#BikeHFX the bike beg button to cross Almon at Gladstone is finally working, it’s a Natal Day miracle!

I've been doing a lot of (physics) writing with different editors, which requires symbols and Greek letters. Not everything uses latex, shortcuts don't always work... so I got claude to make this tool for copy/pasting symbols and stuff #iteachphysics dannydoucette.github.io/symbols.html

IB physics teachers, I’m updating ibphysics.net. What resources do you want to share? #iteachphysics

Good news for #BikeHFX: paving on Windsor between North and Almon is finished, and the Windsor St bike lanes are smooth again Great news: the bike lanes were widened a bit when they repainted them, which is great because those lanes felt like bike sewers But also...

Hey #BikeHFX, anyone have good ideas about connecting between the Isleville bikeway (Creighton and Maynard) and the new bike lanes on Rainier and Brunswick? Felt hilly and exposed

Take The Lane would be a great name for a campaign in which a bunch of us cycled down Robie and North and Quinpool during rush hour to advocate for bike lane funding

If you are riding by parked cars take the lane. You're allowed to take the lane. Drivers are not allowed to run you over. Drivers are allowed to door you. Take the lane.

I'm super excited to share that I have finally assembled my online resources for the new IB Physics SL curriculum! passionatelycurioussci.weebly.com/ib-physics.h... #ITeachPhysics

Hey #BikeHFX, just noticed windsor st painted bike lanes from Almon to North are closed for road maintenance. Inbound closed for work, outbound has been taken over for vehicular traffic

Like a few physics teachers here 🎢 I've been coding (partly using claude) html simulations. This one is a bit different, because it allows you to create and download gifs, too dannydoucette.github.io/ideal-gas.html

A simulation for #ibphysics students who haven't started their IA yet (due 20 April): thinkib.net/physics/page... And a corresponding blog post for teachers: thinkib.net/.../blog/674... Both pages are freely available for everyone. Happy physics-ing!

Beautiful explanation of chiral-induced spin selectivity by my friend David Waldeck, who passed away recently: physicstoday.aip.org/features/how...

How the twist of a molecule affects electron spin

Since the discovery was first reported in 1999, researchers have uncovered many aspects of the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect, but its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Incredible new motion tracking online app: phystracker.org Check out that "Analysis" tab! #iTeachPhysics

Hey #iteachphysics, what are you using for nuclear/radiation experiments?

Two new 🎢 things to share this weekend: Nuclear structure from IB physics unit E.1 by inquiry thinkib.net/physics/page... A lesson plan about the model minority myth in science classes, with the underrep.com team underrep.com/lessons/2-Mo...

On a personal note, I've started writing for the InThinking IB Physics site. I've got lots to share over the next couple years 🎢 thinkib.net/physics/blog...

‪A gift for science teachers in 🇺🇸: I wrote a 45-minute lesson plan based on MLK Jr's Nobel Prize speech in which students contrast the pace of scientific/technological progress with the pace of moral justice 🎢 underrep.com/lessons/0-ML... #iTeachPhysics

Trying emergent curriculum in large-enrollment intro college physics this semester. Each unit: 1. demo ⚗️ 2. theory-building 👪 3. conventions and notation 🧑‍🏫 4. worked examples 🧑‍🏫 5. craft and choose learning goal 👪 6. write example problems 👪 7. homework, tests 🧑‍🎓 Will share details later! #teach50
