I live under a rock and just saw the announcement that Trinket is shutting down in August. Anyone know of a work-around, or is something in the works, for student-friendly access to VPython/Glowscript? Hoping @wbrianlane.bsky.social or @rhettallain.bsky.social might know of something? #iteachphysics

Hey there physics 🎢🍎 teacher friends! If you teach AP physics 2 or C E&M or have an Electricity & Magnetism component to your intro class, and want some well-tested strategies & moves for teaching E&M, Kris Newton and I are running a weekly online #modphys E&M class for teachers

I am doing a #teach180 blog now, in concert with @barnettdreyfuss.bsky.social. Days -4 & -3 are about our professional days. lerner180.posthaven.com/day-4-convoc... and lerner180.posthaven.com/day-3-profes.... Shout out to @afreeparticle.com for the link hub template.

@lernerphysics.bsky.social reminded me how great daily reflection can be for teaching when he facilitated the Q&A after my award. I hope to move to a blog format but #Teach180 posts here will do for a start! 🧪🎢

My school is looking for a Middle School Science/STEAM teacher for this coming Fall! We are a small, independent, all-girls boarding/day school (grades 6-12) in Simsbury, CT. We have faculty housing available. I am the Dept. Chair; reach out if interested! www.ethelwalker.org/about/career...

I forgot I previously made this SHM @desmos.com comparing UCM, pendulum, and mass on a spring side by side until I was getting ready for class this evening. #iTeachPhysics www.desmos.com/calculator/e...

Join Jess Dykes and me this January for a course on integrating physics Modeling and computational thinking. #modphys #iteachphysics #cmpfb

Built on a fluids unit I made during a modeling workshop with @secaurphysics.bsky.social and @emmaphys.bsky.social phenomena->paradigm lab->model->test model->break model #iteachphysics 🎢 #ModPhys

Sometimes you make something just to prove that you can. Behold, a 3D printed physical model of double slit wave interactions! 😅 #iteachphysics 🎢

Finding saved twitter links and crossing fingers the link works until I can save the info. #iTeachPhysics Today, @danhosey.bsky.social's lab to find µ from v & Δx:

Unbalanced Forces problem solving stations this week in 10th grade Physics. A favorite day every year! #iteachphysics #modphys #scichat

Final unbalanced force lab for my honors physics class- 1) derive an expression for the kinetic friction coefficient of socks on tile using only times and distances. 2) Take data and numerically solve. Required whimsy makes this a favorite activity! Mass independence always stuns. #iTeachPhysics 🎢

Not sure how I missed knowing this for so long! If you want to link to just one part of a phet simulation then add ?screens=1 or ?screens=2 or ?screens=2,3 to the end of the URL e.g. phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/en... Keep students on task more easily #ITeachPhysics #SciTeachUK

🎢 Brilliant demonstration from @cossettej.bsky.social of the relationship between normal force and friction force on a car.

Join @eburns2.bsky.social and me this January to learn about how Modeling Instruction can transform your science teaching! We will see Modeling in action, discuss science pedagogy, and join a community of educators who love talking about student-centered learning🎢 🧪🧬🍎

A big welcome to @eburns2.bsky.social, who has just joined us! #iTeachChem #modChem #eduSky

Social Emotional Check-in as we start orbits in AP Physics 1 tomorrow: Which 3 body orbit are you? Source: www.youtube.com/shorts/6EvaV... 🎢🍎

We’re starting balanced force lab practical stations in 9th-grade physics! Students predict the hidden reading on the covered spring scales. This is their very first time solving problems with gravitational force. We’ll move on to more complex stations in next class! #modphys #iteachphysics

Hey 🎢 #ITeachChem 🍎 folks, if you want to learn about Modeling Instruction in a 10 week online course, my friend @emmaphys.bsky.social is the perfect leader to help you learn about models and Modeling. Check bit.ly/IntroModSpring25 for details.

Has anyone started a #modphys starter pack yet? Well...I did! (Carpe Diem, no?) Let me know if you'd like to be added! (Also, I'm bad at naming & descriptions so you get what you get ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. ) go.bsky.app/3GphTEz

I’ve had my head in the sand for a while and now I’m back. Are we having an #iTeachPhysics renaissance? I’m so here for it!

Just arrived in Boston for the AAPT Summer Meeting! Looking forward to meeting others and making new friends! 🎢

I wrote an enthusiastic, very personalized college rec for a student. She got accepted to her first choice, and she told me her acceptance packet came w/a hand-written note saying it was her teacher rec that made them think she'd be an excellent fit. Quite possibly the highlight of my semester. 🍎

Just over a week away from starting our AMTA Intro to Modeling Instruction course with @emmaphys.bsky.social and I'm so excited for the opportunity to talk nerd talk about pedagogy with other teachers. I don't get enough of that in my daily life

Join @secaurphysics.bsky.social and me this January for a virtual course on Modeling Instruction pedagogy! We are so excited to discuss science pedagogy with other teachers. 🎢🍎 More info here: www.eweblife.com/prm/AMTA/cal...

