Kristin Mayer, PhD

Working on some lessons on light absorption and reflection and wondering if anyone has thought about accomodations for individuals with color blindness? #ngss #phenomenon #equity

@richbacolor @WPBO @MichiganAudubon @A2RecDirect @Afro_Herper Love this! Also thank you for introducing me to @Afro_Herper and #FindThatLizard we play every week as warm up for my classes now!

Who wants to play #PeepThatPlover? @WPBO @MichiganAudubon @A2RecDirect #conservemibirds #sharetheshore #floof #pipingplover (Twitter game credit: @Afro_Herper #FindThatLizard)

@richbacolor @WendyJohnsonMI Totally creating an integrated physics and bio course together! It's exciting! All about deep understanding of matter and energy and application to ecosystems

Wait…has @mskmayer won @WendyJohnsonMI over to physics and #TeamVandeGraaff??????? Did someone lose a bet??? What is going on??????? #MSTA2022

Standards-Based Grading in HS Science with the amazing Dr. @WendyJohnsonMI #MSTA2022

@mazismith Went to AA for the game Sat w/my brother @curtonic You rocked it! Exciting game and was great to see you beat OSU!!

I have three questions that I don't think I could teach without: *What do you notice? *What are you wondering? *What's your evidence? They're so simple, but they really help me understand what my Ss are thinking. What are the questions you find yourself using all of the time?

Question for standards based grading teachers: if a 1 is "no evidence" and kid turned in a blank test, dies kid get a 1 for no evidence? #sbg this is our first year doing this. Also note, our grading system is traditional 100 point A-E scale, we're just forcing sbg into it

Lies My Teacher Told Me is the main reason I became a teacher. @JamesWLoewen contributed so much to understanding our own country James Loewen, Author Of 'Lies My Teacher Told Me,' Dies At 79 : NPR npr.org/2021/08/23/103…

@brandoncpresley I call it the non-additive property of volume but not sure I made that up

#Chemtwitter help a brotha out... What is the technical term for the loss of volume upon mixing aqueous and organic solvents????? I've spent the last half hour searching for the term... Unless there is no term 😂 ... But I think there is.

@kmgill135 @richbacolor @WendyJohnsonMI @MSTAMich My high school Ss say the same thing! My student teacher this year came up with an awesome tool to help Ss compare/contrast everyday use of common terms and the science use

@richbacolor @mskmayer @WendyJohnsonMI @MSTAMich Interesting discussions about energy in my elementary classroom. Most students associated energy with biological processes. “I have lots of energy, so I can run fast”. They also had a sense of energy as fuel, like gasoline. Sound and light? Didn’t come up in initial discussions

“...indeed, much of the history of science can be described as the development of understanding of the concept of force.” #wannabestartinsomethin #toohightogetover #yeahyeah #toolowtogetunder #yeahyeah

@veritasium one of my high school science students asked why spinning ropes or chains make this pattern. I gave my best explanation and consulted my colleague but still couldn't explain the whole phenomenon. Thought it could make a good youtube video

Today, Derek Chauvin was found guilty. But our legal system is still far from just, and students may still feel a lack of closure. We hope you’ll reaffirm the value of Black lives and create space for students to process. These resources can help. learningforjustice.org/the-moment/apr…

@Dr_JoiM Woohoo! Congratulations!

This. We say we want to raise critical thinkers, but when they start to question us/things we criminalize and punish them. We only love thoughtful children in the abstract, just like we theoretically believe in justice.

@steveoc Yes! The injection site soreness was my biggest thing too. Totally worth it though!!

@mskmayer Mainly soreness at injection site and general fatigue

Covid19 shot #2 tomorrow. I am thrilled, but concerned about the side effects I’ve heard about after #2

@sciencewithtyus 1 mind blown 2 it's been rough lately! Had to start class today by saying world feels very overwhelming and unsafe right now let's give each other some grace

I’ve been feeling crummy these past few days with all the stuff going on the news but it always makes me happy to know I have science and wildlife to lift me up so I made a video doing what I do best, talking about science. #ScienceTwitter

So much love for all involved... so lucky to learn from such a knowledgeable, compassionate, and thoughtful group of teachers, writers, and leaders who were involved with the development, piloting, and revision of these engaging 5D storylines! #MeaningfulChemistry @NGSS_tweeps

Drum roll please....the moment we've all been waiting for...#iHubChemistry landing page is live! docs.google.com/document/d/1Wr…

@DavidMaxamAIA @Google First day back from spring break too

@mskmayer @Google Happy Monday!

@Google My students are getting the message "Google Docs encountered an error. Please try reloading this page, or coming back to it in a few minutes. To learn more about the Google Docs editors, please visit our help center." when they try to open their assignment through GC.
