKLchem

#4 Is it more valuable to use gain time to try something completely new (like an experiment or project) or polish/perfect something you did that year? #asechat
