@NeedhamL56 which research? sample size? Surely it's correlation not necessarily cause...? Pupils are complex organisms after all #asechat

@hrogerson which possibly means that they should be aware of science around them not just in the lab for an hour? #ASEChat

to children doing research, with a bit of physics video thrown in. What’s currently niggling you about science education? #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 4 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@NgeeOg have they done it yet,what dd they find out? What happens when your next lesson depends on homework? and they don’t do it? #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 4 @ 3:35 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 That so little educational policy seems to be underpinned by research rather than dogma etc #ASEChat

@ViciaScience @Duckie043 thanks for this #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 4 @ 3:36 PM EDT

Some classroom based research I would value - what impact have changes to practical work had on schools and pupils? #ASEChat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 4 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@ViciaScience can you apply that to the state of science education in particular? #asechat

doc_kristy Jul 4 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 that it is reactive not proactive, government decides some change needs to happen and everyone reacts #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 4 @ 3:37 PM EDT

@NgeeOg @NeedhamL56 Habitat survey - great topic for pupil research - behind TV would be my choice! #ASEChat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 4 @ 3:37 PM EDT

dave2004b Jul 4 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @NeedhamL56 The @RoySocChem work on the 'ideal' Chem curric in the future should help towards this in the medium term? #asechat

@A_Weatherall do you have a link to his session/ presentation, I would like to see it. (sorry we couldn’t attend) #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 4 @ 3:39 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @NeedhamL56 So lets do something 'radical' and assess effect - e.g. stop teaching BPC GCSE, and all do combined #ASEChat

Newmanphysics Jul 4 @ 3:40 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @A_Weatherall @sixtysymbols #asechat Yes they won, Kelvin Medal and Prize from the IOP. My students are always discussing them

ViciaScience Jul 4 @ 3:40 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall Can you describe his views in 140? #ASEChat

doc_kristy Jul 4 @ 3:40 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @NeedhamL56 this is where we disagree, I'm a chemistry teacher, not a sci teacher I'm afraid, from y7 to undergrads #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 4 @ 3:41 PM EDT

It seems sensible to base science curriculum on the Big ideas https://t.co/L1ow6j1uFL Our curriculum has no coherence driving it #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 4 @ 3:41 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @NeedhamL56 so at what point is it essential that the label 'chemistry' is applied in a child's education #ASEChat

dave2004b Jul 4 @ 3:42 PM EDT

#asechat I think IoP and RSB are doing similar - are #theASE involved in this movement? https://t.co/oUNOrXWvwB

doc_kristy Jul 4 @ 3:39 PM EDT

@dave2004b @NeedhamL56 @RoySocChem yes it will as I was discussing with @MarcNeesam recently, being prepared for future changes

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 4 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@ViciaScience there's difference between research-informed classroom and evidence-based practice. Both important. #asechat

doc_kristy Jul 4 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @NeedhamL56 in my experience y8/9 is best, Y7 has lot of generic skills and overlap. Once we're into atomic structure #asechat

doc_kristy Jul 4 @ 3:44 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @NeedhamL56 but as chemists we constantly reference the laws of physics for example so separate but together #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 4 @ 3:45 PM EDT

@dave2004b @TheASE is concerned with Science Education, @doc_kristy only interested in chemistry, doesn’t it all have to be linked? #asechat

doc_kristy Jul 4 @ 3:46 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @dave2004b @theASE I have taught other sciences you know, I'm not a Brexit science equivalent #asechat

stevethedoc1 Jul 4 @ 3:46 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @ViciaScience @NeedhamL56 was anxious is it physics atomic structure, biological or chemical? #ASEchat

doc_kristy Jul 4 @ 3:47 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @dave2004b @theASE it's possible to teach BCP separately and well with good cross-curricular links of skills/concepts #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 4 @ 3:47 PM EDT

Why? Helps to compartmentalise learning so miss big picture? For all children? #ASEChat https://t.co/xpfBBCTj9N

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 4 @ 3:48 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @dave2004b #asechat takes a skilled practitioner (B,P,C) to help students make links, they don’t do this on their own #science

doc_kristy Jul 4 @ 3:48 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @NeedhamL56 it is right for the boys I teach, not necessarily for every setting, in prev school only top 3 sets BCP #asechat

doc_kristy Jul 4 @ 3:49 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @dave2004b which is why we need skilled practitioners, quality CPD including in subject knowledge #asechat

doc_kristy Jul 4 @ 3:52 PM EDT

@dave2004b @NeedhamL56 indeed, very hard, so much CPD is now linked to school/MAT aims, little room for individual growth #asechat
