and then there’s Y7 all bright eyed and new pencil cases. What’s their first experience of science? will it be all dull lab rules? #asechat

gregtheseal Sep 5 @ 3:00 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 it's just more of the same. Picking up where you left off. #asechat

Mr_Misquitta Sep 5 @ 3:01 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 I am planning to do a lesson on revision strategies for Y11 and how to be #resilient during this crucial year #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:02 PM EDT

.@gregtheseal any new resolutions? How can the science lesson stand out from the crowd, all telling them its just got serious? #asechat

PhysicsEducator Sep 5 @ 3:03 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 Straight in with the bunsen burner licence for us. Keep 'em keen. #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:03 PM EDT

Hi @Mr_Misquitta welcome! will you do lots of strategies all at once or drip feed them in? #asechat what’s your tip on resilience?

gregtheseal Sep 5 @ 3:05 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 only to teach better lessons and space the learning, set more/less homework and tell more jokes. #asechat

stormeducation Sep 5 @ 3:06 PM EDT

Great to have #asechat back again!

PhysicsEducator Sep 5 @ 3:07 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 set it up, light it safely, put away safely, draw a diagram. Then link to H&S in lab. Get a printed off licence to keep #asechat

Mr_Misquitta Sep 5 @ 3:07 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 For resilience, I am planning to looking at using strategies from the book The Resilience Factor #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:07 PM EDT

Ha ha! looking forward to the last one! #asechat https://t.co/IGNo4NBuHL

How do people overcome those who are scared of #Bunsen #asechat? I send homework to practice at home with candle

Mr_Misquitta Sep 5 @ 3:11 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 Will make a good bedtime read :) #asechat

teacherchalky1 Sep 5 @ 3:13 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 it's not that different from most of the rest, it's just about convincing them to do it in short daily bits #asechat

ljrn42 Sep 5 @ 3:13 PM EDT

@gregtheseal @PhysicsEducator @NeedhamL56 with us y7 so excited to do proper sci after y6 ignored it #asechat

@ljrn42 #BBCnews showed clip of new Francis Crick labs - not a Bunsen in sight - use effectively camping gas stove for sterilising #ASEChat

PhysicsEducator Sep 5 @ 3:14 PM EDT

@gregtheseal @NeedhamL56 we teach a practical skills unit at the beginning of yrs 7.8.9. Gives us plenty of oppsto use them. #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:15 PM EDT

Hi @ljrn42 discussing @ViciaScience the other day if we really needed BBs. would make a massive diff to lab design,and behaviour #asechat

Mr_Misquitta Sep 5 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@teacherchalky1 @NeedhamL56 Agree and having a plan for the week(s) and not forgetting to revisit topics #asechat

anhalf Sep 5 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 #asechat just popping in...keep them curious, hands on and group work... Make time for practicals,nce stations and research

ViciaScience Sep 5 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@PhysicsEducator @gregtheseal @NeedhamL56 Will you now be thinking of starting with a maths unit too? #ASEChat

gregtheseal Sep 5 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @ljrn42 @ViciaScience probably cheaper in the long run to use portable ones too #asechat

anhalf Sep 5 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 #asechat meant investigations 😉

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@teacherchalky1 prevarication often gets in the way (Like for all of us) how do you support them to practice? #asechat

teacherchalky1 Sep 5 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @gregtheseal There's usually a way to spice up most things #asechat

ljrn42 Sep 5 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @ViciaScience but how 2 do eg flame tests. Otherwise agree #asechat

gregtheseal Sep 5 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @PhysicsEducator @NeedhamL56 no , but maths is further to the front of my planning #asechat

ViciaScience Sep 5 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@PhysicsEducator @gregtheseal @NeedhamL56 How do you teach your Y7 classes to work together, and in groups, when they first arrive? #ASEChat

MsSuperScience Sep 5 @ 3:17 PM EDT

New school so starting with a simple practical to assess their skills, behaviour, independence etc. before moving on #asechat

SteveTeachPhys Sep 5 @ 3:18 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 we give Y7 lots of 30cm rulers & get em to measure the width of the lab. All that crawling about...! #asechat

teacherchalky1 Sep 5 @ 3:18 PM EDT

@Mr_Misquitta @NeedhamL56 I've set up task sheets for them to work through and success walls for them to use #asechat

gregtheseal Sep 5 @ 3:18 PM EDT

@SteveTeachPhys @NeedhamL56 great idea! #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:18 PM EDT

Ooo they sound like something to share, have you got an example? #asechat https://t.co/kRVoPuj71P

Mr_Misquitta Sep 5 @ 3:24 PM EDT

@teacherchalky1 @NeedhamL56 That's great. I will try to replicate that and will share some pictures once done :) #asechat

ljrn42 Sep 5 @ 3:24 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @MsSuperScience yes similar situation with minimal pupils I taught last year (10 ish). So just like a fresh start #asechat

@damianainscough all teachers of science can join in, everyones got a new class #asechat new Y1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

