Time to get out of here. It was great while it lasted, but there's little left worth seeing between all the ads, hate speech and bots.
See you all over in the other place - @physicsdrew.bsky.social – at Stewarton, Scotland

I am excited to be working with @dnleslie on the Talking Scottish Education podcast and having already had some good conversations with several guests I hope that it will make a good contribution to the educational debate in Scotland #talkscoted
Introducing Talking Scottish Education with @dnleslie & @stuartphysics
A new podcast that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of the debates in Scottish education.
Available on all podcasting platforms from Tuesday 15th April
#talkscoted
Some great #cloudchamber trail videos from my #higher #physics class. Many thanks to @aidanrobson at @UofGPhysAstro for loaning us the kits. – at Stewarton, Scotland
Not strictly #physics #clpl but always great events for teachers to meet and share ideas. I'll be heading up from Ayrshire, with a couple of spare seats, if anybody wants a lift. – at Stewarton, Scotland
We are delighted to have three events planned for 2025. Tickets for #PedagooPerth are available now bit.ly/PedagooPerth
Our in person events offer excellent CLPL, an opportunity to connect with other educators and delicious snacks! See you there?

This is a really useful article.
I also highly recommend @ShibliDom's back catalogue... edu.rsc.org/dom-shibli/50027…

Still time for teachers to sign up for our January modules #Energy #MatterSpace If you are teaching physics out of specialism, make 2025 the year you lose the physics fear! Build your classroom confidence and subject knowledge of KS3/4 physics

Another great day looking at waves practicals on our SKPT course. A lovely atmosphere with some fabulous Physics teachers! @ogdentrust @deaneryhigh
Thoroughly enjoyed visiting colleagues at @CastleheadHS to offer support for #practical work in my role as a @IOPScotland #physics coach. It's great to work with individual schools, but imagine the impact of being able to support a whole LA with subject specific #clpl – at Stewarton, Scotland

Interesting reading. Good to see a recommendation of subject specific professional learning.
Is this finally a recognition that this is needed and current provision is insufficient?
Almost all professional learning is not subject specific. Time to change this to improve L&T – at Scotland, United Kingdom

Getting started with @EdScotSciences at #sciencescic event. Looking forward to some useful discussions on how we can bring about improvement to the #science #curriculum in Scotland.
Features of a Future-orientated curriculum prioritised as critical, very important and important. #sciencescic – at Glasgow, Scotland

Headed into Glasgow to participate in the #Sciences Group of the #curriculum #improvement #cycle with @EducationScot. Looking forward to finding out more about the process and proposals, and hopefully making a contribution or two.

"SKPT is designed in a way that accommodates the workload of teachers. The content is delivered in a practical manner making it easy to pick concepts that you can directly apply to your teaching."

21st May 2025 is confirmed as the date for the 50th meeting. Mark your diaries! Registration opening soon. #IoPStirling.

From “why we need renewable energy” to “what makes atoms tick", core ideas in physics help young people see the world differently and think critically. That's why we’ve released the big physics ideas ahead of the government’s review of secondary school curriculums in the UK to highlight the importance of these concepts in schools, not just for future scientists but for everyone navigating a complex, tech-driven world. 🌐
Let’s equip the next generation to challenge misinformation, understand our universe, and imagine a better future. 🌠 Find out more here: iop.org/about/news/big-physi…
