I did a presentation about the virtues of using @pascoscientific smart carts in the Physical Science classroom at @tcboe 's STEAM By Design Conference. The lucky winner of the door prize, a pasco smart cart fan accessory, was Jaime Wilkey of Munford Middle School. Thanks Pasco!

They also had the idea to use the rotation sensor to show that the angular acceleration did not change on the lifting mechanism (we called it the crane's motor). We didn't include this concept in the presentation due to time.

As far as I know, this was an original use of the equipment. The pulley on the @pascoscientific meter torque pivot had fixed strings attached to the force sensors on smart carts. Any movement at the pivot point was transmitted to the force sensors.

Students in my #physics class used equipment from @pascoscientific to demonstrate torque at our Technology Showcase yesterday. @BBCMHS @tcboe A model tower crane demonstrated how lifting a load creates a torque and how the load on the fulcrum is reduced by moving the load.

Many thank to @alabamapower for providing @BBCMHS a $7500 grant to help B.B. Comer High complete our new lab! @TCBOE @ALPowerFdn #science

Students and faculty enjoyed our eclipse watch party today. We were joined by @WVTM13 as well. Thanks @LisaCraneWVTM13 and Andrew! @TCBOE @BBCMHS #EclipseSolar2024

I added my sixth and final entry to my #Auburn gameday diary at about 1:30 a.m. last night and crashed before I could share it here. This was probably the most fun I've had writing something in a good while and I appreciate anyone who gave it a read: al.com/auburnfootball…

Parents, join us for the Title I parent meeting and Mandatory Senior Meeting! #CommittedtoComer

@hope__nichols I'm going Tuesday in Huntsville. I'll probably fit right in!

The North Atlantic has never been this hot this early, with a massive marine heatwave dominating millions of square miles of ocean. In recent days the North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomaly has reached nearly 1°C above normal, the highest in recorded history.

Went to the Auburn baseball game Saturday and won a prize by being near the back door of the concession stand on the way out. Movie night all week!

@jro282876 I saw him in Auburn. He was still hitting 98 mph with his fastball on his 110th pitch.

These are INSANE numbers. I hope he has fun at The Show.

@gratefulkelzz It's been a long time ago, but I used to live in Dadeville and owned a business about 60 feet away from the site of the shooting.

What happens when a physics student is also an athlete? Lots of scholarships! @BBCMHS @TCBOE @TuskegeeUniv

@KerriJMack It was my fault. We had a lead when I turned it on.

As soon as I start watching again the other team hits a hr and has a 1 out base runner. Am I the problem? 🥺

Two of my graduated students brought this by today and left it for me. Thank you so much @EMorelad and @savvchelle! It's perfect! I thought I'd seen every science themed Tshirt out there, but I'd never seen this before.

@sanjanacurtis Zombieland!

@hankgreen Entropy, it's not what it used to be.

What's your favorite science pun?
