One of my all time favourite series! As a bonus, it is also a finished series. Keep going as it is totally worth it.

This was followed with a terrible dad style joke about relationships and how one should never find themselves in a 'dative covalent bond relationship'

Ben Scott @bcscott36.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

Tricky one. I've just finished bonding and noticed how much I personified atoms about how much they 'want' a full outer shell. I did also flip it round saying, we are like atoms and typically want to assume the most stable state. Would they rather stand or sit for the whole lesson?

Woohoo @teachertapp.bsky.social such a wonderful app that I recommend to all teachers #1000Days

A sperm whale surfacing with a giant squid in its mouth. I love seeing things like this. Reminds me of the raw and beautiful savagery of nature.

ChemDraw turned 40 this week! 🎉 I worked with Revvity Signals to put together this graphic showing how the chemical drawing program has developed from basic beginnings to the integration of features to predict spectra and highlight structural features wp.me/s4aPLT-chemd... #ChemSky

Infographic timeline showing the history of the ChemDraw program, including its creation in 1985, release on Mac in 1986, release on Windows in 1993, addition of prediction tools in 1997, integration with CAS SciFinder in 2014, addition of ring colouring and colour highlight features in 2019 and 2020, and the release of a cloud-powered version in 2024.

Never waste a demonstration! I love doing a methane rocket to teach balancing equations. Making nylon is one of my favourite demonstrations.

Why not try a digital lab report video? www.ase.org.uk/resources/sc... Trialled it last year with a chemistry practical and doing it again for a biology investigation this year.

A primary headteacher recently got in touch: what are schools doing about AI in reports? Allowing it? Banning it? Here's what we found out... 🤷‍♀️ Over half of teachers said their school has no policy ✅ 33% say AI use is explicitly allowed 🚫 5% of schools have banned it

✈️ Evidence-Informed Wisdom is here!! ✈️ RT for a chance to be the first to read it. Today we received our advance copies. It’s a serious book written in a funny way. It’s my favourite thing I’ve ever done. Will pick someone at random on Sunday night and post them a copy!

Dorothy Hodgkin was born #OTD in 1910. She won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work using X-ray crystallography to determine complex chemical structures 🏅 wp.me/s4aPLT-hodgkin #ChemSky 🧪

Today in Chemistry History infographic on Dorothy Hodgkin. Hodgkin used X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of vitamin B12, for which she won a Nobel Prize. She went on to determine the structure of insulin.

I usually set as homework and have found experience of Minecraft varies so difficult to say. Engagement can be through the roof for some. I have learnt to have other options available, or allow them to work collaborately. For the digestive system I have had some simply do one part.

Ben Scott @bcscott36.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

Through Office365 we have signed pupils up to MinecraftEdu. There is no reason why regular Minecraft can't be used for those who own the game. I ask them to model learning, through screen shots or videos. KS3 they make a digestive system. KS5 models of membrane and cell. Also done nitrogen cycle

The ability to make custom classroom layouts which can flip from teacher view to student view would be useful

Our pupils loved @jimalkhalili.bsky.social talk on time travel yesterday at GCSE live. We love the simplicity in which you explained some tricky concept! Have you ever seen Beyond the infinite two minutes? It is one the most original time travelling concepts I've ever seen!

We are quite strict on age requirements for AI use with pupils. I have found asking AI to summarise a process in 7/5/3 sentence interesting. Can then discuss them with the class. An interesting starter the other day was showing an AI image and asking how they knew it was AI generated.

No worries. Kat Arney also has a very good biology podcast called 'Genetics Unzipped'.

Another brilliant piece by Becky! Some excellent food for thought, even before it considers AI use for teachers.
