Welcome to tonight's #ChatChemistry where we're talking moles for mole day! Q1: Moles have a reputation as a tricky topic, so how do you introduce it to students, and what are your favourite teaching strategies?

On TGT tomorrow it's the anniversary the birth of F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby. His story always makes me think of The Tennyson quote "tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all" bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

My Apple playlist wasn’t reading the room this morning on the way to work.

BREAKING: single-word overall Ofsted inspection judgements have been scrapped with immediate effect. Important to note that they remain for sub-categories, but still a huge change. Report card set for September 2025. All the details below www.tes.com/magazine/new...

Only a few pages in and I don’t want to put it down! @cmooreanderson.bsky.social

I think this panel is superb. Why? It's crammed full of of people who have a track record of taking on board multiple tensions and perspectives, embracing the complexity and finding a way forward. (@jonhutchinson.bsky.social, I'm looking at you mate!). 👏👏👏

It's been great to see the positive responses to the Curriculum and Assessment Review panel here on Bluesky. There have been a few questions on representation too...[1/2]

Big Questions/Ideas. I have managed to lose my book written by Ben Rogers and whilst I search for it any blogs on the above in science and how to teach them would be greatly appreciated.

Professor Emerita Mary M. Kennedy, who sadly died last year, has had a huge impact on my understanding of teaching, research and policy. I’ve been revisiting her work for a project and thought I’d share some of her gems (18), which are open access 🔓 Strap yourself in…🤓

Attached is the folder containing the latest version of my complete notes for AQA A level Chemistry (in spec order and including worked examples). The file name contains a date to make it easy to check if you have the latest version. #chatchemistry www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/u8e5n...

In my Organise Ideas presentation at #rED24 — with slides — I'll show you how you don't have to just show quotes in silence. There are always other approaches. Here's one where you have to predict the remainder of the quote. Just use that no-longer-mentioned facility: imagination

Improving Education. It's been 11 years since the release of Prof. Rob Coe's paper that introduced 'poor proxies for learning' and it's still relevant today. You can download a copy here 👇 https://buff.ly/3Z7wjSO

I'd like to link in with other researcher folk, please. Are there regional centres for #ResearchEd? Or research people/schools close to me? I'm in the North East. Help! 🆘 #EduSky #UKEd

The dreaded school shopping….eldest just having an ace time playing football in the shop, me panicking who she will knock out 😂

Well hello everyone on Bluesky.... this all rather feels like the early days of Twitter when it was a nice place to be.... After looking at new social media 'homes' during the summer, perhaps we have found our new home.

Anyone got something they've written along the lines of 'This is where physics can lead/these are uni courses where physics is needed/advantageous' that applies to the US? (I realize it's different here) Thanks! #iteachphysics

A new academic year is upon us 😄 Following summer conversations about #BehaviourManagement, here is my #edublog contribution - written a few years ago but still relevant whether you are an #ITT, #ECT or experienced #teacher needing to brush off the summer cobwebs. Have a great first week back!

I would love to have people post for me any blogs on negating poor planning and how to negate passivity.

Are you a tutor? Do you want more students? We are at the point in the year where tutoring requests flood in and some of our tutors are already full, we are looking for more teacher and tutors to sign up to our agency so we can match you with students. Please share as widely as you can!

Happy Birthday to Ernest Rutherford, born #OTD in 1871 🎂 Most famous for his gold foil experiment, from which he developed a model of the atom ⚛️ he also won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on radioactivity ☢️ www.compoundchem.com/2016/08/30/t...

I am delighted to have our panel announced, and to be working with such a fantastic group schoolsweek.co.uk/revealed-12-....

Shining white light though crystals with 2 refractive indexes, either side of polarizer light filters (one of which rotates), show stunning colours. Ben @cleapss.bsky.social to schools with a simple arrangement. Here are sugar, benzoic acid & MgSO₄.7H₂O. #ChatChemistry, #ITeachChem

We're looking for a Physics teacher, part time (0.6FTE) but permanent. Come join me in Ayrshire, the pupils and department are great. myjobscotland.gov.uk/councils/eas... #ChatPhysics #UKEd #ScottishEducation

Excellent! @misssfranklin.bsky.social has just joined Bluesky, so we can tag her into this post we shared earlier. Another chance to watch her talk on assessment from ResearchEd Norwich 2020. Welcome to Bluesky, Sam! #EduSky #UKEd

As a rare treat, We've been organised enough to put a whole week of Tutor Group Think together ahead of schedule - don't get used to it, we're much more "flying by the seat of our pants" type of people. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

Yes @patricebain.bsky.social!!!
