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

@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! 🧪🎢

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

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

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

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)_/¯. )

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. 🍎
