Optics Ambassador Scheme 2026 | King's College London Girls interested in physics can upskill in optics and learn how to share what they've learned with younger pupils

If you know any physics teachers or female Y12 students, please pass on this link to advertise the KCL Optics Ambassadors Scheme - an outreach programme to support girls' interest in optics and studying physics at university - applications are now open: www.kcl.ac.uk/events/optic...

Two books: Storm in a Teacup and Blue Machine

*cough* If you're gift shopping for anyone interested in how the world works, do consider these. Storm in a Teacup is all about the physics of everyday life and Blue Machine is all about how the ocean works - the water itself, which is the biggest story on Earth. Share the joy of nature & science!

For schools who hold radioactive sources and need to pay an external RPO to meet H+S rules (areas where CLEAPPS don't provide this service)
1) how much do you pay per year for this?
2) is it worth it?
3) how many schools have disposed of all sources due to costs?
4) A level RP if no sources?

Copper Sulfate

Wonderful crystals, dangerous blue or a 'power up' ???

We are getting an increasing number of emergency Helplines about Copper Sulfate.

Please see the latest details here : science.cleapss.org.uk

Maybe in the future.. there is a chance they will return!!

Physics teachers (especially in the North) do you have a well sequenced scheme of work? Can we come to visit? Has to be on 6th June. Lemme know!

Can anyone suggest where I can find apparatus for the SHC continuous flow demo? I couldn't find it on the Philip Harris website. @hookean.bsky.social @chatphysics.bsky.social

Build better sentences in science writing How can we ensure students understand complex scientific ideas, beyond just recalling facts? Developing their ability to write clear, precise sentences about science is a powerful, often overlooked…

Thank you everyone for taking part in #ChatPhysics this evening and please continue the discussion. Many thanks to ChatPhysics for allowing me the keys to their shiny new BlueSky account for the day!

It’s all about the hype. Especially if the thing you are looking at is basically an ordinary thing made special because of some other reason. Like this is THE patent office.

Oh yep. I took my own kids to Bletchley. I was super excited, but they found it dull. I should have hyped it more.

Not amongst the things I was expecting to see this evening! Thank you @drdavidboyce.bsky.social ! Is it gravity fed?

How do you travel, by train?

Euro Space Center Welcome to our launch pad. Come on board for a journey into the daily life of astronauts! Relive the conquest of space and walk on the Moon and on Mars.

I take 60-80 year 9 students to the eurospace centre in Belgium in June. Basically an interactive ‘train to be an astronaut ‘ experience with on site accommodation and food so it’s all self contained #chatphysics #iteachphysics

Wow!
