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.
Day -3: Professional Development
Today was some professional development. We had some good PD led by Facing History and Ourselves. In the afternoon, we had a staff meeting, where a link hub I maintain that I fully stole from...

@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...

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

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...
