We're unveiling the first cohort of #VernierTrendsetters! Congratulations, Robert Beal, Paula Downie, Cecelia Gilliam, EdD, Crystal McDowell, Eric Robinson, Petra van't Slot, Diane Vrobel, Eric Walters, @PNWPhysics, and Charlotte Whiteside! prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
In our physics unit on Fluids we’re addressing what variables affect Pressure. Today looking at force and surface area using @VernierST force plate, balloon, and nails covering various surface area. #iteachphysics
Began our fluids unit with a video of a soda can getting crushed as it sunk into a lake. Students white boarded q’s, variables, and designed this lab themselves using @VernierST gas pressure sensor. Group consensus was formed during board meeting #modphys #iteachphysics
Continuing waves and astronomy, using spectroscopes, flame test, & spectral tubes to teach how we know what stars are made of. Made for gen Ed physical science, here’s a simple note guide for the activity: docs.google.com/document/d/1kv… #iteachphysics
Wrapped up an excellent intro to modeling course led by @SecaurPhysics @emmaphys Great community and pedagogy. Some in cohort built new resources, some converted existing materials into modeling. Designed a fluids unit as my final project docs.google.com/presentation/d… #iteachphysics
Used 2 of @cossettej activities to help intro our waves and astronomy unit. Ss use whiteboards to record observations and Qs. Chalk markers to determine groups of stars. Use thermal putty and microwave to help measure speed of light and distance of stars #modphys #iteachphysics
Wrapping up a unit on Forces and Collisions with Physical Science. Ss will develop a CER determining what is safer: forward vs Rear facing car seats using Newtons laws to explain and @VernierST acceleration sensor to collect data #iteachphysics docs.google.com/document/d/1w_…
Inspired by @msruggerio to start a local physics/physical science teacher meet up. Plan is to literally just cold call(email) local schools, but if anyone knows #iteachphysics teachers in the south sound area (Tacoma-ish) please let them know! @AAPTHQ @WstaSci
Ss: when will we ever use balanced forces in real life Me: *patching up the 3rd squirrel hole into our attic above the 2nd floor* Find the forces acting on your teacher on the ladder to figure out if he’ll be back in school after the holiday #iteachphysics

77 Followers 74 Following I am a Community Schools Teacher in Jurupa Valley, Ca. I love what I do and look forward to constantly learning and growing.Any recs for a good book for a 4yo boy who loves maps? My son is obsessed with when they put maps of the place in the front of books (I mean aren’t we all???) and I want to get him a book that’s like…all maps? Does this exist?
I worry quite a bit about what % of school for students right now is basically independent work staring at a computer screen—often with headphones on, too.
Have you ever seen anything as cool as the walls at @gems_khail (cc @EfratFurst @olicav)
I always enjoyed showing addition by color with my RGB floodlights. The colored shadows help students understand how complementary colors are formed. But how did I make these colored shadows of primary colors?
1. Home Depot Shower Board 2. Anything from @VernierST (motion detectors if you made me pick one) #iteachphysics
Top two transformative technologies that have changed my classroom for the better: 1. deltamath 2. Standing whiteboards with randomized groups You?
Anyone on #ITeachPhysics remember where I might've taken this gif from?
I made a custom "Connections" game to help students familiarize themselves with common synonyms like slope and gradient ahead of this week's IB Physics exam. I figured since they are playing this game during my class anyway... 😎 Try it out here!! connections.swellgarfo.com/game/-Nw4x2Njx…
The color of a star is a function of its surface temperature
The best keyboard money can buy: Logitech MX Keys. I bought mine more than 2.5 years ago. In that time, I've tried a dozen other keyboards, but nothing comes close. Apple's keyboards are too flat and mechanical keyboards have too much travel. This one is perfect.
Yay for this explanation of the 'angular momentum' of a particle in straight line, thanks to the fab @MrJoeMilliano ! (and thanks to @hosey_dan for finding it!)
How does a point particle moving in a straight line have *angular* momentum? If you're standing on the sidewalk, you have to turn your head to watch a car drive by, even if the road the car is on is a line! #iteachphysics desmos.com/calculator/tyq…
The best new thing I've done this year is teach my freshmen to organize their force problems using this table. It has really helped *all* students become expert-level problem solvers and get past, "I don't know how to start!" #iteachphysics drive.google.com/file/d/1RneiHk…
@CMooreAnderson It is lovely!! I think about your approach often, and am REALLY looking forward to someone taking it into physics. If I start radioactivity like this, how would it look? I would be really curious!
SoL is nuanced and layered... the reflection piece is critical. More fab stuff from @C_Hendrick's brilliant keynote #researchEdG
It was dramatic as the eclipsed Sun suddenly appeared at the start of totality despite the cloud that we thought was blocking it. The clouds literally parted right on cue! Intermittent thin clouds prevented me taking long exposures, this 1/125 s shows the most corona.
Variations on the same idea
I really like these kinds of Qs ("Case Studies") for quick formative assessment, isolating one change at a time. If the block is stationary in each case, in which case is the magnitude of the friction force greater (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) same (D) indeterminate (m2 > m btw)
The coolest lab of the year. We add 250mL water + 250mL ethanol and get less than 500mL of solution. Student "...so if we were to separate them out again, would we have our original 250mL of each?" AWESOME question.
So fun life update: I'm moving to Seattle! That means my job (at what is truly a dream school) is open. Apply to work in @ClaytonSchools! Perks and salary schedule are listed below. #iteachphysics #modphys Application: clayton.tedk12.com/hire/ViewJob.a…
