I forget who I learned this from, but I'm so thankful. It has really helped build student understanding both graphically and conceptually. #modphys

Reflecting on my week in the classroom, and with a lot of hands on projects comes a lot of thinking about “teaching ALL of the curriculum”… #NewSchoolCulture

When your kids have a question about pulleys, you make your kids a pulley. Reviewing their Atwood's Machine Lab, specifically points of error like where you want friction and where you don't. #iteachphysics

We use real salami for a series of conceptual pulley problems from our book: hang a salami vertically, attach it to a wall over a pulley, balance two against each other with two pulleys. They're always shocked that the tension in the rope is the same in all three cases. 1/

Today’s quick #STEMstarter challenge: instead of just teaching “accuracy” & “precision” we dropped our pencils 5 times to determine if we were accurate or precise (or both!) Make #STEM rigorous & fun!

Maps are a great way to help students practice adding vectors. I do this instead of the outdoor vector walk, since they can get more practice calculating and measuring components, which my AP students struggle with. I feel like it helps to sketch those results on tissue paper.
