🚨 1,694 heads quit the state sector last year for reasons other than retirement (7.7 per cent of the workforce) - the highest on record and more than double the number leaving in 2015-16 Geoff Barton says: 'We cannot go on like this' schoolsweek.co.uk/record-rate-of…

Possibly the cheapest magnetism demo ever?😲🙂 #RepurposedPhysics

⭐️Physics Teacher Mentoring Scheme⭐️ We have a group of experienced physics teachers looking for mentees. If you are a non-specialist teaching KS5 Physics, or an ECT looking for additional support, we want to help you. Find out more about the scheme here: physicspartners.com/resources/ment…

The last day of the Gold DoE expedition. All groups up early for the last leg, heading towards Glen Nevis. Slightly wet overall but all groups have done incredibly well and still smiling. Teachers still smiling too despite Miss Pettit's tough routes!

Fantastic few days out in the Highlands with Gold DofE. The students did amazingly well in very wet conditions!

We're running a Quantum Coding Challenge with ORCA Computing for A-level physics or computing students on 26 September. There will be coding challenges, talks from experts and a careers panel. Find out more and register here: iop.org/events/quantum…

Sharing my this week's KS5 resources, two worksheets I plan to use in my lessons this week: Classification of Particles and Feynman diagrams with conservation laws. Repost and send feedback if you found useful. Dr Dan Jones Chat Physics drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

Making the parallel and perpendicular components of weight on a ramp a bit more tangible 😏 The tension forces from the hanging masses provide the equilibrium needed to remove the ramp altogether. 😮 #iteachphysics

FYI to those who have students taking the Oxford PAT entrance exam - the exams are online this year and students have to use the calculator that's part of the software. The calculator has quite an old syntax - your students might need training in how to use it.

I was really happy with this review before tomorrow's circular motion test 😀 1. Draw a labeled force diagram 2. Assuming that net force is 100 N and weight is 30 N, calculate all other forces 3. Figure out which scenario doesn't work with these values 😏 #iteachphysics

Rubens tubes were originally used for demonstrating acoustic standing waves in physics labs. Musician Moises Alves turned them into a form of art.

All Dr James O'Donoghue 's animations are SO good... ! Fab starter for my AP1 /A level - explain why this shows the gravitational field strength...

Thank you to everyone who has submitted snow depth reports over the weekend to weatherquest.co.uk/snowdepth/map ❄️ Here's a closer look at the extraordinary snowfall event in Cumbria, based on a blend of submitted reports and radar estimates — some locations received well over 30cm!

SO good!! Like this labelling of videos thing!

Great discussion point for lessons on gravitational field strength- so why IS this? g is not always the number 9.8... red is higher, blue is lower. Not sure who to credit but thanks!

Another insightful Physics Q from Eric Mazur⚡️🙂

tldr: like charges repel, unlike charges attract #research
