@DeputyGrocott Born in Edinburgh, went to local primary and secondary school. Edinburgh Uni for a degree in Astrophysics, followed by a PGCE. Due to a lack of jobs at that time in my subject in Scotland, I went to the Independent sector in England. This is my 25th year as a Physics teacher.
@MrL_Hist In Physics, I also use mine to show demos that are too small for a good gather round or too dangerous e.g. radioactivity, measuring count rate for a half life means they can all take the data live and see it happening on the board while staying at a safe distance.
@esherifftv Decide what is important/meaningful to you both, include that in your plans and don’t worry about the bits you don’t want. Ensure there are no long periods with nothing to do/eat/drink for guests. Don’t put pressure on for perfection and miss out on enjoying the day yourself.
