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'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

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

(There are also some bio examples #ChatBiology)

Hi Debbie, Pedtech is the idea of using pedagogy to implement technology into the classroom, rather than simply using it for the sake of it. Much more can be found in the brilliant book by @fionaas.bsky.social

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