Making this video was EYE-OPENING. It's hard doing the frequency measurement with the stopwatch right? Do you look at the stop watch? Do you look at the tank!? Nightmare. I give you a maths tip here to get round that error heavy timing.

Let me know how you do it!

World book day 📖 🐛

Walked Ada to school and we had a quick primer on space travel and gravity 🕺🏼 every morning should be this cool.

“Rudy, what face would you pull to represent mankind on a space mission?” 😅 lord help us…

First recording of 2025 to get back into the sa-wing of things 💃

Nothing like some pretty optics to stir up some wonder in the classroom 🤩

Mad. I wonder where the biggest sense of achievement comes from now. Surely handing in a computers work, as opposed to handing in your own work can’t generate the same sense of accomplishment 🤷‍♀️

So disheartening 😔

a problem. Are we now just training students how to use AI? Drop your thoughts and experiences below. I wanna hear ‘em! #ITeachPhysics #ChatPhysics #LTHEChat

Maybe even before they attempt it at all? Maybe now the common route to homework is instantly run it through ChatGPT and decide if the computer has got it right, rather than thinking about it head on first? Defending a given answer is a very different skill to learning how to logically tackle…

will miss out now on the tenacity and persistence that is required on tackling a tough problem. And not to mention the endorphin release that comes with nailing that maths! 🤓

I wonder how many students now whizz their problem sheets through #ChatGPT upon deciding a question is too difficult? …

Tea time AI talk… my favourite memory of my time as a #Physics UG is staying up till the early hours, trying to tackle the impossible questions on a problem set. Finally landing the right approach and answer is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling feelings, and I worry that students… 🧵

Who’s got the better fringe? Lee or the interference pattern? 🤔😂😂

When your trousers break just before a meeting 😅😅 but it’s fine cus you work at a factory so make shift buttons are a thing 🕺🏼🕺🏼
