I think unless you are a teacher,married to one or a parent of one no one understands the hard work and dedication given by the majority of teachers. It isn’t a 9-4 job that some people love to tell me it is.We will still be painted with the same brush.CAO was the same for us all

Tried something different with my 2nd year science class this week. Gave them title and apparatus for an experiment. Told them to design the experiment using their knowledge from the nature of science also🥼🧪 A good way to get their brains engaged before the CBA 1 🤔🧑🏼🔬

I gave my first years the task of designing their own food pyramid with foods in their kitchen🍎🥦🍓I absolutely LOVED this students efforts! They can be so innovative and creative with some of the assignments! 😁

Fixing up my Biology notes for my senior cycle classes next year. ☺️ Can be time consuming but thoroughly enjoyed updating them and adding in the learning outcomes to give some direction to students.I’m also obsessed with designing poster fronts on

That’s your opinion. We don’t all moan about it. I understand it’s very difficult for everyone. People can moan about their own jobs, I do from time to time but I don’t attack other professions as I have no experience in any other field.
New Junior Cycle Science allows for more fun activities and ensures the pupils take a more hands on approach! Bliain 3 inniú ag cruthú DNA. Bhí orthu dathanna a cuir ar Na bunanna agus Na péire a cuir le chéile.

Study timetables are so important for pupils to have! It’s the only way you can guarantee you’ve every topic covered!👩🏼💻👩🏼🏫I made one for my 3rd year Science and one for my 6th year Biology 😃 May or may not be helpful to other teachers 🧬🧫💡📝🙇🏼♂️🙇🏼♀️
Put together these discovered learning packs for my 1st years as part of a dissertation I’m doing. ☺️ guess what chapter we are doing? The answer lies in the contents of the box. They were able to guess solids, liquids & gases very quickly☺️😁 they also went on to describe them.
Protein synthesis is a tough concept to grasp. I try to break it down as much as possible, I relate the mRNA to a USB stick and the nucleus to a computer, the rRNA a USB port and the ribosome another computer. 🤪🧬 So you place your USB (mRNA) into your laptop (nucleus)
Set up stations for my 5th years when doing the test for anions🧪
Very effective for both learning & timing as it is a relatively big class😁⏰

to be able to contact the students in this current lockdown. This feature enables teachers to assign work and correct it. 😁 it is vital to maintain contact with pupils and assign work.

Such a handy way of correcting. Get the students to take a photo of their h/w and insert it to a word document, hand it in, in the teams assignment. I use the Apple Pencil to correct and write and feedback! Great to keep a record of dated work online.
