OK - if you can join us, we're discussing what @JustineGreening and co need to do to improve science education in schools... #asechat

Here goes my first experience with twitter chat! #edms7030 #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:02 PM EDT

Or, if you think they should just leave us alone for a while we can share our best ideas for class displays #asechat https://t.co/zjX1SynJhn

@A_Weatherall @JustineGreening leave us alone to sort the current chaos? #asechat

doc_kristy Jul 18 @ 3:03 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall @JustineGreening quite honestly, just leave us alone, less meddling would be very welcome #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 18 @ 3:05 PM EDT

Been discussing teaching of stats in science today #ASEChat Not sure will improve without intervention

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:05 PM EDT

Plenty money so class sizes can be closer to 25 than 36 and schools can afford class sets of basics like thermometers. #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:05 PM EDT

I asked @NickGibbMP to sort this again yesterday. Mistakes like these are so frustrating. @JustineGreening https://t.co/citcHBx8NH #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:06 PM EDT

@ViciaScience go on?.... #asechat

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:07 PM EDT

I would like @JustineGreening to read the @royalsociety vision as a place to start https://t.co/L25Dk3G5VB #asechat

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:08 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall @NickGibbMP @JustineGreening really good point, ironing out the mistakes in the national curriculum would be good. #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 18 @ 3:08 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall currently using archaic methods, and poorly understood #ASEChat

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:10 PM EDT

.@JustineGreening absolutely needs to get on top of possible issues with grading of 1-9 GCSEs and keep an eye on @ofqual #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 18 @ 3:10 PM EDT

I notice Justine Greening opened the Updated Kings Cross. My train is late home #ASEChat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:10 PM EDT

An investigation into what’s happened with primary science the 3rd core subject. HMCI says https://t.co/WonrfhSQnm #asechat @JustineGreening

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:11 PM EDT

Those grade descriptors were quite something weren't they ?!? #asechat https://t.co/70loV0ZhAJ

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:12 PM EDT

Would also love to see focus on gender balance in schools: hope she reads @PhysicsWorld work in this area. https://t.co/5TXyMaksJ9 #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 18 @ 3:12 PM EDT

What statistical methods should be taught at KS3? (See PoS KS3 WS) #ASEChat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:12 PM EDT

Hi @hrogerson @JustineGreening @ofqual what do you think the issues are going to be? 1-9 #GCSE #asechat

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:13 PM EDT

.@JustineGreening please read https://t.co/5TXyMaksJ9 about gender balance in schools. I was really shocked. #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 18 @ 3:13 PM EDT

Sunny station appearing on horizon. I need to leave #ASEChat Sorry

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:14 PM EDT

Splitter! Tell us more about the archaic stats. That would have been rivetting #asechat https://t.co/lWHvFmJnpw

ViciaScience Jul 18 @ 3:13 PM EDT

Sunny station appearing on horizon. I need to leave #ASEChat Sorry

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:14 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening @ofqual weird stuff like more students with 9-9 than 7-8 because of use of statistics. #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@hrogerson @NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening @ofqual that's been fixed I think because of new formula #asechat

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening @ofqual plus we had BTEC, core and Add and triple, where is 4-4 line drawn? #asechat

ViciaScience Jul 18 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall we assess stats tests that are easy to assess, not those used outside school, and still use look up tables #ASEChat

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall @NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening @ofqual using what statistics? Core/add? BTEC? It's not like for like. #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:16 PM EDT

Should we be teaching Science to students? or be divided up into Bio, Phys and Chem? @JustineGreening do you know the answer? #asechat #TS

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening excellent question! #asechat

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:18 PM EDT

I reckon @JustineGreening will have to see what the impact of ebacc and new GCSEs are on a-level science uptake. #asechat

gregtheseal Jul 18 @ 3:18 PM EDT

#asechat is @JustineGreening going to bring back grammar schools and how will it affect science?

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:19 PM EDT

Especially recruitment of teachers to the other schools? #asechat https://t.co/UhozFXSmal

gregtheseal Jul 18 @ 3:18 PM EDT

#asechat is @JustineGreening going to bring back grammar schools and how will it affect science?

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:20 PM EDT

I totally forgot about recruitment of science teachers! #asechat

gregtheseal Jul 18 @ 3:20 PM EDT

@hrogerson @JustineGreening exactly. #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:20 PM EDT

If STEM supply is critical why are primary schools allowed to ‘get away with’ teaching so little science? @JustineGreening #asechat E & M

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:20 PM EDT

Yes, @MichaelT1979 asked about this last month #asechat https://t.co/dy0OvuMMYI

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:20 PM EDT

If STEM supply is critical why are primary schools allowed to ‘get away with’ teaching so little science? @JustineGreening #asechat E & M

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:22 PM EDT

Yes this, in a STEM driven UK. Will schools be judged on Post16 uptake of sciences? #asechat @JustineGreening https://t.co/vgCTXxXS7K

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:18 PM EDT

I reckon @JustineGreening will have to see what the impact of ebacc and new GCSEs are on a-level science uptake. #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:22 PM EDT

Yes, @JustineGreening needs to get @NickGibbMP to rethink his science teacher recruitment plan: not working #asechat https://t.co/PSyAOsJhNx

