I got to teach the same lesson to 3 classes today and today’s highlight was scaffolding for a low prior attainment group so they all had success in their first lesson, which will hopefully build confidence.

First day of teaching today. Todays highlight was asking my year 10s ‘what is money’ and watching them realise it is a lot harder to explain than they thought.

Great day of teaching, including one of my favourite Biology lessons - making algae beads.

It needs patience to avoid creating one jelly blob, but my S2s did great.

Didn't get a photo as the beads were whisked away to be added to bicarbonate indicator.

This week is privacy week in my course! We're discussing all the privacy violations out there (remember the Street View roll out 😱) and how we can, at least minimally, start to protect ourselves. And of course I'll be playing this Rockwell banger (listen for those MJ backup vocals)

Today’s highlight. I have picked up a foundation tier year 11 class who are very low in confidence. I used @isaacphysics.org questions starting with the ones designed for year 7&8 to get a high success rate and to expose misconception. Nice, easy to use scaffolding.

S1s today enjoyed talking about changes in state, after lessons heating salol and nail varnish remover.
So many questions about examples and counter-examples - egg yolk, oobleck, liquid nitrogen. Loved their enthusiasm and willingness to listen to others contributions.

It is hard to pick a highlight from yesterday. Took the Alevel environment science students out into a field to look at diversity and soil. Year 10 had a good lesson developing a practical to investigate personal power climbing stairs.

We're discussing the mechanisms of algorithmic bias in class today, using the Obermeyer et al. Science article as an example. I'm re-reading it for class and it's just so good in so many ways. Recommended reading for sure.

My S1s enjoyed learning about the signs of a chemical reaction. Today we did precipitation and effervescence.
The colour change as well as precipitation surprised them.
They all then loved seeing the gas coming from the HCl and magnesium ribbon.

Talking in class tomorrow about Google's AdWords and students regularly respond with so what if I get ads targeted to my likes? So then I get to remind them that gender-specific Help Wanted ads were outlawed decades ago but have crept back in (in worse ways) via "personalized" ads

Yesterday I saw a few people using #Todayslesson but I completely forgot to add one myself. To be honest the missing apostrophe on that one would start to annoy me. If you’ve got a good suggestion I’m happy to adopt it!

N5 pupils studying today. One sees the demonstration of friction with two phone books. Wonders if it's true.
Five minutes spent with him and his friend putting these two together, and they are convinced. Could not pull them apart with brute strength.

We're talking about the history of AI in class tomorrow which gives me the opportunity to play clips from one of my favorite RadioLab episodes: G

Also clips from The Imitation Game (cheesy but serves a purpose) and Blade Runner (amazing). It's gonna be lit, as the older kids say

More than a million American kids a year get IQ tested, but in the state of California, if your kid is Black, they almost surely won’t be given one.

I’m a bit late with yesterday’s highlights but it was a fun day. It was my first proper lesson with my new L6 environmental science students, who are very keen. We were discussing what is essential for life on Earth.

To keep the positivity going using the tag #TodaysLesson to highlight something that has gone well, or made you smile. Idea from @catrionaagg.bsky.social

Great week of teaching.
Did pondweed investigation with S2, counting the bubbles.
The visualiser is so useful for helping them actually spot the bubbles.
Now onto the long September weekend. Long lie tomorrow.🥰
