All I can find on #asechat tonight is @teacherchalky1 trying to make a profit from getting people to download his teaching resources. Not what I was looking for!

I have a topic - please feel free to join in. Topic is, the importance (or not) of year 7 and 8 in science education. I have a feeling this is going to be the next focus point and it has been neglected for too long... #asechat

Years 7 and 8 are the ones that make students love or loath science. It’s the chance to engage students and develop the inquiring minds that carry them into GCSE. As important as KS4 & 5.... #asechat

#asechat we find years 7 and 8 hard to create resources for - they are too old for simple #science (principles), and want something more - maybe like simulation activities

Well done for trying to keep #asechat#asechat going.... I think that focus more on real life contexts is perfect for yr 7 and 8... I feel currently it's encroaching on GCSE work too closely.... i think it may be better to look more at science application/ careers etc

The effect if science on real world / news etc rather than force through 3 years of content in to 2 years so GCSE can start in yr9... just strip the whole thing back and stop worrying about a spiral curriculum / 5 year GCSE etc #asechat#puttingthecatamongstthepigeons

I'm a fan of a 5 year science curriculum, but not a five year GCSE science curriculum. I really think if we get it right, GCSE preparation can be left till quite late. #ASEchat

..and some neuroscience and studies into cognition seem to point to the importance of brain development and its impact on learning over the ages of 10 to 13. #ASEchat

... far years we did home learning projects... perfectly structured and differentiated over the years.... different subjects each term... I got some simple but great stuff out of it #asechat

Anyone know of CASE - a cognitive development programme for year 7 and 8? #ASEchat It aims to develop science thinking which is the foundation for much of the work done at KS4. Wondered if anyone had experience...

We use real life global context in our STEM challenges that pupils find really engaging #ASEChathttps://t.co/SoHBatLHaL ... and even have a doc showing how all our materials for the science curriculum.

Does anyone feel they have cracked assessment at KS3? Do you use GCSE equivalent grades? A totally bespoke system? An off the shelf resource? An exam board curriculum? #ASEchat
Yes... right on trend... national challenges on whole world issues help trigger interest and stretch and challenge students... I have set various challenges from such things before as science club projects #asechat
Are students too unprepared for GCSE science at the end of year 8? Or is it better to start the GCSE journey early to help build depth of understanding? #ASEchat
Well, thank you to all those who (or the one or two that..) took part in tonight's #ASEchat. Hopefully this topic can be explored with a wider audience another time. It's really important! Happy half term to those who have it...
