After the excitement of researchED #rED24 yesterday, SUPER EXCITED that I'll be speaking at a #rEDDenver in November! If you're near Denver it would be great to see you there! Anyone welcome - it's not just physics! researched.org.uk/event/rocky-mo… #cogsci #cogscisci #iteachphysics

Ha! So that's how they do it... but if they're diving straight down there is no refraction...? What am I missing? #iteachphysics

Anyone used this for AP1/Physics projectile motion? I can't seem to get it to do anything except vertically upwards. Carolina Biological #iteachphysics carolina.com/force-energy-a…

AMAZING moment today with my Year 13/Seniors in A level/APC Physics. S: I think I understand this psychology of learning you've been going on about Me: How so? S: On the homework the things I got stuck on were things I'd only done one or two times - it needs to be 3 or 4. 😍

BRILLIANT way to start the electromagnetic spectrum and get an idea of what that 'frequency' things means! Thanks Information is Beautiful !! Another fab graphic for those who #iteachphysics

I don't know if you highlight the Ignobels each year, but this time I'm focussing on this remarkable article. It's all about data AND where it comes from! (Thinking Andrew Watson here). #iteachphysics Thanks Saul Justin Newman UCL theconversation.com/the-data-on-ex…

I've had an Austin's Butterfly moment with my AP (A level) students. I give them numerical answers to homework, it's all about process AND MAINLY about a reflection paragraph. I showed them what I liked about a student's paragraph- YAY!! Step change in quality! #iteachphysics

Fascinating discussion in AP1 (year 12 physics) and deriving coeff. of friction µ=tanθ We could do it on Thursday - why couldn't we do it today? Because on Thursday it had just been a thing in our working memory and it will 2 more times (at least) to be in our long term memory!

WOO HOO!!! Only 11 days till #EducationFest and SO looking forward to the whole Cognitive Science strand - too many people to see! Still time to get a ticket! #cogscisci #cogsci educationfestusa.com/agenda/content/?

Just used Stanford University Storm tool from Stanford quickly researches a topic from online sources and then generates a report, a la Wikipedia style. Did one on 'Physics Teaching Using Cognitive Science'. It did mainly bring back things from unis not HS. storm.genie.stanford.edu

Anyone read this - any good? It seems to be focussed on uni/college, not High School/Secondary. #iteachphysics amazon.com/Science-Learni…
