As a "baby" teacher I participated in @Perimeter's teacher program, EinsteinPlus, and it transformed my teaching practice.
Last week (18 years later) I had the privilege to be on the facilitation team at #EPLUS2024 with a great group of humans. My #physics ❤️ is full.
What a great group of teachers! Physics ❤️ is full.
Planck’s Play-Doh! 🟣 Calculating Planck’s constant with a circuit using Play-Doh as a variable resistor. Thanks for your passion @laura_pankratz and @MsTorriePhysics loved the lab. Such a great time at #eplus2024 @Perimeter
This week is off to a great start! @CSarkonak
Another successful Science Olympics Season in the books! Thank you @westernuScience @westernuPhysAst for a great day. The hilight for me was watching the @vicparkci Rube Goldberg Team launch a mini me at the end of their machine. ❤️
Using images from EHT to revisit the resolution lesson @Perimeter. Thank you @OlgaMichalo! Free teacher resources available at resources.perimeterinstitute…

The Quantum for Educators teacher workshop at @QuantumIQC is being held July 29-31 this year, for high-school teachers looking to introduce #quantum to their students with affordable, curriculum-relevant activities.

Eating pie at PI on pi day with some of my fellow physics people! 3xPI #PiDay #PiDay2024 @Perimeter @OlgaMichalo @physicswithmcp @DaveFishPI
A photo from my #SNC1W class this week. There were some really creative designs and great discussions about conductors, grounding and electric discharge.

Hey high school physics and astronomy teachers out there! This is an amazing opportunity for professional development. One of the best I've ever been to!
Applications are now OPEN for the 2024
@LIGO International #Physics & #Astronomy program for educators at @LIGOWA!
Please Share!
Applications CLOSE Jan 31, 2024. Learn more & APPLY here:

Day 2 of #IBGlobalConference #IBGC2023: The IB's approach to developments with AI. "This isn't about technology. It is about the education system" - Dr. Matt Glanville (Director of IB Assessment). Today we discussed some really tough but important questions.
Grateful for the opportunity to meet other IB educators and resource developers at the #IBGlobalConference #IBGC2023 #ManageBac
You know what is an unexpected treat @TRIUMFLab? The 7 apple trees that are descendents of the apple tree at Sir Isaac Newton's home. The 6 outer trees represent the 6 sectors of the TRIUMF cyclotron magnet. #physics #iteachphysics

Hey Brandon, how does it feel to get “MVP” chants on the road?
Brandon: “Normal” 😭
#ScienceOlympics back in action @westernuScience @westernuPhysAst #RubeGoldberg machine - the challenge: carry out a simple task in the most complicated way possible. Extra points for each different physics principle employed - how many can you identify from the winning team?
Last summer I had the pleasure of meeting @AstroKatie while attending #EPlus2022 @Perimeter ...but I forgot to bring my copy of her book. This year at #oapt2023 I didn't make the same mistake twice!
Today in #SNC1W1 we explored the transit method for detecting exoplanets using flashlight stars, Styrofoam planets and the @phyphoxorg light app. Teacher resource from @Perimeter at bit.ly/3MxGycX
Don't throw away those Styrofoam exoplanets! You can turn them into moons 🌙 to show the different phases. Original resource can be found at jpl.nasa.gov/edu/teach/activ… #SNC1W1 #iteachphysics
Today in #SNC1W1 we explored stellar evolution. You can download the free resource from @Perimeter at bit.ly/3MxGycX
I am enjoying the space unit in Gr. 9 science. Modeling the expanding universe, a scavenger hunt through the cosmos, analyzing star spectra redshift and creating our own HR diagrams. Resources courtsey of @Perimeter and @cossettej #SNC1W1
