Thank you so much @DonorsChoose for finding my grant!!! I got new goggles for my Ss in lots of fun colors and a new sanitation cabinet to better organize and clean! I am so excited to show my advanced chem Ss tomorrow for our lab!! @HumbleISD_KHS

Just me from ME, and @Kelly_Warner9 from NH. A handful educators from N. Eng. Got 👌🏻🧪ideas for my classroom, met/learned from wonderful people including some #chemfam. Thanks to everyone @ChemEd2025 and the CESD. #grateful #iteachchem

@Mrpchemistry @APchemisMe Great way to visualize! Red potential of Zn2+ and Ag+ are -0.76V and +0.80 V. How is it possible for Ag to be reduced and oxidized at the same time? What is the cell voltage of this cell?

@KatyDornbos @ChemEd2025 @NATS_Science @OfficialNGSS When were the students asked to do this? After learning about redox a little bit? Great questions!

Which question is your favorite? (both my favs are green)
Background. We are starting a new unit. After giving their best guesses on the blank document, students ask one additional question (colorful doc).
Period 5 you rock! #chemed @ChemEd2025 @NATS_Science @OfficialNGSS

Day 1 Intro Intermolecular Forces. Sharpie/washable marker with Ethanol & Water. We love the secondary conversations about how the color of the marker does affect the interaction. You can find our write up on @AACTconnect @AnjanaIyer #AllKidsCanLearn

@ashley_green2 @HamikChem Can you please tell me more about it?

Today I had students in my #ApChemistry make their own solutions of CuCl₂ today (~100mL) and each of them used ~20mL with Al. Can anyone suggest another reaction to do with the CuCl₂ to use it? #IteachChemistry

Modeling Instruction @AMTAteachers was some of the best PD I have taken. It completely transformed my teaching and under of how students learn science. Check this out if you can.

Want to learn more about Modeling Instruction? Join @SecaurPhysics and me for a virtual intro course starting in Sept. We'd also love it if you could pass this along to colleagues. Details at bit.ly/AMTAintro23. Can't wait to discuss pedagogy with other Science teachers!

Listened to the @TomSchimmerPod & was thinking about assessment. How did you learn how to write quality assessments? Please retweet so a variety of educators can vote (not just chem & physics Ts)

Teachers: Did you ever have any formal training on writing assessments?

It took me 10+ years of teaching to isolate this skill from my students.
It's now one of those "big bang for your buck" problems.
