#SameTypeDifferentMass
- Big fan of sensory experience connecting to learning
- EL Chem fun @ElkGrove_HS - modeling valence e- ⚛️ with Valencia 😃🍊.
- We ionized the valence shell!
- We had electron excitation!

Sci club @ElkGrove_HS @CoEghs: brilliant minds tinkered w electrochemical clocks ⏰️ ⚡️! Did we accidentaly created a time machine? Time mysteriously disappeared! The hands even went backward! 🔮

NEON out for Spirit Day! So fun dressing up with my teacher friends! #WeAreEG @ElkGrove_HS #LEGACY @Mrs_Zielinski @MsPChem
So lucky to pick up these gorgeous student-painted coasters from @BG_Bison
@d214finearts at the Arlington Heights Art Show!
Sales benefited the @D214Foundation
1st @CoEghs @ElkGrove_HS Science Club meeting of yr!
Student-led video-mentary to research the question: "Are hand dryers 'cleaner' than paper towels in restrooms?"
Join the dialogue!
(PS, they didn't know where the Record button was)

Opening night was a smashing success @District214 10th Anniversary Summer Musical! 3 more nights to see! tickets.d214.org/show/150 @ElkGrove_HS @WHS_FineArts @JHHSFineArts @RMFineArts @BGHSFineArts @EGFineArts @PHSFineArt @d214finearts
Amazing day for @ElkGrove_HS science club ss attending Women in STEM conference @argonne!
Meeting professionals from different industries & other students from schools across Illinois!
Dialogue w me @ElkGrove_HS @ChemWest
I experiment in my tching practice. This yr I de-emphasized exact precision/measurement, didn’t do unit conversions or sig figs, I tell or show procedure as a means to an end instead of making Ss read or write detailed steps.
Honors chem Ss measured varying masses of CuCl2, add 150 mL of water, mass Al. Very simple procedure. Big Ideas: compare class data, varying concentrations, mole ratios, limiting and excess reagent. BUT! Notice the volume Measurements😬
Ss can still make meaning w/out correct 150 mL. BUT as a chem tchr, perhaps it’s my role to train & assess rigorous, precise, accurate measurement & lab results? After all, Gen Z is our future, someone has to keep AI in check. (PIC: my attempt to show Ss increments of 0.1)
ALT Ss were struggling mightily to understand increments of 0.1. However, they understand money. So I dramatically cut up a dollar into visual “tenths.”
3 EL boys @ElkGrove_HS 1st time using @ExploreLearning Collision Theory
* Ss 1 submitted pic of Tchr modeling surface area
* Ss 2 “this is amazing!”
* Ss 3 related to self: “In soccer you have to…separate and dispersing”
