Two weeks in and I’m glad I made the transition from books to booklets with Y7-11. I’m finding students are spending far less time writing notes and far more time practising their knowledge and I already have much more data in my mark book to see who is struggling or excelling.

I only leant about this tip last week but it saves so much time! Can print 4 tiny versions of an A4 page onto one A4 page by popping 1,1,1,1 into the “pages” box and 4 pages per sheet - handy to tape the markschemes to 5-markers etc close to the question when marked. 💡💡

Teaching Y12 how to estimate population size by random sampling in the lab with 60 paper daisies. Their estimate was about 250. “That can’t be right… there’s no way she’d be bothered cutting out that many daisies”. Too right.

Do people know about this simple demo for the impact of sweating on thermoregulation? Two TTs, wrap in cotton wool (one wet cotton wool, one dry cotton wool), fill with hot water, observe temp change. Wet cotton wool tube cools down much more quickly. #ChatBiology
