I asked ChatGP to describe the job of a teacher in the words of Philomena Cunk:

As part of British Science Week, we celebrate the enrichment activities which extend our student's science learning. The Royal Society of Chemistry’s ‘Top of the Bench’ challenge is a firm favourite with students, with teams from both Schools participating this year #BSW23

As part of Science Week, the SHS Chemistry team visited Stamford Junior School with some Chemistry prefects to add to Mrs Britton’s Y6 science class. The children participated in a ‘density column challenge’, helping to develop the pupil's scientific thinking & practical skills. #BSW23

My article on how to approach teaching moles at post-16 (and useful for pre-16 too). I hope you find it helpful. #chatchemistry #asechat Retweets are appreciated. 🙂

The Medical Society at SHS gives students time to discuss current healthcare issues, carry out practical activities & receive support with organising work experience & other aspects of university applications. The students have been practising their suturing skills using bananas!

Curriculum handbook. A resource designed to: 📖 improve curricular understanding 👥 develop a shared language around curriculum 🔗 connect teachers to their subject communities mrvallanceteach.files.wordpress.com/2021/12/curric…

Another fantastic opportunity to join my Chemistry teaching team at Stamford! Beautiful location, lovely community and an ethos to develop the whole student. What more could you want?! Please share 🙏🏻 #edujobs #chatchemistry Chat Chemistry tes.com/jobs/vacancy/t…

BIG TECH NEWS. Adam Robbins has been chatting to the Microsoft paperclip and we can now offer remote access to CogSciSci23 (please note that there are no guarantees about which sessions will be streamed/recorded). Check the Eventbrite page for details and tickets

A quick thread on delivering training to a department. Some do's and dont's. Let's say you have been asked to deliver training to your department on a specific area of the curriculum. In science this could be a required practical or in English it could be about a text (1/7)

NEW BLOG: Core questions are s***…tomchillimamp.medium.com/core-questions…

In the world's largest vacuum chamber, a bowling ball and feathers are used for a real-life demonstration of a concept Galileo first proposed over 400 years ago.

Just *blew a trainee's mind* by showing them how to Use "win + v" to access your clipboard and copy and paste multiple items Use "win + ." to access mathematical and scientific symbols Use word's "print pages: 1,1" to print the same page twice on a sheet 🤯🥳🤣

Visualization water turning into ice

Atoms switching to become ions (or reverse) is cool. The moment zinc loses electrons, it can dissolve in water and become invisible. The moment hydrogen ions gain an electron, they pair up and become flammable gas.

If some Chemistry teachers I know had designed the periodic table 😉 #iykyk
