Today I went out of my way to explain why certain bonds form in terms of electronegativity, stability and energy - but the students only got it when I resorted to “the hydrogen really wants to bond with the chlorine” and then everyone got it. How do you avoid giving atoms feelings? #iteachchem

Weekend to-do list: 15 items. Completed: just 3. Planned a Year 13 chemistry lesson on aldehydes, a GCSE astronomy lesson on Earth’s interior, and rescued my canoe from my old school. That is it. 😬

Does anybody have a photo of chemist Gladys Elsmie - who worked with Brady to develop Brady’s reagent? She has the same name as Elvis Presley’s mother and that’s is all google will give me. @compoundchem.com @rsc-eic.bsky.social @rsc.org @chatchemistry.bsky.social

Today’s job. Enroll most of September’s year 9 onto the Bronze @dofe.org award. Thankfully this year, I am a bit ahead of myself as I asked them who wanted to join in year 8 - and can now process the list.

Quick question. I am on the second day of a DSL course today. Are you only a DSL when in post as THE DSL or is everyone DSL trained a DSL? Like, imagine you are a pilot, but not flying this plane as THE pilot. Is THE pilot the only pilot and all other pilots not actually pilots? How does it work? ✈️
