A sperm whale surfacing with a giant squid in its mouth. I love seeing things like this. Reminds me of the raw and beautiful savagery of nature.

Brilliant resources!

Amazing! One for #ChatChemistry

ChemDraw turned 40 this week! 🎉 I worked with Revvity Signals to put together this graphic showing how the chemical drawing program has developed from basic beginnings to the integration of features to predict spectra and highlight structural features wp.me/s4aPLT-chemd... #ChemSky

Any keen chemistry teachers about to support this #ChatChemisty #ChatBiology

What an amazingly insightful post! There are some great links to A-Level biology here @chatbiology.bsky.social @mrsjmasters.bsky.social @cmooreanderson.bsky.social @stemybanda.bsky.social

A primary headteacher recently got in touch: what are schools doing about AI in reports? Allowing it? Banning it? Here's what we found out... 🤷‍♀️ Over half of teachers said their school has no policy ✅ 33% say AI use is explicitly allowed 🚫 5% of schools have banned it

✈️ Evidence-Informed Wisdom is here!! ✈️ RT for a chance to be the first to read it. Today we received our advance copies. It’s a serious book written in a funny way. It’s my favourite thing I’ve ever done. Will pick someone at random on Sunday night and post them a copy!

And here's the final installment of the #NationalMammalWeek videos - an overlap of zoology and linguistics this time. Big thank you to @oxfordconted.bsky.social @morethanadodo.bsky.social and @bemoretigerlily.com for making it all come to life. 🧪🌏🦊🔴🇵🇱🇬🇧

Great article!

Our pupils loved @jimalkhalili.bsky.social talk on time travel yesterday at GCSE live. We love the simplicity in which you explained some tricky concept! Have you ever seen Beyond the infinite two minutes? It is one the most original time travelling concepts I've ever seen!

I frequently share this study with my pupils. The book Inner Drive made '99 studies that every teacher needs to know' is great.

Another brilliant piece by Becky! Some excellent food for thought, even before it considers AI use for teachers.

Really interesting article! I'm sure chemistry and biology teachers will enjoy #ChatBiology #ChatChemistry

Now to find the alien in my freezer...

Christmas eve trip to the zoo turned out to be great. You can take the science teacher out of the classroom but.....

Off to University of Warwick today to give a history department seminar talk on ‘Reflections on the history of AI’, trains being kind. If there’s interest I can post the main points here…

The problem with a lot of ocean "exploitation" is that it's like mining a human for calcium. Yes, a human body contains ~1kg of calcium, and you could take it out, but it's already *doing* quite a lot of useful things, and the human has far more potential to help you if you leave the calcium alone.

This is good news... www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪🩺🛟 sociology

I'm very pleased to have been selected as a runner-up for the STEM Learning's Summer Splash competition. I shared one of favourite revision resources: Chemistry Cranium based off the popular board game. There are some other great ideas listed here too. #Stem community.stem.org.uk/blogs/tim-br...

Guess what I'm teaching today... #GWITT #ChatChemistry

And they say you never judge a book by its cover... #ChatPhysics

@edusky.bsky.social what would be a good hashtag for teachers to share how they are using AI effectively? #EdAI? #AIideas? #TeacherAI? This week I used it effectively for -creating model data + graphs -making a rubric for a computer room cover lesson -letters -summarising opinions in a poll

***THE SCIENCE DOCTOR KS3 SCIENCE WORKBOOK*** The final version of the science workbook is out now - three years worth of work. This contains a new "practical science" chapter - the type of stuff you start year 7 with. It's a big book - 304 pages! www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DBRM2MJ...

Did you know PowerPoint has some stock 3d images. Insert --> 3d models --> stock images--> search chemistry These can be rotated at your leisure and great to help pupils manipulate 3d models #GWITT #ChatChemistry (There are also some bio examples #ChatBiology)

I set my year 8s a Minecraft education hw today at 4pm. They have 1 week to make series and parallel circuits using redstone. A pupil has already emailed it me his hw by 7pm! That is some good engagement.

For (science) teachers interested in AI I would recommend following @alexmorelearning.bsky.social he also has some exciting developments coming with the national STEM Centre this year too #ChatBiology #ChatChemistry #ChatPhysics

Having presented a talk on gamification and game based learning strategies a couple of times this year, I enjoyed putting together this article to share ideas for engaging pupils in science lessons. www.teachingtimes.com/game-based-l...

A couple of charity shop purchases today... I'm not sure I will finish them before term starts #FourDaysLeft

You can take the science teacher out of the classroom, but you can't take the science out of the teacher! #OneMoreWeek
