I wanted to tweet out a thread for parents suddenly #homeschooling their kids with some of the amazing #science content that I’ve come across. If you have any other suggestions feel free to recommend them! Here we go… #homeschool #Homeschooling2020 #HomeschoolingUK
. @maddiemoate and @gregfoot are doing a daily live show for younger children. Every day at 11 AM, and all the episodes so far are here: https://letsgolive.show
. @Frans_facts and the amazing team at @Ri_Science (of Christmas Lectures fame!) will be doing ExpeRimental live every Thursday at 2 PM https://twitter.com/Frans_facts/status/1245270270363021312
For all you Scots out there (I’m sure non-Scots are welcome too!), Glasgow Science Centre @gsc1 are doing #GSCAtHome, ten minutes of science at 10 AM every day on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
Want to learn physics through the medium of games? Activities using dice, @LEGO_Group or paper are available from @martinarcher @PhysicsatQM https://www.qmul.ac.uk/spa/outreach/in-school/teacher-resources/
. @martinarcher and @PhysicsatQM also run secondary/sixth-form physics research projects with all resources at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/spa/researchinschools
. @PhysicsNews has developed a set of early years activities designed to be easy to do with household items, explained by their resident cat and mouse, Marvin and Milo http://www.physics.org/marvinandmilo.asp
. @SEPhysics’s workshops for Year 7 upwards are free to access at http://www.sepnet.ac.uk/outreach/schools/connect-physics/
Chat with Jo, an actual real-life planetary scientist! https://twitter.com/DrJoVian/status/1245349974017261568
Or, if you don’t want to chat with Jo (and why not?!) other astronomers are available https://twitter.com/DrJoVian/status/1245350175775875072
Lots of physics/astronomy stuff out there! En anglais ou en français: https://twitter.com/emilydeibert/status/1245351007070142465
And more for the multilingual among us, this time in Polish! https://twitter.com/JMBagniewska/status/1245357067201888258
And @ScienceMagician has you covered for (no prizes for guessing) science magic! Sign up for science tricks with accompanying videos and PDFs to print out: https://www.subscribepage.com/q4b2d1
Here’s a suggestion for those of you who are awake while I’m asleep! https://twitter.com/suziesheehy/status/1245372085704114182
. @martyjopson is looking at all manner of very small things using his microscopes! #microminute is live at 12:30 on Mon, Wed and Fri. Website coming soon, but for now it’s on his Twitter, rather like this: https://twitter.com/martyjopson/status/1245312384106823680
The @cosmicshambles team are doing a daily #shamblesstayathomefest which includes science Q&As which are kid-friendly, and will be doing their first children’s show this weekend! https://twitter.com/cosmicshambles/status/1245378750193205248
Want a bit of adventure with your science? @huwmjames and the @anturus team have FIFTY HOURS of outdoorsy science experiments at http://www.anturus.org/experiment/ with more #homeschooling-specific stuff on the way!
Do you like music and jokes? @jonnyberliner can do both at the same time with a dash of science thrown in! https://twitter.com/jonnyberliner/status/1245386186971119616
Another one! @mrbarnestc (where Mr Barnes, a chemistry teacher, tc—can you guess?—teaches chemistry!) A website of resources for GCSE chemistry students: https://www.mrbarnestc.com/
An online museum which looks worth a visit https://twitter.com/GEMYH1/status/1245432994812366849
I am glad @SincyScience put a comma where he did in this sentence! Check out his YT and Twitter for some things to try at home, and some things to DEFINITELY NOT TRY AT HOME :) https://twitter.com/SincyScience/status/1244897219460775936
