If your weekend plans have been scuppered by snow or catching that nasty cold that's going around, you're in luck because AppleTV is FREE THIS WEEKEND
Everyone please watch Severance if you haven't already, I need people to be enthused/obsessed about it with me

#chemsky, I need your help. Does anyone remember reading an experimental section from a 19th century (German?) chemist that included the taste of the chemical? I remember something about how the crystals "crunched between the teeth" or something to that effect. But I cannot remember where I saw it.

Teaching chemistry for the first time in a long while so had a flick through this excellent book - the diagrams from @adamboxereducation.bsky.social were on my board the next day! Would definitely recommend Cracking Key Concepts in Secondary Science @chatchemistry.bsky.social

At the tail of last year, I wrote the article below for HWRK magazine and some interest is popping back up again on the other place.
We are 2 weeks into the 0.9 and it's made a big impact on me personally inside and outside of work.

Could A 9 Day Fortnight Help Fix The Crisis In Education?
With the recruitment and retention of teachers in crisis, could a 9 day working fortnight be the solution to the problem?

Chemistry teacher? If you're looking for a book for some subject-specific CPD, then I highly recommend any/all of these.

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

Two fabulous STEM visits to Williams Racing this week with Y8 and Y9 students. Team project to build and test model nose-cones; guided tour of the F1 museum and racing on the ESports simulators. No cost to us and Williams organised and paid for transport.
