Happy Teacher Appreciation Week #iteachphysics

One of my favorite labs is the “pendulum to a song” lab which is a sample activity now in the AP Physics 1 CED. One of my students took it to a different level. Turn up the volume 😀 #iteachphysics

@xkcd.com hey Randall I use your Earth’s temperature timeline #1732 in class and was wondering if you had an updated version. Thanks

Valentine’s Day whiteboard graffiti is a tradition in my classroom. #iTeachPhysics

Thanks to the amazing Michael Freeman’s @afreeparticle.com collision simulations for some whiteboard work yesterday with AP1. They were wow-ed and also left with a pretty good understanding of center of mass. #iteachphysics

While I inhabit books a lot and easily get lost in a fiction plot, I don’t usually get emotional. As with her other books, @sonalidev.bsky.social ‘s There’s something about Mira had me shedding tears for the characters. Maybe because her plots hit too close to home. #booksky

@jacobsphysics.bsky.social True story: A student in AP1 today wanted to know if they could use Bertha’s rule of 1s as a “physics fact” for a Justify question in the AP exam!!!! I mentioned you as the author of the rule they were so excited as they remembered you from the APC videos. #iteachphysics

I tell them to use “physics facts” to justify 🤷🏽‍♀️ #iTeachPhysics

Listened to student presentations on their “adopted Physicist” #AAPT in class today. One student spoke about their physicist (a college prof) who teaches a class a day + has a TA grade tests, then threw me a sympathetic glance. Ms N you have so much more grading to do in comparison 😳 #iteachphysics

Feeling the feels today after receiving this message from a student. Raison d’etre #iTeachPhysics

Welp in my attempt to be friendly and make conversation with a parking lot attendant I said I hope we can just wave our hands and use the chip in our palms to pay someday. What I left unsaid was …. and effectively automate your job 🤦🏾‍♀️ I should stop trying to be friendly to strangers #anxietycoping

When the same nurse calls every other patient by name and then refers to your kid as "this one" #microaggression

There's a reason I left the bird site. Please don't report what's going on there, here 🤦🏾‍♀️

First test of the year - took too long to grade. Two Bollywood movies loooong. #iteachphysics

That time of the year when you find long lost items in the pockets of sweatshirts stored through the summer.

Is this really a fortune cookie? 😳
