Final question for #ChatChemistry tonight: What themes would you like to see for future chemistry weeks?
November 6, 2024 at 8:28 PM
Q2 for tonight's #ChatChemistry is how you're tying #ChemistryWeek activities to your curriculum?
November 6, 2024 at 8:13 PM
Welcome to this week's #ChatChemistry!

We're two days in to @roysocchem.bsky.social's #ChemistryWeek which runs from 4-10 November this year, with the theme "Chemistry is shaping the future"

What activities or practicals are you using to mark this week?
November 6, 2024 at 8:04 PM
If you need a distraction from *gestures* all this, join us for #ChatChemistry at 8pm BST tonight! We'll be talking about @roysocchem.bsky.social's Chemistry Week (4-10 Nov) and what you're doing to mark it with your classes.

Final question for tonight: What are your favourite resources for teaching moles? #ChatChemistry
October 23, 2024 at 7:25 PM
Okay, question 2: What are the biggest challenges for students with moles and how do you overcome these (or try to) in your teaching? #ChatChemistry
October 23, 2024 at 7:13 PM
Welcome to tonight's #ChatChemistry where we're talking moles for mole day!

Q1: Moles have a reputation as a tricky topic, so how do you introduce it to students, and what are your favourite teaching strategies?
October 23, 2024 at 7:02 PM
A week off from #ChatChemistry this week as we don’t have a host 😞

If you’re interested in being a one-off or even regular host, please let us know!

We’ll be back next week with some chat about moles for mole day

Okay, let's finish on a positive note – what would you add to the KS3 Chemistry curriculum? What aren't you teaching that you think you should be? #ChatChemistry
October 9, 2024 at 7:20 PM
Tough crowd this evening, eh? Maybe a chance to grumble will get you going...

What bits of the KS3 Chemistry curriculum need to get in the bin? 🗑️

#ChatChemistry
October 9, 2024 at 7:10 PM
Here is the KS3 Science curriculum: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7d56...

Do you cover it pretty much as listed here or do you have any additions? #ChatChemistry
October 9, 2024 at 7:04 PM
Welcome to tonight's #ChatChemistry, where we're talking about the KS3 Chemistry curriculum.

To start with, what are you currently doing in your school? Do you have your own KS3 course or do you follow a publisher's? Two-year or three-year KS3?

Don't forget to use #ChatChemistry in your responses!
October 9, 2024 at 7:01 PM
Join us for #ChatChemistry later when we'll discuss the KS3 Chemistry curriculum: what you'd keep, what you'd add, and what you'd put in the bin.

Kicking off tonight at 8 pm (BST)!
October 9, 2024 at 6:01 AM
And finally we have our question 3 for tonight. What does enrichment look like at KS5 to motivate and inspire success? #chatchemistry
October 2, 2024 at 7:16 PM
Time for question 2! What are your best recommendations for out of class support in KS5? #chatchemistry
October 2, 2024 at 7:09 PM
Good evening everyone! Welcome to #ChatChemistry with me @mrmurraygreen.bsky.social !
Here is your question 1! How can we do in the classroom to manage the step up from GCSE to A-level in the classroom? 🤔 Remember to put #chatchemistry in your replies
October 2, 2024 at 7:02 PM
Don't forget to join us for #ChatChemistry tomorrow!

We'll be discussing managing the GCSE to A Level Chemistry transition with @mrmurraygreen.bsky.social

#ChatChemistry this is where you get to design your own assessment structure. Who know who might be reading these posts...make your mark!
September 25, 2024 at 7:22 PM
#ChatChemistry Second question- this used to be the structure in my O and ALevel and again at university. Great for students, but I imagine a nightmare for marking? They do have this structure in humanities. What do we think?
