@SecaurPhysics @rcowhey4 @aserkin @MrJoeMilliano @KimFreudenberg @MartaStoeckel @kunal_pujara @kellyoshea @treddtaylor @RobSpencer1 @KatyDornbos @activelylearn Here we go: class code is d4gdi Instructions on how to sign up as a teacher & view the assignments in the sample class here: docs.google.com/document/d/1CD… Note, we haven't finished updating all of them, currently still working, but the old versions are there for your viewing

If a jeweler could make earrings in the shape of the @NASA Artemis II journey (the blue path), I would buy them yesterday. Gravity is a beautiful thing.

@ScienceSprout @adamboxer1 When you employed by a school you are on a permanent contract. The norm is to give a term's notice if you are leaving. The school needs grounds to sack you. And schools pretty much know numbers due to the national curriculum. Electives don't exist like they do in the US.

This is why the English school system is blessed with external, standardised assessments.
Doug Campbell@TradeandMoney

Back when i was a professor, early on I used to get bad reviews occasionally. My institution was extremely critical of this. So, what did I discover was the easy solution? I watered down my course and made everything easier. Magically, I started to get near perfect evaluations in what was a symbiotic hustle. Teach an easy course, crack a few jokes during lecture, and give everyone an A --> good evaluations from students. And students evals are the only way teaching is judged. Of course, students learned much back in the days when I hassled them more with hard projects.

@adamboxer1 It is blessed. When teachers say 'more teacher autonomy' - be careful what you wish for (what is described also happens in schools). Another blessing if you're in UK is you are not looking in you pigeon-hole every March to see if you have a contract for the following year.

@dailystem @KatyDornbos Oh, fun idea @KatyDornbos ! How would you expect the laser to scatter? Tiny holes in the center foil? And - is it zinc sulfide? Either way, love the visual & idea!

Our chemistry teacher made a model of the Rutherford gold foil scattering experiment so the kids could visualize it more than just a photo on a screen

@KatyDornbos @ChemEd2025 @aserkin @ChemEd2019 @cossettej I did AMTA multi-week workshops for physics & chem, but nothing other than those intensive courses (my first physics one was back in the summer of 2010). I consider it my most valuable physics PD. And, we have our Chicagoland @PhysicsNW + groups around here that I still attend!

@KatyDornbos @ChemEd2025 @aserkin @ChemEd2019 @cossettej They make the HS teacher camp 1 of the days in the summer to cram all of the very practical high school classroom stuff in. So, if you go to any day - that’s the one to go to. But, just a different vibe compared to ChemEd 👩🏻‍🔬

@KatyDornbos @ChemEd2025 @aserkin @ChemEd2019 @cossettej I remember getting some great pedagogical pieces from there, but quite pricey for no “materials” cost. The presentations during the main meeting were much shorter, powerpoint style. So, perhaps not as much of a variety?

As I am preparing for our annual Halloween chemistry show for the elementary, I am curious what #chemed Halloween favorites you have! What are you "must do's" for a Halloween show?
