I do this one too. It accelerates slowly enough to get good data by hand.

I still use regular whiteboards and whiteboard meetings for lab debrief and some other activities, but I really like using vertical boards for some things.

I love vertical whiteboarding for that cross-group communication that @msruggerio.bsky.social mentions as well as increasing engagement. It also makes for a quick debrief at the end, because problems are on the boards.

I use vertical whiteboarding for practice after we have developed our model with a paradigm lab. As written in the book, it is intended to start simple and gradually add complexity with each new problem.

This is awesome! Off to order some copper mesh!

I'm so excited that Jeremy Secaur and I are leading an Electricity and Magnetism Modeling Instruction workshop this summer. It's virtual so that you can join from anywhere and we'll be offering a second part in the fall. Join us!

I can very much relate to this!

Good luck with the next phase!

Congratulations!

This year, my AP1 kids have been watching AP Classroom videos and are fascinated with @jacobsphysics.bsky.social and his friends. They couldn't believe I'd met Edna. At the end of the week, one of them presented me with this portrait of Edna. 2/2 #iTeachPhysics

A couple of years ago I had a class that really got into the lore of Throckmorton, who appears in several different problems in the Modeling Instruction worksheets. They searched the internet and used Throckmorton in their escape room projects. 1/2 #iTeachPhysics

Also, how is it possible that I have never heard of the rule of ones before?

This post came just in time as I was planning my energy unit. We did this today and it was awesome! Almost everyone completed two stations and they were doing such good thinking! Not everyone had the same station and I loved the individual accountability and also the moments of collaboration.

And that fight helped other locals as well, including ours. It's absolutely due to union solidarity that paid leave is becoming more common in Massachusetts school districts.

I made a second batch yesterday and intentionally was much more liberal with the egg wash. They were more golden than my first batch.

Loved it! I'm going to read the other series next.

I just finished reading this series, on the recommendation of my son.

Me, me!!! Add me!

Hello!

I'm a physics teacher and hoping to move over here more permanently from the other space. Add me?

4 question types: mathematical routines, translation between representations, lab question, qualitative quantitative translation. When I get home I can share the question writing template I made. It's for AP1 and AP2, but question types are similar across all 4 exams.

I wore that one today too!

We have six physics teachers at our school, including me. (And also two special ed physics teachers who co-teach with us). As of today, three of the physics teachers are my former student teacher interns. And the whole group managed to gather for lunch today.

I particularly love this book of that series.

The most precise street signs I have ever seen.

We did one with animals on our backs and we had to do yes or no questions to guess the animals.

All I know is that if they pull out the yarn at our first science meeting I am running far away.

Hello @edusky I'm a physics teacher in Massachusetts.
