In 1925 a @harvard.edu PhD candidate named Cecilia Payne deduced that the sun and stars are primarily composed of hydrogen. Her PhD supervisor advised her to downplay her findings. Read the story of Harvard's first female full professor: www.chemistryworld.com/features/the... #ChemSky #ScienceSky

100 years ago, Cecilia Payne deduced that the sun is mainly made of hydrogen - but was encouraged to downplay her findings by her PhD supervisor. Mike Sutton takes up the story

Oh, Kansas! It's Thursday, Feb 20 and due to a combination of 2 snow storms , today's tropical temperatures, President's day off, & previously scheduled days off for conferences, the last time my district had school was Tuesday, Feb 11. 🤷🏼‍♀️

At least all my classes had unit tests right before this

I know as a teacher I get a larger winter break than the average person.
But I had a realization an hour ago that I have to be at work, in a staff meeting at 7:30am tomorrow and I almost cried. I really thought I had one more day, don't ask me why, I don't know. We had less than 2 weeks this year

OK everyone, what activities do you do for "HS-PS2-6
Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials."?

We've covered bonding, properties, IMFs. Need ideas for a short lesson or 2

First Day back after 9 days off as a teacher who did almost 0 school work (I graded formal lab reports) and the theater teacher is using 2 of 3 copy machines in prep of musical auditions...
3 weeks to winter break!

Spotted last night as I left dinner with a friend, had to stop and take a pic. It cracked me up again this morning, so I'll share...

I set this up last year around this time but didn't use it much, seems like many are migrating here so hopefully I can get the hang of this.

New to this from the other place. Looking to find perhaps a science teacher community, but also just generally good people to interact with
