You asked and we listened!
From today, Carousel GOLD🔶 and PLATINUM🔲 users can make it compulsory for students to view and answer the flashcards before they can proceed to take a Homework/1-on-1 device quiz!
When setting a quiz, simply select OFF, OPTIONAL or MANDATORY for the Revision Mode option you prefer.
You can also set a default under the MY ACCOUNT settings.
Happy quizzing!
Our technicians found 4 of these during a stock check of physics equipment. Does anyone know what they are? @CLEAPSS @edmunds_dr
Thought provoking and fits with how I'm trying to improve exam technique for y13 chemists.

***COMPETITION***
Oops, silly me. I ordered 4 too many copies of my KS3 physics workbook so *have* to give some away.
One will be given to:
-Someone who retweets this
-Someone who likes this
-Someone who comments & tags in a friend/colleague. The tagged person will also win one
Does anyone have any experience in having booklets printed externally? I'm looking to reduce costs and wondering if this would help. Thanks

NEW POST: Disciplinary knowledge in science - one school’s journey to improve their presentation of disciplinary knowledge across their science curriculum. Written by the excellent @mr_badham cogscisci.wordpress.com/2022…

Since it's a strike day, I thought I'd write a quick post on teacher shortages and why teachers should be wary of student loan write-offs and golden hellos.

Sometimes I find it hard to put into words all the feelings about teaching. I can be accused of being too negative and too optimistic in the space of one week. This article I think expresses everything I really feel all the time, all at once

I know there's a higher take up of physics A level by girls from all girls schools but has anyone analysed whether girls get different (better?) results at A level phys in a single sex setting? @STEMLearningUK
My game changers with MWBs:
1. School having pen and board as compulsory part of eqpt list for ss, checked every am by tutors with behavior policy to support.
2. MWB under the visualiser. Go through diagram with class. Rub out labels, quiz ss (using their MWB for high ratio)
Always calms my first lesson nerves to read a straight forward blog with explicit examples.

It took me 10+ years of teaching to isolate this skill from my students.
It's now one of those "big bang for your buck" problems.
