S3 circuits with LEDs @SelkirkHS

Turning a slide deck into a Quizizz Lesson isn't terrifying. It's terrific with our Google Slides extension. 🎃 Seamlessly switch between Google Slides and Quizizz. You can even use Quizizz AI to add interactive questions to your lessons in seconds. Now that's scary good. 👻

Had a fantastic time with N5 Physics today using the @magicschoolai debate partner to prepare for a debate on manned space exploration 🚀🌌🗣️ @SelkirkHS

We’re pleased to be recognised as an Apple Distinguished School for 2024–2027 for inspiring, imagining, and impacting teaching and learning school wide through continuous innovation!

Slo-mo of the can crush experiment at @SelkirkHS STEM club this afternoon. Thank you Ada for the video!

A busy teacher: "I would use the Labeling question, but I don't have time to make all the labels." Quizizz AI: "We'll make the labels for you, too." 👍 A busy teacher: "Oh my." Watch this video and see Labeling AI in action. ⬇️

Excited to share that I just earned the Teacher Essentials certificate with Canva Design School! Learn more at @CanvaEdu #Canva #CanvaEdu #CanvaDesignSchool canva.com/designschool/certi…

Physics teachers, I made this to share with seniors (using @CanvaEdu) in the hopes of getting them reading around the subject and feeling inspired. Feel free to use it. I'm sure I've missed loads of great books!

Congratulations to our Physics teacher @MsFarnhamPhys who passed her STEM leadership course with @SSERCSTEM she has been looking at STEM pathways through our cluster and the importance of pictures in Physics practicals

Thanks to the wonderful @ValerieDrew1 for her skills and expertise, guiding our delegates through their professional enquiry. Well done everyone! @SSERCofficial

When you get S1 to make notes about a video without using words 🌎🌱💨 @inspireSBC #sketches

Making mugs in our last Higher Physics lesson and one student have drawn @neiltyson ✨🪐💖

In 1924, the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose wrote a paper on the quantum statistics of light quanta (now called photons), in which he derived Planck's quantum radiation law without any reference to classical physics. He sent his paper to Albert Einstein, who was impressed by his work and translated it from English to German and submitted it to the Zeitschrift für Physik, a prestigious physics journal. Einstein then extended Bose's ideas to matter, and predicted that atoms with even spins (called bosons) would coalesce into a single quantum state at very low temperatures, forming a new state of matter that he called Bose-Einstein condensation. However, for decades, no one was able to create a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a laboratory, because the required temperatures were too low and the interactions between atoms were too strong. It was not until 1995 that Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman of JILA, a joint institute of the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), achieved the first atomic BEC using rubidium atoms. They cooled the atoms to 1.7 × 10⁻⁷ K above absolute zero, which is about -273.15 °C or -459.67 °F. Later that year, Wolfgang Ketterle of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) produced a BEC using sodium atoms. He also demonstrated that BECs could exhibit superfluidity, which is a phenomenon where fluids flow without friction or viscosity. In 2001, Cornell, Wieman and Ketterle shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for their achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases of alkali atoms, and for their early fundamental studies of the properties of the condensates. Since then, research on BECs has expanded the understanding of quantum physics and has led to the discovery of new physical effects, such as vortices, solitons, quantum interference, atom lasers, and quasiparticle condensates.

I got the most fabulous news to end term… ready? I am a @quizizz UK School Champion!!! Super excited to work even more with @MsFarnhamPhys promoting this awesome tool to everyone @SelkirkHS & beyond in @SBCEducation1 Join the community facebook.com/groups/quizizzu… #QuizizzChampion

Over the moon 🌚 to be a @Quizizz UK School Champion for @SelkirkHS I'm in great company with @MissNDouglas 🎉

Accommodations for students are now part of @quizizz and they're incredible! 💜 #edtech #teachertwitter #edchat #teachersoftwitter #teachers #youcanwithquizizz #quizizz #udl #differentiation

The first scientific explanation of the formation of a black hole was given by J. Robert Oppenheimer and Hartland Snyder in 1939 in their paper ‘On continued gravitational contraction.' The term ‘Black hole’ was not coined yet but they described the process by which a star with significant mass collapses into a singularity. Their paper was published alongside Bohr and Wheeler’s fission paper. The paper was first ignored in the scientific community as the concept of black holes was a new idea that many didn’t pay attention to. It wasn’t until the 1960s that the term Black hole became the talk of the town. The paper used Einstein’s field equations, which describe how matter and energy affect the geometry of space and time, to derive an exact solution for the collapse of a spherical star. They made two simplifying assumptions: (1) the star is non-rotating and has no electric charge, and (2) the pressure inside the star can be neglected. The latter assumption is valid for very cold and dense matter, such as neutron stars or black holes. The paper also discussed the physical implications of their solution, such as the redshift of light emitted from the collapsing star, the time dilation experienced by an observer inside the star compared to an observer outside, and the asymptotic nature of the collapse. They concluded that "the star thus tends to close itself off from any communication with a distant observer; only its gravitational field persists."

"Wait, I can embed my Quizizz creations into my @wakelet collection? Let me organize my thoughts!" 🤯 Go on now. Enjoy this collab with our pals from Wakelet. 🤝

Who's excited to give this new feature a try?

Great PL session with a group of staff after school looking at tools in @quizizz and @Socrative (linked to @Showbie) … not the most flattering picture of @MsFarnhamPhys doing the intro though sorry 😂
