Really?! Perfect excuse 🤪

Does anyone have any Frayer models for key scientific words? I don’t want to start making them if they already exist! @chatbiology.bsky.social @chatchemistry.bsky.social @chatphysics.bsky.social

The Model for Great Teaching highlights 4 key areas: 1️⃣ Understanding the Content 2️⃣ Creating a Supportive Environment 3️⃣ Maximising Opportunity to Learn 4️⃣ Activating Hard Thinking Which Element are you focusing on for the rest of the academic year? Let us know in the comments below 👇

I spotted this blog post on the other site - a great example of the impact of *effective* flash card use. And I love the idea of getting Year 7 to make flash card organisers in DT! niprincipal.blogspot.com/p/this-much-...

#Sale shopping on Boden and noticed an extra discount for teachers - bonus 🥳 Spent 20 minutes proving I’m actually a teacher only to find it’s 20% off full priced items only! 🤬🤦‍♀️ #NotApplicable

Great opportunity for using a T-test with A level classes (seen on the other site but I’m not using it now!) @chatbiology.bsky.social

Love this idea! Something I’ve always wanted to do but never have the time 😍🤩 #BiologyShelfie

Question for AQA maths teachers: what do the *s indicate for the questions in the OUP textbook? @cantabkitty.bsky.social @themathsbazaar.bsky.social

The birth of Jesus would probably have been forgotten – if it wasn’t for a plague www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Happy Christmas! Saw this image on the other place and loved it - a Christmas tree of mesenchymal cells. From @mito_therapy on Twitter

Teaching chemistry for the first time in a long while so had a flick through this excellent book - the diagrams from @adamboxereducation.bsky.social were on my board the next day! Would definitely recommend Cracking Key Concepts in Secondary Science @chatchemistry.bsky.social

I came across this A level biology question and I genuinely cannot think of any examples of a reflex arc helping to find food or a mate. @chatbiology.bsky.social @edwardsdr2.bsky.social (it’s from your resources ) @kfbiology.bsky.social @stemybanda.bsky.social Any ideas??!

A classic example in biology is when students apply human chromosome numbers to all genetics questions - e.g. thinking that 23 or 46 is important and not that the number halves in meiosis. Humans = relatable context but also leads to misconception @chatbiology.bsky.social can you think of others?

Another @RoyalSocBio themed #chatbiology this week! Come and join us to chat about separating the sciences - the pros and cons! Tuesday 8:30pm ⏰ #EduSky #iTeachBio 🧬 #SciTeachUK

Can anyone help? I love this resource from the IOP but would like a printable version - does one exist or has anyone made one? @chatphysics.bsky.social @hookean.bsky.social #edusky #ITeachPhysics spark.iop.org/collections/...

A great article to share with A level Biology students when teaching cell structure #WomenInSTEM #CellBiology 🦠

We are so excited to announce that Chat Biology Live is a go! All the event information can be found here: https://buff.ly/3UZMlv7 Please share as much as possible Tickets will be on sale soon, we hope as many of you can join us as you can! #EduSky #iTeachBio 🧬 #SciTeachUK

To help us all get connected here’s a list of science teachers I’ve found. go.bsky.app/5qc9eAy

A very useful blog post as I’m thinking about how I want to develop my department 👍 “Striving for coherence of teaching approach might lead to adaptive expertise, emergence of increasingly effective strategies and genuinely meeting the needs of children.”

🧵 How I* teach gravitational potential energy using the Phet Skatepark simulation and a cat on a skateboard *A physics non-specialist - so any tips always gratefully received 😃 Link: phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/en...

I had more or less given up on Twitter for anything useful so thought I’d move over here to see if the rumours were true! Is it as positive as people are saying? 🤞
