Happy St Patrick's Day... #jcscience #density #PW2 #edchatie

The last week of physics revision for 3rd years. Building battety powered cars to bring together circuits #PW5, energy transformation devices #PW7 and distance time graphing #NOS4, #PW2 And more importantly a bit of fun! .🚙💨 #jcscience #iteachscience

3rd year students are investigating the forces generated by mousetrap catapults. Good practice on data collection and graphing skills. #JCScience #iteachscience

6th year biology students examining flower structure. Nice views of various types of pollen.  #lcbiology #plantreproduction #iteachbio

Starting bacteria and fungi soon. Here's a printable card sort activity to introduce the 5 kingdom and 3 domain classification systems. Have a go with your students and let me know how it goes. #LcBiology #Classification #iTeachBio #scienceteaching. docs.google.com/presentation...

Good evening all. Science and Biology teacher in Dungarvan, Waterford. Past JCTscience associate and current associate with the Oide biology team. #edchatie

Students using the 'Moon Hat' today to model the different phases of the lunar cycle. #jcscience #ES4

#edchatie folk - following last night's first discussion, a quick survey this week on topics, time and hosting. pls repost rather than 'Like'. Volunteers to host much appreciated... forms.gle/DXs9gCPcP47g...

Used Google lens today to identify plants and insects for ecology field studies and it's very accurate. No need for a specialist app. #lcbiology

Delighted to be involved with these enthusiastic group of Science teachers over the last year. #ScienceOnStage. Check out all the free resources available on the Science on Stage Ireland website. www.scienceonstage.ie/resources/

Here's a simple paper model of the skin that #biology students might enjoy making. #iTeachChem #EduSky. Link below. docs.google.com/presentation...

Some Christmas circuit challenges for students to try. Link below. #iTeachChem #EduSky docs.google.com/presentation...

A little glucose, benedict's solution and heat for a nice spooky display. Happy Halloween. #iTeachChem #EduSky

Testing the vapour from a fermentation flask with a cheap alcohol breath tester. Gave a result of 1.5 g/l and a satisfying danger beeping sound. It's difficult to get a positive result in the iodoform test for small quantities of alcohol. Each group got a beep so everyone is happy. #iTeachChem

I'm going to do a series of posts here on activities I'm doing with 2nd year science students. (Year 9s in UK I believe)
