Minding the gap: your students have little awareness of things that happened more than a decade ago. ISS might be something they should know about. It’s a good origin story well told, and I have questions. Operation Space Station: High-Risk Build www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Oper...

I don’t like to ask but - how DO you get followers in this place? If it helps, here’s a pic I took of Mercury crossing the Sun! I post space things and am the creator of skycalpro - a personalised calendar of stargazing events. #FollowersWanted #Astronomy

Really enjoyed this post about moving on from PowerPoint presentations to finally teach with students: #EduSky #UKEd #SciTeachUK abubakarhatimy.substack.com/p/death-by-p...

Using a microammeter and low voltage power supply find the resistance of a person or even loop of people by measuring the potential difference across and current through them. It is a fun alternative to finding resistance of the usual components. #ITeachPhyiscs #SciTeachUK youtu.be/sDb9cUbs3gM

Souvent les physiciens et le reste du monde ne se comprennent pas notamment à cause de ça :

It’s often generational, during childhood if you have parents and or grandparents telling you that education is pointless (particularly further education) then you’re probably going to believe it.

Primary Teachers! If you’re planning to mark “Non-Fiction November” in your school, there are some lovely teaching resources to accompany “ABOUT TIME”. The book covers science and history of timekeeping, and includes careers advice!

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

***BOOK RELEASE DAY*** The book I've always wanted for AQA A level physics is out. It has: -A page of notes, a page of questions *and* a QR code to a video lesson on each topic -A page on each required practical, with example calculations -A full set of exam papers -Answers

Sums it up rather well!

My publisher is celebrating going back to school by offering “Why Don’t Things Fall Up?” for just 99p on Kindle. It’s perfect for you if you want to freshen up your knowledge of the science you should have learned at school. Also for students who want to deepen what they’re being taught for GCSE

Get them apples while this deal is on. Cheap at twice the price. Great book. Buy it.

Two stories juxtaposed on the BBC website... sigh. Anyone else spot the irony here?

Science Teachers! If you want a FREE online author talk for your students to discuss the ideas or anything related to "Why Don't Things Fall Up?" drop me a line! The book is JUST £3 at the moment, so you can buy a class set with free delivery for less than £100.

I finally got around to making a new visual for precision and accuracy that doesn't use a target!! I'm looking forward to introducing these concepts alongside uncertainty in a way that is a little more authentic to scientific measurements 🧪 #iteachphysics

⏯️This slow-motion video shows the inside of the JET tokamak during a shattered pellet injection (SPI) experiment. SPI is a technique to minimise the impact of disruptions – events where the hot fusion plasma in a tokamak can very rapidly lose its heat and electromagnetic energy.

After the independent head of the US CDC is fired, Robert Kennedy Jr's loyal deputy, Jim O'Neill, is appointed to take her place.

Following on from the 'a physics teacher needs a large number of explanations for things' post, which are the topics/concepts that need the MOST? Mine are: #1 - potential #2 - field #3 - anything to do with circuits. #iteachphysics

#Physics Homework. Estimate the energy transferred from the water to the hurricane using the change in temperature of the water. Yes, it's just a rough estimate - but it would be fun.

If you'd like to read more on my thoughts on science and science teaching, you could try another book of mine, "Why Don't Things Fall Up?' which is currently available for just £3:

64% of the richest 10% in Britain got most of their money via inheritance, not by working for it. Such as Allsopp, the eldest daughter of Baron Hindlip, chairman of Christies, who got her start in TV via her art history degree, which she studied at ... Christies. But sure. More austerity.

As term starts you might be thinking of including more cogsci type things in your classroom... but what does that actually mean? #cogscisci #iteachphysics Here's my take on it... itsalearningcurve.education/why-use-cogn...

Not edited yet, but pleased with this rough version. I am doing videos of all the experiments on teaching electricity in the 1950s syllabus. This one could still be used I think, find the absolute permittivity of air. 🧪 youtu.be/JMFcTt5UlLk
