Hello everyone!
I am working on my dissertation, & my topic focuses on the social inclusion of students with autism in elementary schools. Please consider taking the survey below, & sharing it with any other educators/ administrators that you may know.

My friend is teaching IB physics for the first time this year and doesn’t use twitter, is there anyone on here willing to share their experience and/or resources with him?

Interesting new study on LLM use in an educational setting:
"...the LLM group's participants performed worse than their counterparts in the Brain-only group at all levels:
neural, linguistic, scoring."

Refraction is cool
This is Tub and Blue. They simply cannot figure out how to get their tennis ball that fell in the pool. Still 12/10 because they really are trying

Not exaggerating, this might be the greatest demo I’ve ever seen. Definitely trying this tomorrow!
Physics teachers. Please share this video with your classes if you think it would help their understanding of static and current electricity ⚡️🙂

ScotGov Teacher Intake Figures 2025:
Physics: Target 131, Actual 42
Chemistry: Target 159, Actual 54
Biology: Target 163, Actual 88
Maths: Target 250, actual 75(!)
These are worrying figures caused (imo) by a lack of permanent jobs post probation. Something must be done soon

I’ve been playing around with Google Gemini’s deep research functionality and it does a pretty good job at generating experimental results for common experiments. Has anyone come across kids trying to use this? #sciteachuk #iteachphysics

Are you a US scientist thinking of quitting the States for Europe? Would you be willing to talk about it — anonymity is possible? Send me a DM.

Straight onto the shopping list I think!
Here is the new UNILAB Joule and Watt Meter in action! A fab bit of kit from Philip Harris 🙂

We've known for over 112 years that burning fossil fuels increases CO₂ in the atmosphere.
We've also known CO₂ and other greenhouse gases reduce the heat that escapes to space, keeping the planet warmer for just as long.
The time to act was then, if not now.

Grok on the other place is beginning to scare me. I have never said something related to this. Seems to me like another push towards this “post-truth” that Elon seems to want to create

Fun thread to think about this morning. Definitely worth a read
#EDUSKY Thread: Why deliberate practice and habituation might accidently lead to reduced teacher motivation.
There is a strange phenomena in teaching. In some cases new teachers join the profession and over a few years we teach them all the best ways to do things and they become amazing teachers...

Giving pupils the time to explore ‘the physics’ before getting into the nitty gritty of the theory is what practical science is all about. Dispersion is always special! #IteachPhysics
