Mr Bornstein

After our last assignment (gr 12 organic chem), I had students do a self-assessment: when did they get the work done, what would they do differently, and what were they proud of. Their responses were pretty insightful, especially the last one. #cohort21 #vc_learns

Check out our #ScientistoftheWeek, Elizabeth Blackwell (presented by Isabel). The first female doctor in the USA. #WomenInSTEM #vc_learns #cohort21

Meet our next #ScientistoftheWeek @maejemison profiled by Natalie. Engineer, Doctor, @NASA Astronaut, Total Badass. #vc_learns #cohort21 #WomenInSTEM

It's all about growth! I'm not comparing Michael's lab report to Jordan's. I'm comparing Michael's 3rd lab report to his 2nd. But that doesn't mean Michael and Jordan can't push each other. Let the competition drive you, not define you! #cohort21 #vc_learns

Here's our next #ScientistoftheWeek from Elizabeth: Marie Maynard Daly, 1st Black American woman to get a PhD in chemistry #vc_learns #WomenInSTEM #sciencerules

Let's go! #vc_learns #Shad2023

New project for my #SCH4U students: Scientist of the Week. Scientists must be from marginalized communities (BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, #WomenInSTEM, etc.) First up: Mary Golda Ross. #vc_learns #Cohort21 #sciencerules

Yesterday I noticed some of my grade 10 science students playing a game in class. They divided into teams and scored points for giving correct answers. They cheered for their teammates. I couldn't be happier about this. #vc_learns

I was entertained, educated, and inspired by the latest @veritasium video youtube.com/watch?v=IV3dnL… For less than the cost of my cell phone bill, I can offset all of my carbon emissions with @project_wren ... and you can too! wren.co/join/jasonborn…

Everyone talks about students and teachers on a #snowday but how about bus drivers? Imagine having the lives of 40 children in your hands when the roads are unsafe.

Hey #sciencetwitter what are some of your favourite acronyms and mnemonics? Mine is for the stages of the cell cycle (interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis): I Peed Myself At The Church. #cohort21

Just hanging out with @queensu prof and #NobelPrize winner Dr. Arthur McDonald @ShadNetwork #blessed

Happy #DestinationDay @VC_Online Class of 2021! Special shout out to future @queensu students

Here's a #SCH3U chemistry blog about iodine by Denis #vc_learns #cohort21 #sciencerules villanovachemistry.wordpress.com/2020/11/21/iod…

Good luck to all my fellow teachers going back to school! Remember how #COVID19 spreads, and let's do our part to keep everyone safe! (source: Gov't of Canada)

Thanks to @ShadNetwork for an amazing month of programming! Special thanks to my #ShadRigel PD @ElissaGelleny

It's a #virtualfieldtrip with @TXInstruments and @ShadNetwork to learn about coding! @ElissaGelleny is here too!

Happy #DestinationDay @VC_Online Congratulations to the #ClassOf2020 Where are you headed in the fall? @queensu perhaps?

When it's chemistry lab day, you wear a bow tie, your @BillNye socks, and draw a flow chart on the board. #sciencerules #vc_learns

Grade 11 Chemistry students learned about percent composition today ... with cookies! #sciencerules #vc_learns #cohort21
