@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

Doing this tomorrow! I shockingly can always search for that one @cossettej lesson/activity tweet when I remember “I think I saw something I wanted to do!” Thanks for always posting, Joe! #iTeachPhysics

@helenrey @adamboxer1 Oh - interesting! Thanks 😊

@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.

@helenrey @adamboxer1 @helenrey - you have me curious! What is the process for renewal/non renewal in the UK?

@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!

@KatyDornbos Thanks! I’ll let the Chemistry teacher know that 🔦

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?

@sorensensci How did I forget the Pumpkinator from @pchemstud 🎃 twitter.com/sciencesprout/…

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?

@sorensensci @KarlCraddock is it the self carving pumpkin that you like? flinnsci.com/api/library/Do…

@KatyDornbos @NATS_Science That’s an amazing shirt … makes me want to sign up! 🤣

This is really cool #chemistry

@aserkin @pchemstud I’m tempted to do both & give away the print at a @ChemWest meeting!

@ScienceSprout @pchemstud It was a hard choice! I went for print

Demo book from @pchemstud ?? This sounds like a must have … now I just need to decide on print or digital! 💥🧪👩🏻‍🔬

@HamikChem @aserkin @ChemEd2025 I couldn’t agree more! 💜

@aserkin @ChemEd2025 You are by far one of the most welcoming introverts I've had the pleasure to meet! Looking forward to seeing you again in 2027. 🤓🧪🎆

For this #nerdytshirtfriday , I want to remind all of you that I’m really just introverted but willing to talk about chemistry. Thank you to all of you who made @chemed2025 such an amazing experience for me. #iteachchem #chemfam #bettertogeher
