Pay Me… | Teaching Science

https://teachingofscience.wordpress.com/pay-me

Three days a week (ish) I’m a teaching and learning coach with the Stimulating Physics Network. Linked to the Institute of Physics. I’ve also written on teaching topics for the Guardian. And the Royal Society of Chemistry. I’ve produced resources. For the Welcome Trust’s I’m a Scientist Get Me out of Here and contributed to projects for AQA. I’d love to write for you. But I have a simple rule; if the site makes money then I need to get paid. Check out ShouldIworkforfree. Feed for this Entry. You are comm...

Revision Lesson Ticklist | Teaching Science

https://teachingofscience.wordpress.com/2014/06/02/revision-lesson-ticklist

SciTeachJC: Strengthening the Student Toolbox. Waves Revision (AQA P1). Disclaimer: I stole this idea from @ange01. It was saved to my notes a while back, and while planning today’s revision lessons I found the idea and decided to put it into practice. As usual, I’ve adapted it to suit what I wanted; blame me for the problems and credit her with the original idea. Each student gets a printed list. Got myself ‘unstuck’. Looked up a definition. Used an example to support my answer. Feed for this Entry.

Science Club: Shortlist | Teaching Science

https://teachingofscience.wordpress.com/2015/03/10/science-club-shortlist

Science Club: Building with Pasta. My son’s primary school was looking for more after-school activities. My wife was at the meeting where they discussed the possibilities. And I’m a science teacher with a bit of spare time as my current role is both part-time and out of the classroom. You can see where this is going, can’t you? Many of which were aimed more at KS3. In the end, I presented the science coordinator with two options I felt would provide interest without a huge workload. The idea of providing...

My #aseconf | Teaching Science

https://teachingofscience.wordpress.com/2015/01/15/my-aseconf

Square Pegs and Round Holes 1/2. To increase the chances of this actually getting posted – instead of sitting in limbo like the (ahem) five drafts I’ve not completed – this will be briefer than my usual approach. But I figure bullet points are better than nothing. I met my good friend and fellow physicist @90 maz. On the train on the way down. (She also blogs. It’s probably a bit sad that on meeting Keith Gibbs I wanted to shake his hand and thank him for his help. His book was a gift on finish...But it ...

Republican Primaries | The Not-Quite-So-Friendly Humanist

https://notsofriendlyhumanist.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/republican-primaries

Not so much about humanism anymore. Expect lefty politics and thoughts about higher education. And don’t even get me started on campaign finance! What happened to the votes counting, not the money? And now we have this new 20 minute advert attacking Mitt Romney, a thoroughly unpleasant person who, remarkably, is probably one of the more moderate candidates of the pack, which will cost $3.5m to air in South Carolina. Here’s the trailer (yes, a trailer for an advert):. Capitalism made American great. F...

Poor Pothecary: December 2007

http://poorpothecary.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

Devoted to outing bad science, this is the militant wing of The Apothecary's Drawer. Thursday, 20 December 2007. Racehorse success in genes . or not. Interesting how different news outlets interpret a story. The Telegraph's. High price may not make champion horse. Reports an interesting result of a study by Alastair Wilson and Andrew Rambaut at the University of Edinburgh finding that stud fees are a poor marker for genetic quality of racehorses. The Guardian. Classification. Yet others go by Dosage.

Poor Pothecary: March 2008

http://poorpothecary.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Devoted to outing bad science, this is the militant wing of The Apothecary's Drawer. Tuesday, 11 March 2008. This has been widely reported, but deserves repetition: the BBC and others (see Police duped over fictional drug. Have been caught out for repeating a hoax story about "strawberry meth", an alleged drug being distributed to schoolchildren. Some headteachers who received it even held special assemblies to pass it on. This has quite a strong resemblance to the old Blue Star Tattoos. Is my main blog,...
