Really?! Perfect excuse 🤪

Does anyone have any Frayer models for key scientific words? I don’t want to start making them if they already exist! @chatbiology.bsky.social @chatchemistry.bsky.social @chatphysics.bsky.social

The Model for Great Teaching highlights 4 key areas:

1️⃣ Understanding the Content
2️⃣ Creating a Supportive Environment
3️⃣ Maximising Opportunity to Learn
4️⃣ Activating Hard Thinking

Which Element are you focusing on for the rest of the academic year?

I spotted this blog post on the other site - a great example of the impact of *effective* flash card use. And I love the idea of getting Year 7 to make flash card organisers in DT!

#Sale shopping on Boden and noticed an extra discount for teachers - bonus 🥳

Spent 20 minutes proving I’m actually a teacher only to find it’s 20% off full priced items only! 🤬🤦‍♀️ #NotApplicable

Great opportunity for using a T-test with A level classes (seen on the other site but I’m not using it now!) @chatbiology.bsky.social

Love this idea! Something I’ve always wanted to do but never have the time 😍🤩 #BiologyShelfie

Thanks for the speedy reply! There is literally *nothing* mentioned as far as we can see which is irritating. Trying to work out how they fit with exam questions…

Question for AQA maths teachers: what do the *s indicate for the questions in the OUP textbook? @cantabkitty.bsky.social @themathsbazaar.bsky.social

The birth of Jesus would probably have been forgotten – if it wasn’t for a plague | Jonathan Kennedy When a terrifying Ebola-like pandemic struck the Roman empire, Christianity offered solutions that the old ways didn’t, says academic and author Jonathan Kennedy

Then looking for the origins of the image, I found this one from the Belgian Society for Parasitology and Protistology. I’ve always thought trypanosomes were elegant but making a Christmas tree from them?!

Happy Christmas! Saw this image on the other place and loved it - a Christmas tree of mesenchymal cells.

That feels really vague though - more animal behaviour level of explaining than nervous system…

That’s interesting - quite niche though! Thanks

Exactly - reflexes are far more specific than “find mates”.

Thank you! For the first time in 12 years I’ve got an interactive whiteboard so I’m experimenting with it vs the terrible visualiser I currently have…

That was my thought eventually after a lot of thought but I couldn’t find a food-finding one…

Teaching chemistry for the first time in a long while so had a flick through this excellent book - the diagrams from @adamboxereducation.bsky.social were on my board the next day! Would definitely recommend Cracking Key Concepts in Secondary Science @chatchemistry.bsky.social

I came across this A level biology question and I genuinely cannot think of any examples of a reflex arc helping to find food or a mate. @chatbiology.bsky.social @edwardsdr2.bsky.social (it’s from your resources ) @kfbiology.bsky.social @stemybanda.bsky.social Any ideas??!

Happy to help!

I shared his FIFA blog with our PGCE student only yesterday - it’s great!

A classic example in biology is when students apply human chromosome numbers to all genetics questions - e.g. thinking that 23 or 46 is important and not that the number halves in meiosis.

Humans = relatable context but also leads to misconception

@chatbiology.bsky.social can you think of others?

I wouldn’t hold your breath…! bsky.app/profile/miss...

Can anyone help? I love this resource from the IOP but would like a printable version - does one exist or has anyone made one? @chatphysics.bsky.social @hookean.bsky.social #edusky #ITeachPhysics