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:20 PM EDT

I totally forgot about recruitment of science teachers! #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:23 PM EDT

and @JustineGreening is Computer Science really a Science? #progress8 #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:24 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening I speak from experience of teaching both that the answer to that is no #asechat

kassiecrosby13 Jul 18 @ 3:24 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 I didn't even realize that was a big problem. Science should be taught at all, if not most, grade levels. #asechat #edms7030

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:24 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening despite my suggestions to the contrary last summer :) #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:26 PM EDT

@kassiecrosby13 is supposed to be, but read HMCI report https://t.co/WonrfhSQnm to see demise of primary science #asechat @JustineGreening

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:26 PM EDT

@hrogerson @NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening @ofqual #asechat more on this https://t.co/6imq65Vjxd

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:27 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall @JustineGreening Ah! thank you, I remember you bigging it up #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:28 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening #devilsadvocate #asechat Just trying to justify my change to computer science in new role :)

stevethedoc1 Jul 18 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @kassiecrosby13 @JustineGreening #asechat last two schools OfSted in LA explored sci especially WS, when, what and how?

kassiecrosby13 Jul 18 @ 3:30 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening That's crazy to me! Science is so important and involved in other subjects and experiences! #asechat #edms7030

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:32 PM EDT

Any more q's for @JustineGreening about science ed from the chalkface? #asechat or shall we move to which font our displays should use?

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:32 PM EDT

. @JustineGreening what support 4 science teachers to teach science and what help 4 SLT to u/stand demands #asechat https://t.co/bLXkIFrcIM

prof_di_chimica Jul 18 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening being a specialist in one subject is enough - spreading yourself thinly over 3 subjects is hard going

gregtheseal Jul 18 @ 3:33 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall Garamond?#asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:33 PM EDT

@Ofstednews said they would focus on Science in primary so its good to know they are doing just that #asechat & WS! https://t.co/zWK3NEmB5F

I assume we've all seen these really useful statements? We asked, they gave. Utter waste of bytes https://t.co/rzqeJrWRhd #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@kassiecrosby13 @JustineGreening can you use #asechat so that it gets included in the time line? Thanks

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:35 PM EDT

@gregtheseal got anything in a sans-serif? #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:35 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @kassiecrosby13 AARGH apologies, you just did #asechat

CazGerrard Jul 18 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall @gregtheseal Comic Sans - the letter a is much easier to read :) #asechat

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 hopefully @WTeducation will highlight the primary science issue with @JustineGreening https://t.co/nLgx6p5OMl #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:36 PM EDT

And to go with this - a round up on how this is all going to work - aka swimmingly https://t.co/neLpO5G0s3 #asechat

gregtheseal Jul 18 @ 3:37 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall obviously the most popular. #asechat

@NeedhamL56 No worries! I've never been involved in a twitter chat! #asechat #edms7030

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:38 PM EDT

I hope @JustineGreening will be asked and then come and speak at @theASE conference in January? #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:39 PM EDT

@hrogerson @JustineGreening @theASE If I can I will collate our questions into something presentable and email them to her? #asechat

CazGerrard Jul 18 @ 3:39 PM EDT

@hrogerson @A_Weatherall @gregtheseal Ok ... If I promise never to say that again, will you unblock me? *bats eyelashes* #asechat

gregtheseal Jul 18 @ 3:40 PM EDT

@hrogerson @JustineGreening @theASE or at the asewest cont in November. #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:40 PM EDT

How long do you think she’ll be in post? Should we try and book @JustineGreening for Liverpool? 2018 #asechat https://t.co/Pbi0jsLTcP

@JustineGreening You'll find #asechat and @thease are very keen to discuss and debate education policy; do engage - we're kind but rigorous.

zbukhari197 Jul 18 @ 3:41 PM EDT

I was shocked as a governer at a primary school that science was not even apart of the curriculum. #asechat https://t.co/l4ZeDmmi3r

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:10 PM EDT

An investigation into what’s happened with primary science the 3rd core subject. HMCI says https://t.co/WonrfhSQnm #asechat @JustineGreening

@CazGerrard @hrogerson @gregtheseal Comic Sans indeed... honestly! #asechat

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:42 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening @theASE do you know anyone who might be able to influence that 😉 #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:42 PM EDT

We understand need to get students switched on and keep them interested in science #asechat @theASE @JustineGreening https://t.co/D5UP0cNHth

@zbukhari197 #asechat It *is* part of the curriculum. But if academy don't need to follow the national curriculum

hrogerson Jul 18 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@zbukhari197 @NeedhamL56 @JustineGreening shocking! When done well primary science is fantastic. #asechat

@A_Weatherall @zbukhari197 #asechat if not on curric in school/academy what TA do they hand in for accountability measure, how accurate?

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:46 PM EDT

@zbukhari197 they need to change that opinion pronto before they're visited by the dreaded O. And because they're wrong. #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:46 PM EDT

@stevethedoc1 @zbukhari197 that was precisely @MichaelT1979's question last month #asechat - turns out most guess.

gregtheseal Jul 18 @ 3:46 PM EDT

@CazGerrard @davowillz @A_Weatherall it was a close call. #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 18 @ 3:47 PM EDT

gregtheseal Jul 18 @ 3:49 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall @zbukhari197 since you brought up "o" what will @JustineGreening do with them and with @amanda_spielman #asechat

stevethedoc1 Jul 18 @ 3:49 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall #asechat go on how do we make sci visible to text of school, community and others?
