Morning, does anyone know of companies that specialise in the refurb of science labs? We need to get someone on site fairly quickly to do a survey and report for us as part of summer works application. TIA #edchatie

Summer reading and relevance to teaching the electrochemistry portion of the new Chemistry specification. No rest for the wicked. #edchatie #lcreform

Education in Chemistry@rsc-eic.bsky.social · 2y ago

Read about @ianmcdaid.bsky.social's tried-and-tested route for spiralling your curriculum to reinforce key ideas from 11 to 18 👇 https://edu.rsc.org/feature/the-7-best-practicals-for-teaching-electrochemistry-from-11-18/4020527.article #edusky #chatchemistry

That school’s out sound. 🎵 Now just to organise all of the paperwork for the new Biology and Chemistry specifications #edchatie #teachershaveiteasy

Would anybody have a pdf for the attached image? We want it for planning new LC specifications. ResearchGate are slow to approve me (going into months waiting) as my academic research is all in my maiden name. I haven’t been able to source it anywhere else. Thanks in advance. #edchatie #AEN #SEND

I hope everyone has read Section 5 and Section 6 that the unions are voting on with the lens of “will this help me deliver the new Senior Cycle specification?”. Talk so some Tranche 1 teachers about the “quality” of their experiences so far. I am voting “no”. #edchatie

Busy week: #Oide collaboratives in #ITeachChem and #ITeachBio, back stage for school musical, Form 6 Biologists doing a 2nd mock and Form 1 Parent teacher evening. I really don’t need to see my kids! #edchatie

Finally got around to watching @trythisteaching.bsky.social webinar on Adaptive Teaching; Low Effort, High Impact T&L Ideas to support students. Going to try do better with my word banks and use “so that”, refine my visuals and ditch focus on neatness. #edusky #iteachchem #iteachbio

This will be useful for the new Chemistry specification #edchatie #iteachchem

PhET Interactive Simulations@phetsims.bsky.social · last yr.

🥁New Sim! We are pleased to announce the Models of the Hydrogen Atom. 👩‍🔬 Visualize different models of the hydrogen atom. Relate the energy absorbed and emitted by the electrons to the spectrometer data. phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/models-of-the-hydrogen-atom #BohrModel #AvailableInPhETStudio

Ideas for the accessibility portion of the new LC subject plans to be found here. #edchatie

Peps@pepsmccrea.bsky.social · last yr.

One of the most effective ways to drive effective inclusion is to make our teaching ‘accessible by default’. Let's dig into what that means: ↓

Super day at the @irishsciteach.bsky.social annual conference. Great to see some of the textbooks in the flesh, listen to lots of great discussions and ideas and have chats with other science teachers. Well done to the Kildare branch on a super programme. #edchatie #ISTA25

This might be of interest to teachers prepping for the change to LC Biology in September #edchatie

Wellcome Connecting Science Engagement and Society@engagewcs.bsky.social · last yr.

(1/2) A Sunday morning scroll while listening to Morgan Wallen and this line from his new song reasonates “Knowin' I'm a little crazy, but the world's insane” - from respected journals towing the non-sensical American line to non-medical doctors running vaccine research to just the pure lack of

Oide/SEC webinar dates for discussion about the sample papers. School management to book from 31/03 until 10/04. #edchatie

Am I the only one to see the irony of an Irishman in a foreign country, on the day the Irish worldwide celebrate a foreigner’s achievements in Ireland, talking negatively about foreigners in a country built by foreigners?

Took our first year’s to see the #MuseumoftheMoon at St. Canice’s Cathedral. It was lots of fun getting them to find the names of the craters and finding the landing site. Plus it looked amazing. #ES4 #JCScience

Too cloudy in the “sunny” South-East of Ireland to see the #lunareclipse for #ES4 in #JCScience 😢

There's a countdown... going to be great! With @carlhendrick.substack.com and @hugheshaili.bsky.social ... can't wait! #iteachphysics www.youtube.com/watch?v=xswW...

It’s been a busy week so far. Had Cluster Day 2 for Biology and we had an excellent presenter. We have 7 Biology teachers in school but can only go to Oide sessions 2 at a time. Still no closer to making teaching sequence decisions but feeling better about it all. #edchatie #lcrefrom

Looking forward to getting my hands on this at the end of the month. Liked the idea of thematic approach (before I had an Oide days) and the types questioning. #edchatie

Got tax credit certificate from Revenue today for 2025. Did you know that you have to reapply for flat rate expenses and if you don’t do this, you won’t be getting the credit. Very easy to do via MyAccount. Watch from 8 min 40 in the video www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPh7... #edchatie

With 4 exam classes this year, got some time to work on new LC Chemistry specification teaching sequence. Felt stuck for awhile but generated “themes” & started writing retrieval practise statements and feeling excited about teaching it. Good progress made. #edchatie #cogscisci #iteachchemistry

I think teaching the new specs is a great chance to use #cogsci to help our students deal with the huge amount of content they are going to have to deal with, in less time then they have now. I just need time to figure out how I am going to do it. Anyone have any bottled and going spare? #edchatie

Chele. Post-primary Science, Chemistry and Biology teacher. Fell down the #cogscisci rabbit hole last year and may never come out. Looking forward to this evening’s chat #edchatie