A handy table of various velocities😀 #ITeachPhysics

Hi 🎢🍎friends, @emmaphys.bsky.social and I are leading a 10 week course, Intro to Modeling Instruction, for the American Modeling Teachers Association next semester. Check it out here: bit.ly/AMTAintro123

If you're doing free fall, I like including this as a problem: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b4Z... Find the takeoff velocity.

Adjustable Graph Maker v5: Quickly make graphs from any function that look like REAL data with random noise. Based originally on a desmos graph by @joemilliano.bsky.social Link: desmos.com/calculator/w... #iTeachPhysics #iTeachMath #EduSky

Had a great first day of classes today. My 9th graders whiteboarded, gallery-walked, then came to a consensus on silly warm-up questions they'd like to ask each other, then we answered those warm-up questions using a variety of discussion protocols and "talk moves." 🎢

Every now and then, this 1967 Cosmo article "The Computer Girls" comes up, but only the first page. So I asked my librarian to find the remaining pages. The additional pages add a lot of context. The Grace Hopper quote on first page is priceless. Text transcription: gist.github.com/Nathan-Furna...

Some late summer baking for a cookout! Blueberry blackberry pie, with berries straight off the bush. And homemade hamburger buns because I’m extra.

Any of the #iTeachPhysics people interested in a course this fall to help them with implementation of Modeling Instruction, check out this course led by Jess Dykes. It looks great!

Want to learn more about Modeling Instruction? Join @secaurphysics.bsky.social and me for a *virtual* intro course starting in September. We’d also love it if you could pass this along to colleagues. Details are at bit.ly/AMTAintro23. Can’t wait to discuss pedagogy with other Science teachers! 🎢🥽🧬🧪🍎

Do you want 1 minute/day of physics history for your students? If your answer is yes, you might like the year's worth of slides I just finished. https://bit.ly/ThisDayinPhysics Comments are turned on if you want to leave suggestions/comments. #ITeachPhysics #EduSky

🎢 Motion diagrams from real life What can you say about the motion of the bubbles, car and train? What assumptions would you need to make? #iTeachPhysics #EduSky

I'm also a perfectionist, which leads to me not sharing my work (never good enough). And this behavior holds me back from doing better work. And to @lernerphysics.bsky.social original point, it sets up an unhealthy social media dynamic where folks only show off their glowing successes. 🎢

If you're curious to learn more about Modeling Instruction, @emmaphys.bsky.social and I are leading a 10-week online intro course for AMTA starting in September. Check details at bit.ly/AMTAintro23. Emma and I are eager to discuss pedagogy with other teachers! #Iteachphysics #Iteachchem #EDUsky

This looks like a must read #WomenInSTEM

I need to do more of this! I get hung up on sharing things that I’m not yet completely satisfied with, when really the feedback and ideas would be helpful both for myself and others. 🎢

I just signed up to request a mentor for presenting at AAPT next summer. Eeek! I have no idea what I want to share yet, so hopefully my mentor can help me with that small detail. #iTeachPhysics

#ITeachPhysics AAPT is starting to solicit session and workshop proposals for the 2024 summer meeting in Boston! Shoot me a DM if you have ideas!

Me scheduling a meeting in the summer: "Any day this week or next week. Or the week after. Really any time, just let me know." Me scheduling a meeting in the school year: "It has to be on a Wednesday, and it has to be between 10:25 and 11:15 a.m., and there's a good chance I'll have to cancel."

Any post tagged with #ModPhys :) https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:l72uci4styb4jucsgcrrj5ap/feed/aaaimdpuxroas

Do any #iTeachPhysics folks have an invite code that they can give to @ Physics Randall on the other site?

Coates’ prose is among the most eloquently moving writing I’ve ever read. Between the World and Me can’t get more sincerely honest in how to speak to racism in the US, from a father to his son, as only Coates could write it. #EduSky

@karalu.bsky.social has arrived! #chemEd #iTeachPhysics #eduSky

Who else has major AAPT Summer Meeting FOMO? I just couldn't financially swing the cross-country travel this summer. Boston next summer will be much more do-able for me. Maybe I'll even be brave and try to present something! #iTeachPhysics

Listening to Rachel Scherr talk about the Equity and Energy Project. I had no idea there were so many ways to incorporate equity in the study of energy. #AAPTSM23
