It’s better than seeing the news posts from the U.S. I’m seriously having a hard time sorting out news with the Onion posts at times.

Thanks!

Migrated but not active, hoping to change that!

Yeah, I’ve been MIA for a bit! I went to my camera roll and this is my most recent food pic, mushrooms my son found in the yard last night.

I’m so Midwest (and don’t have my reading glasses on) that I read this as SNOW pop up chat and that seemed on brand for a post from Kory 🤣

Thank you for sharing! This is a great lesson. You always have such creative stuff.

I sure can but I’m off my work computer for the night. I’ll share tomorrow. When I started my new job last year I got a work laptop and have since refused to do schoolwork on my home computer as an attempt at work life balance.

Ummmm…..

I mean he did get that bonus after all, lol

Or worse!

Each group gets a set of batteries. This is only the second year I’m doing this project so it’s still a lot of adjusting for me. Here are a few from last year.

Students drew circuit diagrams for their designs and then tested the viability using Phet circuit construction. Students have individual interviews with me next week to justify their design and get approval to build their room. They will make rooms in shoeboxes, then connect them to make a house.

I think there is a way to “automatically” find your Twitter followers on here…. Let me see if I can find it.

And I want to give back. Teaching is hard and often isolating. Never be afraid to ask for help or support. I’ve been at this for 27 years and still feel like I have a lot to learn. Let’s make this platform a safe place for teachers to get support.

It was a great way to help them put into practice a lot of skills we have been learning, give them some perspective about just looking at a problem instead of focusing on only one idea, and helped me see where the problem areas are. I write about this in case anyone finds this helpful.

After 15 minutes, all the students, at once (I have small classes) came up to the whiteboard and wrote down one thing they knew or a question they had. This gave them time to stretch their legs but also not really see who wrote what. We used our “keen physics eye” to evaluate the responses.
