Here's a quick, addictive(?) game to keep your "6-7 meme" obsessed kids occupied if need be: schwanbeck.org/67/ Sound effects are just me speaking in a deep voice. #sixseven #meme #game #aicoding

I made this total #eclipse countdown for my #astronomy class to 1) make the point that upcoming eclipse timing is known with very high precision, & 2) use as a demo for other teachers showing how easy it is to make simple websites with generative #AI. #AIinEDU #EduSky schwanbeck.org/eclipse/

Today is 9/16/25 which is 3²/4²/5². The next date that will be of the format a²/b²/c² where a, b, & c are consecutive, increasing, integers won't be until January 4th, 2109. The next #date that will be of the format a²/b²/c² where a, b, & c are *any* integers is Jan. 1st, 2036. #math #uselesfacts

This "Seasons" simulator from EarthSpaceLab.com is a great tool for students to learn about equinoxes/seasons/etc. in an interactive way. www.earthspacelab.com/app/seasons/ #astronomy #iteachscience #scienceed

At the rate #AI is advancing, you can never be too careful. That's why I made these printable CAPTCHAs for folks to pass before our meeting starts.

First day of #Astronomy class! The tagline for my course is "By better understanding our #universe we can better understand our place within it... and ourselves." (We'll revisit this slide throughout the course, revealing later on that the period after "ourselves" is the Earth) #space #palebluedot

New graph puts death risk from asteroid impact in context with other dangerous events. I’ve long taught my #astronomy students their odds of #death by #asteroid are surprisingly high—rare event, but huge toll. Now I can include quantitative info! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3... #science #space

Awesome to see the weight of a paper airplane recorded as it flies over a scale! Great video for #physics #teachers to use when teaching Newtonian Mechanics/force diagrams/etc. #iteachphysics www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnvt...

"What would happen if you ate a small black hole, like, with an even horizon the size of an M&M?" A creative question from an #Astronomy student in class today. We talked about why this wouldn't be possible, but then discussed hypothetically:

I'm teaching Law of Reflection in Conceptual #Physics & realized I don't have a good understanding of *why* light follows the law. That is, I can explain why θi=θr for a basketball bounce pass w/ Newtonian mech, but I don't have an equivalent explanation for light. Anyone have a good one to share?

I created this free game for my #astronomy students to get a sense of relative sizes of solar system objects. Adjust moon/planet/comet/etc. sizes, lock in guess, & score accuracy points! Made entirely with #AI Would love your feedback gregschwanbeck.github.io/scale-game/ #AIEDU #EduSKY #edchat

It's amazing how easy it is for #teachers to program their own education games/simulations using #AI, without having to know *any* coding at all. Here's a tutorial video demoing how I made an Astronomy game from start to finish in 26 minutes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnAe... #EduSKY #AiEDU #STEM

My #physics department's Airzooka air vortex cannon things were all broken because the elastic cords had all worn out, so I replaced them. There didn't seem to be an already-existing tutorial video on how to do this, so I made one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fUp... #iteachphysics

Several of my colleagues are using #AI to make educational songs. Often these songs work best when students can read the lyrics while the song plays, so I just made this tutorial for #teachers on making "scrolling lyrics" music videos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP0P... #edusky #edchat #edtech #AiEDU

I made a very quick tour of Google's "Learn About" tool to introduce it to my colleagues. This #AI tool is helps you learn about whatever topic you are interested in, generating something akin to an interactive, multimedia textbook as you go. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V90z... #AIinEducation #EduSky

I finally made that punk rock song about finding the north star and reckoning latitude that you always wanted! I hope it's the best #video in the "punk rock musical #astronomy education" category that you see today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC0E... #space #iteachphysics #science #STEM #edusky

#PHYSICS FACT: The range of a trebuchet is independent of the planet/moon on which you fire it. Because it is gravity-powered, an earth-based trebuchet will have exact same range when on the moon. (Air resistance ignored, of course.) michaeldominik.substack.com/p/physics-re... #iteachphysics

Soda cans are 94% #soda and 6% can. The #SpaceShuttle external fuel tank was 96% propellant & 4% "can." Amazing that something so large could have such an efficient weight-to-capacity ratio... while also holding cryogenic fuels at 20 K & 60 psi, experiencing 3gs! #science #astronomy #space #NASA
