My book club is diving into sci-fi next month. None of them have really read much SFF except me. 😅 Please give me your best standalone* sci-fi recs! *First books in a series that can be read as a standalone okay too.

@hari_miller Good at the start then just massive plot holes towards the end which ruins it

Anyone else watching 3 body problem? I think it might suck my brain right out of my ear holes.

@CMooreAnderson This was an (ocr I think) mcq a few years ago - correct answer B

@CMooreAnderson Also, wind speed is often a bit of a tricky one (as wind speed increases so does rate of transpiration) but, at very high wind speed, the stomata close to minimise water vapour loss so very windy the rate then starts to decrease

@CMooreAnderson Just one point - at a level the exam boards usually require reference to water vapour (rather than just water) when referencing air spaces and atmosphere

@MissRimmer78 @chatbiology @KJF239 @edwards_dr2 @mrsjmasters Google image search for mitosis brings up lots of great images - both cartoon style for building confidence and then microscopy to stretch - sorry I’m Not tech savvy enough on my phone to paste the google links but there are so many to choose from

@chatbiology does anyone have good pictures for mitosis and cell cycle to help inexperienced low confidence yr12 identity phases and describe pmat?? @KJF239 @edwards_dr2 @mrsjmasters

As it's been announced that Caramac's are to be no more, what old-school sweet or snack do you miss the most❓ We'll start...

@DanHaygarth1 @danielblakeplay I saw it today - so powerful and raw……should be compulsory viewing for Daily Mail readers

Was deeply moved by 'I, Daniel Blake' at the Playhouse last night. A powerful rallying cry for decency and compassion, even more pertinent than when the film was released seven years ago. Barely a dry eye in the theatre as it came to an end liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/theat…

I hope someone is looking into who’s been investing in portacabin companies in recent weeks

@BreamGeorge @TeachLeadAAli You need to claim it and pay it back to qualify for NI contributions if one partner doesn’t work

Child benefit is so unfair- whilst totally needed for many, a household with both partners earning under £60k (£119,999 combined) can keep their child benefit but a household with only one partner earning over £60k (£60k combined) has to pay it back.

@KatLawrence 25th April DNA day - also has an annual essay competition

I'm updating my calendar with science days/weeks - are there more I need to know about?

I'm on the hunt for an AMAZING tutor for A Level Biology to support a BRILLIANT Yr12 student on her quest to become a Vet. 🐶🦒🐀🦔 Need someone familiar with AQA to help develop exam technique and who can deliver virtually. Her current predicted grades are... A* Psychology A Chemistry A Biology She's super dedicated and coachable. 💪

@WeydonScience @SarahComfort1 @SchoolWeydon Julia and Donald

We are excited to introduce two new members of team science! Our stick insects need names so we are kicking off science week on Monday with a chance to come to N3 at lunchtime to meet them and put your name ideas into the ballot. @SchoolWeydon let us know your suggestions!

@MissNawaz2 @chatbiology If they draw it for their team mates and correctly guess it’s 3 marks (pictionsry style)…..or if they act it out (charades) and correctly guessed it’s 10 points . Do as a whole class with lots of rounds

@MissNawaz2 @chatbiology I write loads of biology words on paper and put them folded in a bag. Two teams and they take turns to have 1 minute to pick out as many words as possible and get their team to correctly guess them. If they verbally describe the word they get 1 point (taboo style)…

Calling all A level biology teachers! Does anyone have a revision quiz for OCR A level biology? Looking to do something more fun for the very last lesson with year 13! @chatbiology Thank you!

@KJF239 “Better milk for cats” prac - immobilised lactase

What are everyone's favourite (and successful) immobilised enzyme practicals to do with Y13?

@simiisme I have laminated sets of different ones to highlight various different issues/types of graph - takes a lot less time that students drawing their own out during lesson time

@simiisme Give them some badly drawn graphs (inconsistent scale, missing axes titles or units, incorrect plotted points, poor line of best fit etc…whatever your main bug bears are) and ask them to identify the problems/mistakes

@davetidswell1 No worries - I teach a level not Irish LC so there would be a few other specific language tweaks would have to be made to use this for A level - I love the format/style of these - what software package are you using to make them

@Linner0151 Jaysus! Thanks Lyndsay!! The lack of sleep was getting to me there 😅 Attorney General is Pure for the base types! And I must have been cooking with thyme 😂😂

@mrsjmasters @LouiseSnape7 I think the final stage of the worked calculation is missing on this image - need to divide by 40 to get answer per minute - it will then match the mark scheme on the left (which this current view doesn’t)…. Or maybe I’m missing the second page as I’m not hugely tech savvy

A few more worked examples for Alevel maths questions added thanks to @LouiseSnape7 Keep them coming :) pedagoggles.wordpress.com/2023/04/26/sho…
