I’m a science teacher in the UK, East or West Midlands depending on who you ask. I blog discreetly – rather than secretly – because it gives me the freedom to say what I want without it affecting my classroom role.

I’m also a husband, a father, a geek*, a reader, a writer, a climber, a walker and lots more besides. Just like a real person, in fact. (Don’t tell the students!)

I use this blog to collect together and share my ideas about teaching in general, and science education in particular. I’m also passionate about problems with science commnication, especially bad science, in the media. Some posts are about ideas, some include the resources I’ve produced; I probably average about six a month. Please feel free to pinch anything that interests you and use it how you like – as long as you don’t sell it. I’m gradually adding Creative Commons Licences to the resources but in general, like everything else on the web, it’s here to be used. The only payment I would appreciate is a comment on how it worked for you.

In fact I’d really appreciate any and all feedback you have. I’d love for you to comment on the relevant posts or pages, but you could also email me at teachingofscience@hotmail.co.uk or reach me on Twitter where I’m @teachingofsci.

*I’m a geek, not a nerd. A geek wonders what sex in space would be like. A nerd wonders what sex would be like.
