My map of children's independent bookshops is updated regularly. Most provide an online service and they're all run by people who can make well-informed book recommendations. Make sure you support your local one if you want to keep it. Any missing, please let me know. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

This is a must starter pack for all science teachers on here!

Thanks @chatbiology.bsky.social

Here we go: as I haven't seen one yet, I'm going to put together a starter pack for SEND people. Primarily SENDCOs (and ALNCOs for the welsh) but also consultants and leaders.
Hit me up please and I'll turn into a pack when there's a few. Rt to the SEND massive.

I’d love to add more people but in the mean time here is the UK Physics Teacher starter pack.

***THE SCIENCE DOCTOR KS3 SCIENCE WORKBOOK***

The final version of the science workbook is out now - three years worth of work.

This contains a new "practical science" chapter - the type of stuff you start year 7 with.

It's a big book - 304 pages!