ViciaScience Sep 5 @ 3:27 PM EDT

@anhalf @NeedhamL56 @RoyalSocBio I would like to hear more! Is there a possible Primary Science/ EiS/ SSR article in this? #ASEChat

teacherchalky1 Sep 5 @ 3:27 PM EDT

@Mr_Misquitta @NeedhamL56 It's just a working progress but it worked really well with end of year revision last year #asechat

damianainscough Sep 5 @ 3:27 PM EDT

. @NeedhamL56 Straight into a topic - lab rules as required; 'skills' when needed. Good short'n'sweet assessment items for form us #asechat

ViciaScience Sep 5 @ 3:28 PM EDT

@Newmanphysics @PhysicsEducator @NeedhamL56 Don't tell me! 'The paper IoP bag bursts into flames?' #ASEChat

teacherchalky1 Sep 5 @ 3:28 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @PhysicsEducator @gregtheseal @NeedhamL56 Lot's of opportunities for presentations which builds confidence #asechat

damianainscough Sep 5 @ 3:29 PM EDT

#asechat Important to try to speak with EVERY child so that they feel included. Big name cards needed.

Mr_Misquitta Sep 5 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@teacherchalky1 @NeedhamL56 We should arrange something. I will DM #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:31 PM EDT

I want to join in with #asechat but only just got kids to sleep and now I'm pooped.

SteveTeachPhys Sep 5 @ 3:31 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 for me the biggest challenge will be the 12s, separating them from the laddish approach that got them through GCSE #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:31 PM EDT

#asechat Y7 - Build on the excellent work in primary sc - find out what they studied and how they have worked, best bits, wows, what sc is

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:32 PM EDT

doc_kristy Sep 5 @ 3:33 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 this is Y8 (and I teach only chem) helps me to see gaps so I can weave in applications etc #asechat https://t.co/nQBszKppse

damianainscough Sep 5 @ 3:33 PM EDT

#asechat Do you pass on work from year to year? Even a quick glimpse can reveal much.

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:33 PM EDT

Any tips for @SteveTeachPhys with this one? is it a different challenge for those taking science A levels #asechat https://t.co/QRr0vCo3zW

SteveTeachPhys Sep 5 @ 3:31 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 for me the biggest challenge will be the 12s, separating them from the laddish approach that got them through GCSE #asechat

dave2004b Sep 5 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @NeedhamL56 I liked to do the 'draw a scientist' early on to see what their conceptions were-fun with all years! #asechat

doc_kristy Sep 5 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 again Y8 (I haven't got any y7 pics, will take some this week) #asechat also gets them writing in chem https://t.co/L9eXLsHwbk

PhysicsEducator Sep 5 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @gregtheseal @NeedhamL56 they're happy to use Physics examples when covering new topics - incorporate exam qs etc #asechat

doc_kristy Sep 5 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@dave2004b @NeedhamL56 yes that's always a good one too, depressing in some ways though (v homogeneous representations!) #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:35 PM EDT

@doc_kristy yes an interesting insight on lots of levels! #asechat so did you ask them what chemistry was or science?

damianainscough Sep 5 @ 3:35 PM EDT

#asechat Y7 teachers remember the pupils are not 'starting real science' - you don't need a lab to do science - it's a way of thinking

doc_kristy Sep 5 @ 3:35 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 chemistry but have done science when I taught science in the past. #asechat

doc_kristy Sep 5 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 I always like to try and head off the idea that science/chem means you don't have to write, support literacy #asechat

dave2004b Sep 5 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @NeedhamL56 but then interesting to ask about parents-around here lots of hi-tech industry, can use this to break mould #asechat

ljrn42 Sep 5 @ 3:37 PM EDT

@damianainscough totally agree but it's not how our y7 see it #asechat

doc_kristy Sep 5 @ 3:37 PM EDT

@dave2004b @NeedhamL56 not so much up here hence stereotypes #asechat

@NeedhamL56 again Y8 (I haven't got any y7 pics, will take some this week) #asechat also gets them writing in chem https://t.co/L9eXLsHwbk

damianainscough Sep 5 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@ljrn42 Why do you think so? #asechat

anhalf Sep 5 @ 3:39 PM EDT

Perhaps ( don't all shout) not all sec sci needs to be in lab. Still need to write! #asechat https://t.co/qaCA2rpnTF

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:40 PM EDT

@doc_kristy so whats a good start in that first Y11 lesson of the new year? #asechat

ljrn42 Sep 5 @ 3:40 PM EDT

@damianainscough 7s report having done minimal sci at pri y6 IT was all eng and maths. Now they r excited to do cool stuff #asechat

damianainscough Sep 5 @ 3:41 PM EDT

#asechat For any year - Transfer of information; get to know them; good formative use of assessment; engaging, age-appropriate contexts

dave2004b Sep 5 @ 3:41 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @NeedhamL56 Having @ProfBrianCox local must help a little?! #asechat

zbukhari197 Sep 5 @ 3:41 PM EDT

@damianainscough #asechat .. this year we are focusing more on embedding key skills in yr 7 instead of trying to teach all ks3 content. 🖒

