#iteachphysics Experiments first etc.
Hi ho! Now that we are thankfully banning phones bell to bell in our high schools, what is the current best solution for video analysis? I would like to buy a set of cameras on tripods I think, any recommendations on good ones for this purpose? #iteachphysics #photography

I need to talk to some people that actually understand Physics about AI. What can I do to make it less dumb about Physics? For example, see this chat I had with Gemini about brainstorming an assessment question on Newton's Second Law. docs.google.com/document/d/1... #iteachphysics
Gemini on Newton's 3rd Law
Can we take the multiple forces question and punch it up a little, make it a little more interesting than just a box experiencing nameless forces? You got it! Let's make that "multiple forces" problem...

It's impossible to tell from basic electrostatic experiments whether (+) or (-) charges are moving. Historically I've allowed students to choose either one as long as they're consistent. Does the AP exam expect students to always answer as if (-) charges are moving? #iteachphysics #apphysics2

APP2 thermodynamics curriculum is weird: you learn specific heat, but not what happens when something freezes or boils. You have to "know" the 2nd law of thermodynamics, but there's nothing about heat engines or pumps. Obviously there's only so much time in the year #iteachphysics

Looks like #iteachphysics is still a decent way to find the pretty good ones huh?
