To hear me talk about teaching, Modeling Instruction, Standards-Based Grading, and professional learning communities, have a listen to the new Science Modeling Talks podcast! sciencemodelingtalks.com/epi…
Fireworks in NYC! We should celebrate how far we've come as a nation, but we have a long way to go to make the self evident truths of the Declaration of Independence a reality, especially for all the Americans who were left out of that document.
My "Learn to Fly" students will have fun with this during our January intensive course. Principles of meteorology as well as flight.

Join us! Manjula and I have planned some activities to get you thinking about assessment practices with goals of supporting growth mindsets in students, improving learning, and fostering equity. We’ll share our approaches to SBG with Q&A time, and send you with top resources.

Fantastic footage of this year’s hovercraft activity from Kevin Ramsey! instagram.com/p/CVLrIOdFeub/…
If you’ll allow me to bend your ear for a moment, let me tell you about how changing how I assess students has improved my students’ learning. #sbg #iteachphysics @AMTAteachers @STEMteachersNYC
In this month's "Meet a Modeler" @SchoberScience shares how Modeling and #sbg transformed his classroom!

Some of the Veil Nebula with a stock Nikon D3400 on a WO ZenithStar 81 for about an hour of light gathering. I hope to have students with me on my next #Astrophotography outing in the NY Catskills.
Cygnus region experiment: I used a D5200, 145 x 15 sec subs, on a polar-aligned Syrp pan unit. The color boost and and noise reduction is great, but the wide angle distortion (14mm Rokinon) gobbled up the corner stars when stacking. #Astrophotography
Lagoon and Trifid nebulae from last week. Considering how close they were to the horizon, they came out pretty well.

This personal story from Dr. Jocelyn Bell Burnell reinforces why she is featured in the Women in Physics lesson from STEP UP! She Changed Astronomy Forever. He Won the Nobel Prize for It. @STEPUPphysics @AMTAteachers @nytimes nytimes.com/2021/07/27/opini…
Going Gradeless is a good read with practical advice. If you haven’t checked it out yet, it’s worth your time.

A wonderful thread! I got to meet Dr. Rubin at an @AAPTHQ summer meeting where she shared remembrances of Hans Bethe. After all the years she struggled for recognition, it was wonderful to hear her able to pursue whatever research questions interested her.
Astronomer Vera Rubin was born #OTD in 1928. Her work on galactic rotation curves became one of the main pieces of evidence for the existence of dark matter, and she deserved a Nobel Prize for it. #BirthdayVeraRubin
