@Hookean1 Ooh marvellous 😁

@KathPhys Edexcel

Retrieval resource for IGCSE Physics. Happy to make one for other courses too sites.google.com/view/hookean-p…

@ICT_MrP Phenomenally accurate. Well said. 👏

How many of you came into teaching thinking it was the perfect job to align with having a family? Same holidays. Home at a sensible time. A career that fitted around family life. Now the biggest group leaving the profession are women aged 30 to 39. That isn’t

@Hookean1 An illustration of the benefits of ‘contouring’ round a hill 😆

@Hookean1 Thanks Dan, another great resource 😁

@DrDavidBoyce Lovely! Is that just different concentrations very carefully poured?

Experiment club at lunchtime used coloured sugar water to explore density. Had to keep telling myself not to drink it.

@TsuiAllen @edu_blocks Ooh lovely, thank you @TsuiAllen . My Yr 8s are massive fans of turtle plots and have had loads of fun creating different patterns. Bonus was the Maths link to external angles and getting really comfortable with RGB colour codes 😊

Hello again @KathPhys I've actually become slightly obsessed with @edu_blocks this week since discovering turtle plots work so beautifully on a Chromebook to code these beautiful creations from Max Wainewright's book. Here's a link to my recursive spiral: app.edublocks.org/project/UoEpav…

@TsuiAllen @edu_blocks I love Edublocks for intro to Python. Great for making it accessible for students with SpLD and indeed anyone who is prone to forgetting semicolons!

This by Max Wainewright has been out since 2022 but I only learnt of its existence at the weekend. Of course, I had to get myself a copy. And with @edu_blocks so easy to get started on a Chromebook to teach Python without an app or fiddling with Linux settings...

@MrLovellComp @microbit_edu @github Thank you for sharing 😊

I have created several games on the @microbit_edu that I use to teach python in my classroom because making games is fun, and it's a powerful way to learn to code 😀 🕹️🎮 Access the code and worksheets on @github here 👉 github.com/MrL832/mrlovel…

I am going to post out a copy of these @microbit_edu game worksheets from my @dzBritish workshops to 5 people that retweet this or new followers! I will use a micro:bit to choose at random 😀🎮🕹️🚗👾

@MrLovellComp @dzBritish @microbit_edu These look amazing- where can I get hold of them?

Thank you @dzBritish the booklets look great printed out! @microbit_edu

@TsuiAllen @duolingo Which language did you choose Allen? I started Welsh 8 days into 2024 so I’m coming up for a Duoversay but been a week out of sync all year 😆

Hurrah! I signed up to @duolingo on the 2nd January which is why I'm slightly out of sync with the days of the year so far... invite.duolingo.com/BDHTZTB5CWWKSY…

@Hookean1 @GunnKit Oh- he of Concepts of Modern Physics, the most readable of my undergrad text books! In similar vein, this an excellent set of guidelines 😊

@DrDavidBoyce The face of optimism 😆

It is noon on midwinters day and I am waiting at this sundial to see what happens. #WinterSolstice

@MisterFirth Aww! It was lovely to see him 🥰

@KathPhys Bentley’s not one for the spotlight

‘I’m much more productive doing PPA at home’ 🙃

@EdConwaySky Fantastic thread, thank you.

🧵Want to understand why weaning ourselves off fossil fuels like oil is such a tricky challenge? Best place to start is with this ubiquitous toy👇 This is a thread about what I call the LEGO conundrum. It begins when you ponder what a LEGO brick is actually made of...

@daraobriain @channel5_tv Fantastic. Love your science stuff 😊 Your ‘vomit comet’ explanation that astronauts in the ISS do not, in fact, experience ‘zero gravity’ is fabulous - so much better than the horrifically confusing language used by NASA!

Just a reminder that tomorrow, and Wednesday, on @channel5_tv my new science documentary “Secrets of the Sun” is on. Will include an Eclipse! A Nuclear fusion reactor! The apocalypse! And much more!

@UKAEAofficial Physics degree 😉

How did you first learn of fusion energy? #NetZeroWeek

@EngineerLondon Great info here @Hookean1 have you seen this?

BUT, BUT, BUT…. Just bury it underground. Not as simple as that… Part 1 👇🏻
