Having ‘A Good Conversation’ – helping students to make meaning in our lessons. It has been some time since I wrote last, but @cmooreanderson.bsky.social's latest book 'Teaching Meaning' really got me thinking. Some thoughts on having 'Good Conversations': dave2004b.wordpress.com/2026/05/29/h...

@rsc.org support for Chemisty teacher training is excellent. If you're interested in applying this webinar will be highly informative.

Build fluency in the language of measurement, guide students' apparatus choices and progress their measurement accuracy and precision with these tips 📏👇️ edu.rsc.org/cpd/making-m... #scienceeducation #iteachchem #pedagogy

This new set of resources that I authored for @rsc.org @rsc-eic.bsky.social has turned out nicely. I particularly like the scrolling website which can be used as a learning resource in its own right. Thanks EiC for turning my drafts into these high quality resources. edu.rsc.org/infographics...

@dave2004b.bsky.social shares the next article in our Teaching practical science series on monitoring reactions, written originally by chemistry teacher Morag Easson. Read it here 👇 edu.rsc.org/cpd/monitori... #iteachchem #scienceeducation

Good to see my first article in the review of this CPD series published.

Are there any Microsoft Showcase School colleagues who might be able to help? I don't seem to have access to the Team, and am wondering if they are doing a meeting post-BETT this year.

hello Bluesky. This is the RSC SaFE Group committee's new official account on here! Please do follow us if you are interested in teaching and/or learning chemistry for 11-19 in UK schools. We organise various F2F and online meetings & conferences around the UK to support chemistry teachers.

Now including digital copies of either Primary Science or School Science Review journals. Please spread the word.

Looking forward to supporting ECTs with planning safe practical work. @cleapss.bsky.social provide excellent resources across primary and secondary science.

Looking forward to this upcoming network where we'll hear about a scale-based approach to teaching A Level Chemistry fundamentals and @isaacphysics.org will share their automarking chemistry questions. Open to all teachers (not just OCR) and free to attend: buytickets.at/ocr1/1326393 #ChatChemistry

This term, I'm going to try out some more student free writing at the start of lessons. Give them more opportunity to retrieve and reconstruct their knowledge. Give me more time to deal with start of lesson admin. Then model answers and allow some self assessment. Thoughts?

Really interesting read, and many points relevant to those stepping up into #SLT roles next month.

Afternoon all. #chemistry #microscale #education #studentprogress
