The formula ΔQ=mcΔθ tells a story. It describes the relationship between temperature and thermal energy in an elegant, succinct and…

This is the stuff of every teacher training course: “The most important single factor influencing learning is what the learner…

I wanted to give an example of how visualisations can be used to help learners get a deeper understanding of…

I have written a fair amount on visual representations of abstract physical quantities such as energy, power, current and momentum.…

In my previous post (here), I linked the Learning Scientists strategies to choosing science texts for class. In this post…

Choosing a text to use in science lessons can be tricky. If it is too hard, your students won’t learn…

Quick blog. Physics quantities are horribly (wonderfully) abstract: energy, forces, momentum…. If you could visualise them, they’d be easier to…

Being a good reader correlates with good performance in science. Well, it would wouldn’t it? Reading scores correlate well with…

One of my joys at the ASE conference is meeting up with Japanese science teachers. I admire their work tremendously…
