There are a lot of things going on at the moment in the Scottish curriculum and it's tricky to keep your eye on the ball. I've certainly found it hard to keep up, so I thought I'd try and write down what's what with the new courses, curricular models, progression models, how CfE fits with the Nationals, the new Higher and Advanced Higher courses, and so on.
The result is now available for everyone to access at http://sptr.net/w. It is a work in progress, but comments, as always, are welcome.

Google has munged our nice bookmarks list, so it doesn't work any more. Pixies have been working late transferring the nice bookmarks over to a new site where we can organise and share them fairly easily. It may be that some schools and local authorities have filtering which blocks access: we'd be interested in hearing how your requests to have it unblocked turn out. We have put one into Fife this afternoon.
UPDATE: The Diigo bookmark thing didn't work very well, so we've ditched it. It still works, but is not likely to be kept up to date. What we've done this afternoon is to make a new page on the sptr wiki that's currently in development, which is easier to update and simpler to use. The links on this page have been updated, so you can...
Click the link on the left to find the new list, or click here. Or scan this on your brick:

There are new resources in the CfE folder for activities relating to the electromagnetic spectrum. SSERC have been especially helpful with a document describing 30 experiments you can do, which includes some great background reading for you to provide rich context to this fascinating area of physics. There are guides on adapting a webcam and examples of what others have been producing for this topic.
Thanks as always to the contributors! |
