Need an atomic emission spectrum situation. Anyone have opinions on the old classic vs new fancy emissions tubes and power supply? #iteachphysics

OK, allayall need to read this. Doesn't matter if you are a parent, have a parent, know a parent, are a human, know some humans, or ever for any reason need to solve a problem with another human. Gonna to read it again & take some notes to make a cheat sheet for the classroom.

My kiddos get so mad when I give them different supplies than exactly what I used to make a rough example. You gotta come up with your own ideas! You can see how the concept works from mine, then you gotta do something interesting with it! #iteachphysics #iteachscience

An important 🧵 on Israeli apartheid in action: A grave injustice is happening right now in the occupied West Bank as we speak. A Palestinian man was attacked by armed & masked settlers while he was farming. They attacked him with metal pipes, and broke both his arms. /1

I need some kind of short and clever way to talk about assumptions, approximations, and estimates. EAA sounds like a donkey. Other initialisms are similarly clunky. Esassapp? NOPE! Do any of y'all have better words or ideas? #iteachphysics #iteachscience

Today one of my colleagues announced that, "You can never be more strict than you are on the first day of school." I couldn't disagree more. Setting up your entire year as a power struggle that way sounds exhausting. What do others think? #iteachphysics #iteachscience

Saw a shirt yesterday that said, "Annoying my wife one goat at a time!" and came very close to buying it, despite not having a wife nor any goats. It just seemed very on-brand.

I may be late to this game, but I haven't seen this in any teaching hack list. So far, it's my favorite new thing this year. Dubious about the durability of the thing, but excited about the possibility. #iteachphysics #iteachscience

My classroom set up for today's student/parent orientation. Today is 5th and 6th grade. Tomorrow is when my kiddos will be here. I'll be picking up the liquid nitrogen for that this afternoon. #iteachphysics #iteachscience

Reading a book that describes ADHD brain as "Ferrari engine with bicycle breaks". Not sure about comparing me with a Ferrari, but the concept is sound. It's not a deficit of attn. It's a struggle to get my attention to slow down enough to go where I want in a controlled manner.

The gender euphoria that comes with a new haircut is so real. Like a deep breath of the best mountain air. Like a kitty cat purring on your chest. Like the first bite of your favorite dessert. Peace and joy and a feeling of profound rightness.

High, stable self-esteem confers sufficient comfort that you can learn from others, freely admit what you don't know and when you're wrong . By contrast, grandiosity and constant self-congratulation are attempts to overcompensate for deep insecurity: is.gd/YxmOII

I just read a tweet (well-meaning i know) of someone sharing that they received their first @NIH R01. For anyone who doesn't know, the R01 is the gold-standard first large award that is supposed to mark you as having "arrived" in academic research...🧵

How quickly people pivoted from concern trolling about girls' sports to outright criminalizing trans identities and encouraging individually perpetrated and state sponsored violence against those who care for and love us (providers, parents, teachers).
