Anyone recommend some AQA a level psychology teaching resources shared?

Any good blog posts on teaching using exemplars (exam questions etc)

@Paul_SciTeach Is there a decent method for this?

Maybe the best cauliflower tissue culture I've ever had from my triple biologists 🧑‍🔬🌱

@STEMyBanda @ChatPhysics @ogdentrust Amazing. Thank you!

Any recommendations on GCSE physics courses (how to approach the required practicals, ideas/tips to teach challenging concepts etc) for non specialists @ChatPhysics

Are there any polish translations of A level bio/chem/phys books (revision guide preferably) @chatbiology @ChatChemistry @ChatPhysics @cgpbooks

@staffdb66 @MsDowdSci @madamwaitt Being quoted in a tweet... my claim to internet fame 😂

@MsDowdSci @madamwaitt This is a screen shot from last year.. but the recommendation has been in place for many years

Open evening felt really successful 🎉🥳

Anyone willing to share some AQA GCSE/ A level lab logger templates ( happily take some KS3 ones). Using it for the first time 🙂 @chatbiology @ChatChemistry @ChatPhysics

Immensely proud of my Year 13 pupils. You never sat exams for GCSE, sat some career altering ones in the summer, with no consideration by exam boards of the previous statement, and you have done yourselves and me proud. That's all. ❤️

@Philip_HarrisUK The Cedars Academy definitely does

@KJF239 @clare_ham @chatbiology We did immobilised enzymes. Tech mixed alginate and amylase. Really easy for kids to follow. Lasted 50 mins easily. Not a lot of faff. We have also had lots of slides set up and pupils have done biological drawings after the cell expansion talk bit.

@clare_ham @chatbiology Wow, so many! If you don’t want to do practical you could do 'this is a cell at GCSE' then 'and THIS is a cell at A level' and show the amazing detail of organelles. Show animations of intracellular movement, electron micrographs of different cell type etc??

Ideas for year 10 taster session for A level Bio?! There are hundreds of kids coming, 10 x 50 min sessions running. Honestly would rather not do practical with that many unknown students! What would you do that’s appealing?! #chatbiology @chatbiology

@Carousel_Learn is there a way for all staff to access the results/link for a quiz set? Not just appear on the list for the staff that set the task? Also, can you get a printable list of all quizzes completed with scores for an individual pupil? Like a mark book page?

Why are they so little... Omg shush...SLANT...yes standing is important in practicals... Look at that chromatogram...why can't year 10 be this enthusiastic about science.. just some thoughts on transition with year 6

Stolen idea from our french team, summer task for the year 6 transition. Basic names, units and variables. Next year might get a head start 🤞

Super defrosting hearts period 5. Still a bit crunchy but the kids had fun (seeing how strong and thick the heart muscle walls were). Have got a lingering bloody organ smell following me around though...

Is the science booklist from lockdown still floating around somewhere here? I am sure someone made an excel sheet ??

@KJF239 Send through an DM and I can share mine with some activities across

Does anyone teach the carbon cycle at KS3 and have a lesson plan or resources I could have a look at please?

@D_M_Clancy @Emmalucephysics looks about right 😂

The 4 stages of getting the Ofsted call according to Tom Wambsgans and Greg Hirsch. #teacherlife

@sabrinasfm1 I wish they would make these places available for people over 25. Some of us never got these opportunities when we were younger bc we were in school full time and would love an opportunity to shadow at 40.

Triple physics - any tips for last min revision?
