CPD session details
Energy in the new physics GCSE: Brendan Ickringill (Bolton School Girls’ Division and IoP)
A session to support the teaching of energy in the new GCSE (and consequently KS3).
Keywords - Core - science - physics - KS3 - GCSE - subject knowledge - curriculum change
Christmas Chemistry: Kristy Turner (Bolton School Boys’ Division and University of Manchester)
A practical session of Christmas themed chemistry experiments that can be done in school or at home including ‘A christmas mix up’ (analytical puzzle team challenge), Christmas dinner indicators, poinsettia indicator paper and electroplated Christmas decorations.
Keywords - Core – enrichment - science - chemistry - KS3 – GCSE – outreach – engagement
Chemistry practicals for the new GCSE PAG: Dave Paterson (OCR)
A practical session showcasing OCR’s chemistry experiments which fit the PAG requirements and can be used with students following any exam board.
Keywords - Core - science - chemistry - KS3 - GCSE - subject knowledge - curriculum change
All about eyes Julie Hartley (Technician - Bolton School Boys’ Division) and (Sara Morgan - Optometrist, University of Manchester)
A hands-on session all about eyes! Covering some biology including eye dissection together with optical physics and how glasses and contact lenses work.
Keywords – core – enrichment – science – biology – chemistry – KS3 – GCSE – applied science – work related learning
Web based resources to support chemistry teaching (Katayune Presland, Royal Society of Chemistry, Will Stockburn, University of Central Lancashire)
A session showcasing the various web based resources available to teachers from the RSC and on YouTube
Keywords – core – enrichment – science – chemistry – KS3 – GCSE – resources
Isaac project: Mark Ormerod (Bolton School Boys’ Division)
A session showcasing the Isaac Physics project from the University of Cambridge and its practical use in the classroom. IsaacPhysics is a low cost book and associated MOOC which aims to improve mastery in pre-university physics and get students using problem solving approaches. IsaacChemistry is currently in development and is likely to have a similar look to physics so this session is also relevant to teachers of chemistry.

Keywords – core – science – physics – chemistry – A-level – resources – web based learning
iPads for science (Nic Ford, Apple Distinguished Educator, Bolton School Boys Division)
A session showcasing a variety of general and subject specific iPad and Android apps for use in science classrooms.
Keywords: - resources – web based learning – science – core – engagement - enrichment
We will be joined for tea by RSC STEM ambassadors based in the NW, providing an excellent opportunity for you to find a guest speaker to come to school or find out more about local industry links. There will also be a networking social with the STEM ambassadors immediately following the TeachMeet which you are very welcome to stay at.
