Mrs Smith

Midlands / Staffordshire scientists… where do you get your microscopes serviced / repaired? My department will be forever grateful! Thank you 🙏

We have a lovely new lab technician who is struggling with our lack of practical templates to help him prepare our practicals.. does anybody have any ks3 practical instruction sheets they are willing to share (if it includes gums to bums I’ll be forever grateful 🙏) 🤞🏻

New blog post! ▪️Starters, retrieval & routines ▪️ Why they matter for SEND & PP ▪️ A bit of Rosenshine, Bjork & Ebbinghaus thrown in Would love to hear what you think 🤔 💭 don’t hold back 👇 teachingsciencecom.wordpress.com/2025/08/22/sta… RT welcome 🙏

@Miss_Crofts Amazing, you must be so proud 👏

I know I say it often, but I genuinely love my school. Hearing that we achieved our best ever results in science & so many other subjects feels amazing. But honestly, nothing tops seeing our students’ reactions & hearing what those results mean to them. That’s the best feeling!!

Any recommendations for science homework apps / websites? 🙏

@Miss_Crofts Great work!

Bringing B3 communicable diseases revision to life! Students created revision pamphlets on diseases from the specification - combining creativity with key knowledge for active learning.

RT appreciated 😇

Would any fellow pp leads be willing to share how they encourage parents / carers to apply for FSM?

@Miss_Crofts Tell me about it 😂 you’re definitely not alone!

Anyone else done no work and now regretting it? 👀

@teachyscience @Hookean1 @ChatPhysics @chatbiology @ChatChemistry Cell biology, organisation, atomic structure and the periodic table, bonding, energy and electricity. Thank you 🙏

@MrsSmithBio @Hookean1 @ChatPhysics @chatbiology @ChatChemistry What topics do you need imminently?

Looking for aqa combined science end of topic assessments, even better if they are 30 marks… also mid unit quizzes / tests too. Maybe a scheme of learning showing the assessment points 🙈 maybe I’m asking for too much 😂 @Hookean1 @ChatPhysics @chatbiology @ChatChemistry

Thank you! My issue is our exampro subscription has expired and I’m waiting for finance to authorise it and I need assessments asap

Just need to find somebody to go with 😅

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve successfully completed my physics course! 🎓✨ Onward and upward to new challenges and opportunities! #AchievementUnlocked #Physics #LearningJourney #Education #FutureGoals

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

has anyone got any tips / research / blogs /resources for raising attainment in Science? I want to support the students I teach in every way possible! Thank you ☺️

@Miss_Crofts I’ll have a look, I’m second in dept. at the school I’m at - where I went when I left you. It would be nice to catch up with you, if you wanted to.

@MrsSmithBio Oh fancy applying? 👀

Please share with anyone seeking a science job in the West Midlands! Our school prioritises teacher wellbeing with shared planning and personalised CPD through instructional coaching. Feel free to reach out with any questions! tes.com/jobs/vacancy/t…

@InquisitiveTea2 Can I have the link please 🙏 x

If anyone would like to have access to any of these, please get in touch and I’ll send you the Google Drive link.

🧵 To support our PSHE programme, our form tutors deliver some of the PSHE content to their forms. This is delivered via seven PSHE weeks across the year. Students have 4x20min sessions across the week. During the half term break, I have been creating sessions and booklets…
