Our pupils want to know what this is, in terms of a molecule. Any ideas for a name?

My 5 year old daughter brought home a model she made today. Very topical me thinks!!!!!

In bed, feeling worn out by a rubbish cold has given me time to read this again, closely, with time to ponder. Packed with thought provoking stuff. If you haven't read it, you really should!

Less than 8 minutes run from my school gates! Great running landscape!!

Healthy DIY pot noodle for lunch tomorrow. Just add boiling water and wait for 10 minutes!! Yum!! #teacher5aday

Girls busy dancing, Dad busy getting immersed in this. Great read, got me thinking again about questioning strategies in science. Questions to make pupils curious!

How times have changed!! Note the extra train for cinema-goers on Wednesdays and Saturdays!!

Me: is that an oxygen molecule? Pupil: no, it's a house. Only chemistry teachers know the joy of working with Molymods #iveseenalltheanimalsthatcanbemadewithmolymods

Tonight's reading arrived today! Glass of wine, log burner roaring. Perfect!

Crikey, our butene has toughened up a bit!!!

Feeling a lot of chapter 3 today!! @DTWillingham

Superb weekend reading. Highly recommended, especially if you are using the Six Strategies of Effective Learning with your students.

Q2. 2 asks what happens when chlorine reacts with sodium. Am I missing something here??? Surely this answer doesn't explain why the bond forms?

Year 8 trialling our new assessment format today. Big thumbs up from them!!! @eggarscommunity @eggars

We know how to spend our lunchtime!!!! #teacher5aday

Humm, problems with the solvent front!!

Are the colourings on M&M's and Skittles from the same source??? Chromatography of sweets @RoySocChem Y11 AQA Chemical analysis topic

A real privilege to share some ideas about being brave and really thinking about the Science curriculum. Less really is more! #Pedagoohampshire18
