Over half of 20-22 y/o in England felt school science had too much focus on getting grades rather than building an interest in science. One young person said they would have wanted "less focus on exams and more on learning and understanding". Read more: discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1015…

@crestem_kcl @HeatherKingKCL Congratulations Professor!

We are pleased to announce that @HeatherKingKCL has been promoted to professor. A wonderful achievement that rightly celebrates Heather's many contributions to science education and her excellence in teaching. Well done Heather!

We're really excited to announce a new sister journal to the School Science Review on the way! The new SSR In Practice journal will focus on advice and CPD that can be used directly in a classroom setting... Take a sneak peek 👀: ow.ly/4Cbb50JFOFk @dave2004b #ASECjhat

This is great.

Found some thermochromic paper at the bottom of a drawer, not used in ages, and decided to use it to show thermal conduction instead of the vaseline and pins practical. :))

Today was my non working day so I got chance to play with my new hobby. Now I can stamp pencils the possibilities are endless! #hotfoil

I’m excited about my new hobby!

We had birds of prey in today. Here’s my #owlselfie

@KayBeeCee1 @MissHalley_mfl Your comment is so flippant and unhelpful. There is always something to praise when working with children. If you receive negative after negative interaction with teachers and other school staff you won’t be receptive to any phone call from school.

Phoned a parent about his son's disrespectful attitude towards me today. Dad said, "Anything else?" "Okay, anything else?" "...and anything else?" That was it. I wonder where this kid gets his attitude...

This is my amazing school friend! Congratulations 👏 🙌👏🙌
