Black dot inside an orange circle… it’s mercury crossing the sun. Or possibly a spec of dust… lol. no, it’s a planet.

I don’t like to ask but - how DO you get followers in this place? If it helps, here’s a pic I took of Mercury crossing the Sun!

Death by PowerPoint: Why Science Teaching Needed a Visualiser Revolution Paraphrasing a small-scale classroom study on exposition and engagement; an origin story in content delivery evolution...

Really enjoyed this post about moving on from PowerPoint presentations to finally teach with students:

YouTube video by Physics with Simon Poliakoff Measuring the resistance of a person

Using a microammeter and low voltage power supply find the resistance of a person or even loop of people by measuring the potential difference across and current through them. It is a fun alternative to finding resistance of the usual components.

Souvent les physiciens et le reste du monde ne se comprennent pas notamment à cause de ça :

It’s often generational, during childhood if you have parents and or grandparents telling you that education is pointless (particularly further education) then you’re probably going to believe it.

“About Time” Teaching Resources The lovely people at DK have made some teaching resources to accompany “About Time” which include activities to help children think about the importance of time, practise telling the ti…

Primary Teachers! If you’re planning to mark “Non-Fiction November” in your school, there are some lovely teaching resources to accompany “ABOUT TIME”. The book covers science and history of timekeeping, and includes careers advice!

Excellent news! I look forward to getting a copy :)

***BOOK RELEASE DAY***

The book I've always wanted for AQA A level physics is out. It has:

-A page of notes, a page of questions *and* a QR code to a video lesson on each topic
-A page on each required practical, with example calculations
-A full set of exam papers
-Answers

Sums it up rather well!

My publisher is celebrating going back to school by offering “Why Don’t Things Fall Up?” for just 99p on Kindle. It’s perfect for you if you want to freshen up your knowledge of the science you should have learned at school. Also for students who want to deepen what they’re being taught for GCSE

Get them apples while this deal is on. Cheap at twice the price.

Great book. Buy it.

Two stories juxtaposed on the BBC website... sigh.

Anyone else spot the irony here?

Science Teachers! If you want a FREE online author talk for your students to discuss the ideas or anything related to "Why Don't Things Fall Up?" drop me a line! The book is JUST £3 at the moment, so you can buy a class set with free delivery for less than £100.

I finally got around to making a new visual for precision and accuracy that doesn't use a target!! I'm looking forward to introducing these concepts alongside uncertainty in a way that is a little more authentic to scientific measurements 🧪

After the independent head of the US CDC is fired, Robert Kennedy Jr's loyal deputy, Jim O'Neill, is appointed to take her place.

Sounds like my top 3 too probably!

Following on from the 'a physics teacher needs a large number of explanations for things' post, which are the topics/concepts that need the MOST?

Mine are:
#1 - potential
#2 - field
#3 - anything to do with circuits.

#Physics Homework. Estimate the energy transferred from the water to the hurricane using the change in temperature of the water. Yes, it's just a rough estimate - but it would be fun.

I would 100 per cent recommend SKPT! I've just learnt so much and I am so grateful for it

certainly the best CPD/training I have ever done. The whole things has been invaluable and has given me so much more confidence in delivering physics up to GCSE level
