Evening all. Just wondering if any of my followers teach BTEC Applied Science L2? @helentheroberts would love to hear from you as she also teaches it and it would be great to get a network together of colleagues to help and support each other. Please retweet. Thank you! 🙂

@SAPS_News Two further holly related activities:
1) quantitative exploring food chains by studying holly leaf miners predated by birds and parasitised by wasps; 2) statistical analysis of numbers of spines on leaves different heights above ground as intro to stats in biol. #ASEChat

Great session on averages and spread with some fantastic Biology teachers today for @Advanced_Maths in partnership with @theASE. I love that I lead the sessions but also come away having learned something and with new ideas and an increasing love of biology 😁

@hartmaths The Poisson distribution is built-in to @Desmos (under Distributions) - it's really straighforward to use and worth checking out

@MrsDrSarah Beauty is you can observe gills at lots of scales to understand multiplayer effect of increasing surface area. Used to enjoy using them as a model for countercurrent effect when teaching post 16s. Great microscope images!

@MrsDrSarah Fish gills? Great activity

@Hookean1 @theASE Oooh! Language of Measurement and Language of Mathematics in Science (LoMiS) They will keep you busy

Dear Mogg
I'm due for another heroic visit to Ukraine. It'll foster huge goodwill for me amongst wavering supporters in Britain, so I will stand in fatigues next to a cannon, shaking hands with Zerinsky, just as Churchill appeared with the Archduke Ferdinand.
