My favourite moment of tonight’s @TorquayAcademy #CPD so far... @johnemellitt “you’re right, we almost need a metacognitive checklist for 6 markers” with a general hum of agreement from the excellent science department 😄

So what do we do? Go to work!

Our year 13’s proving Fleming’s Left Hand Rule. The non-magnetic wire suddenly jerks when a current is passed through it. This is caused by the electrons in the wire interacting with the magnet’s field.

Our year 12 physicists recreate the historic Young’s double slit experiment (albeit he didn’t have the same laser capabilities as us).

Our year 13 physicists rose to the challenge of building an apparatus to demonstrate the electromagnetic force on a conducting wire in a magnetic field today. Loving theFlemings Left Hand Rule gang sign at the end.

Fantastic day @pixlscience conference. Great speakers and insights. Reassuring to see we are right up there in terms of how we teach science @TorquayAcademy but some new stones for us to turn too. Thanks Pixl!

Early Christmas presents for our year 13 students. We wrote these topic-zoo question “beast books” for them. 200 pages of exam practice with a timetable. Beastly! Credits to @mgale_devon @broomesci @johnemellitt and our graphic designer (and school principal) @stevemargetts

At this school, the students know exactly when and why teachers will use TLAC techniques. Fascinating work by @stevemargetts and his team.