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:41 PM EDT

@anhalf we’d never shout! your amongst like minded people here! #asechat. Agree that science lessons don’t always need a lab (affects behvr)

ljrn42 Sep 5 @ 3:42 PM EDT

@damianainscough they say sec Sci is much more diff than sec eng or maths #asechat

doc_kristy Sep 5 @ 3:42 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 give them an electrolysis eqn and get them to mind map all the bits of chemistry that feed into it #asechat

damianainscough Sep 5 @ 3:42 PM EDT

@ljrn42 Ah, yes, the tyranny of testing in 2 of the 3 core subjects. #asechat

teacherchalky1 Sep 5 @ 3:42 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @doc_kristy Just get straight into the content but I've got them to reflect first #asechat https://t.co/SI0LrpPAdg

ViciaScience Sep 5 @ 3:42 PM EDT

@anhalf Would be good to see more secondary science out of labs - restricts types of science undertaken #ASEChat

doc_kristy Sep 5 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@dave2004b @NeedhamL56 @ProfBrianCox he is male, white, middle class.... Reinforces most stereotypes despite the DReam past life! #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Sep 5 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@zbukhari197 @damianainscough Hi Z can you explain what you’ve decided is a key skill? and how do you know if they already have it? #asechat

anhalf Sep 5 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 😉 I try not to whip y6 into expecting whizz bang each lesson in y7 ... But understand logistics of space #asechat

damianainscough Sep 5 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@ljrn42 Are you challenging them more? (good) #asechat

dave2004b Sep 5 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @NeedhamL56 @ProfBrianCox But not so much the lab coat and sticky up hair! #asechat

doc_kristy Sep 5 @ 3:44 PM EDT

@teacherchalky1 @NeedhamL56 I agree get into the content #asechat kids like to settle into the routine as well

dave2004b Sep 5 @ 3:44 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @NeedhamL56 @ProfBrianCox and helps break down the all scientists work in labs? #asechat

ViciaScience Sep 5 @ 3:44 PM EDT

@zbukhari197 @damianainscough Can you recommend ways of assessing which key skills need to be taught in Y7? #ASEChat

damianainscough Sep 5 @ 3:44 PM EDT

@zbukhari197 Are these in the context of B, C, P? #asechat

teacherchalky1 Sep 5 @ 3:45 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @NeedhamL56 Time in year 11 is too short not to #asechat

ViciaScience Sep 5 @ 3:46 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @damianainscough Do we create the impression that science is hard? Sure this is not helpful for most pupils #ASEChat

damianainscough Sep 5 @ 3:46 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @zbukhari197 2 parts to that? - what are they and how might you assess them? #asechat

doc_kristy Sep 5 @ 3:46 PM EDT

#asechat people... What about seating plans? Straight in in 1st lesson or wait until you know them better? I'm a 1st lesson then tweak

zbukhari197 Sep 5 @ 3:46 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 #asechat we have used the aqa ks3 as a guide. From that we have then picked the best practicals to demonstrate these skills...

JonScott46 Sep 5 @ 3:46 PM EDT

teacherchalky1 Sep 5 @ 3:49 PM EDT

@doc_kristy I tell them where to sit but I don't have them sat down at one desk long enough to have seating plans #asechat

damianainscough Sep 5 @ 3:49 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @ljrn42 Or do we actually make it 'hard' because curriculum is often designed in this way? #asechat #toomuchtogetthrough

zbukhari197 Sep 5 @ 3:49 PM EDT

@damianainscough #asechat Yes we have still kept the B , C, P.. i feel its important for pupils to understand the difference between them

ViciaScience Sep 5 @ 3:50 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @damianainscough Yes to challenge, if set at level where majority succeed #ASEChat

ljrn42 Sep 5 @ 3:50 PM EDT

@damianainscough @ViciaScience agree about too much to get through. No opportunity to develop ideas beyond curriculum #asechat

@ViciaScience @damianainscough @ljrn42 don't tell students science is hard. Tell them it's a challenge #asechat

#asechat Battery about dead so off now. Have a great term all. Do let us know if you'd like any science@ocr.org.uk help during the year.

@ViciaScience @damianainscough 3-4 topics a term 2 weeks each doesn't give an awful lot of wriggle room for top Ss #asechat

@ViciaScience @NeedhamL56 #asechat most definitely. I wrote the electricity SOW and every lesson the students r practicing to draw circuit

No consensus tonight of how to get your new classes doing science off to a good start. Sure you can all pick up a tip tho’ #asechat

@ViciaScience @NeedhamL56 #asechat our best step yet is to work alongside the maths dpment and develop skills in sci and maths

Enjoy the new year, and reflect in 4 weeks time… did you set the scene for whats to come effectively with your new science classes? #asechat

@damianainscough @ljrn42 Subject content lays down GCSE content. But we can decide if all students need to be taught same stuff #ASEChat

@NeedhamL56 Thanks for hosting tonight. Practicing multitasking tonight to not much success. #asechat
