If you are a Physics teacher in the North West of England, you should definitely apply for this job at Ashton Sixth Form College. Here are some reasons why. Retweets very appreciated! 👇

Our students also built cloud chambers to investigate high energy particles at a fantastic workshop at CERN!

Our students at CERN in Geneva Switzerland, about to have a tour of the largest scientific experiment in the world!

We always try to make physics come alive! Look at our new demonstration of standing waves!

Our Oxbridge entrance exam session is in full swing! Our students are solving some fantastic problems to prepare them for the PAT, ENGAA and NSAA exams for Oxford and Cambridge! : )

An opportunity has arisen within the adult and higher education team for a professional, self-motivated Senior Admissions Officer with a strong focus on customer service and attention to detail. Interested in joining our outstanding team? Visit asfc.ac.uk/job-vacancies/…

The first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie. Learn more: nobelprize.org/prizes/chemist…

We are incredibly pleased with our results from the British Physics Olympiad Senior Physics Online Challenge for Year 12- 3 gold medals, 5 silver medals, 5 bronze medals. Well done to our students!!

As we continue our celebrations of #AntimatterDay, tell us what you know about #antimatter? ⚪⚫ These unique characters created by @STFC_Matters will tell you more! #UKatCERN #AntimatterDay2023

A huge thank you to @GuideDogsNW for paying us a visit today and to all students who came down and gave a donation, a perfect well-being lunch break!

We are about to teach electric fields! Here is a beam of electrons being deflected in a powerful electric field to showcase to our students.

Congratulations to our students who did extremely well in the British Physics Olympiad! We have 1 Silver Medal, 2 Bronze Medals and 3 commendations in the hardest physics olympiad in the UK. Well done!

Physics students took a trip to Switzerland this term to visit the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. They got to visit the Antimatter lab at CERN and also see the infamous computer on which the 'World Wide Web' was created! Read more: asfc.ac.uk/news/2022-12-1…

Last week our Physics students visited the largest antimatter lab in the world at CERN near Geneva. This experiment aims to detect differences in gravitational acceleration for antimatter, which has never been done before. Fascinating!

Good luck to our students sitting the British Physics Olympiad today! This fantastic competition always contains some hard and interesting problems!

A very exciting opportunity for students to take part in! 🌍🔬⛰️🌟

BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Physics to Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger.

Happy GCSE results day! We’re all ready to begin enrolment! ⭐️

The main take aways: 1️⃣ first direct evidence of central black hole in Milky Way (dark shadow in centre) 2️⃣ it’s an average image because material around black hole very variable 3️⃣ image agrees with predictions of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity #EventHorizonTelescope

NEWS FLASH! It’s not a dislike of “hard maths” that puts girls off studying or pursuing careers in maths + physics. It’s outdated and damaging stereotypes that close doors on many talented girls and women. Ready to hear about some of our most inspiring women physicists? 🧵
