Fantastic day spent at the IOP Stirling Physics Teachers meeting.
My last as chair, and as always great to chat to other physics teachers.
I have so many ideas to take back into the classroom, showing the importance of subject-specific CPD.

Today we're going to party like it's 2017.
S3s enjoyed finding the speed of a point on the edge.
Advanced Highers could explore angular velocities.
Perfect for close to the end of term. Just one more week to go!

Five minutes spent with him and his friend putting these two together, and they are convinced. Could not pull them apart with brute strength.

Reminder.
Dunking a Mint Aero in your coffee once is ok.
Dunking it once the outside wall has been breached will result in it dissolving before your eyes.
Still, there's bound to be interesting physics in the mechanisms.

Not me complaining about the sun on a November day in Scotland.
It didn't half make it difficult for my S2s to do a reflection experiment in my south-facing classroom.
Next week I'll ask for the Rayzer kit instead of the Ray boxes. #ChatPhysics
