I love that I can use @phetsims.bsky.social in @wayground.bsky.social ! I love that there's some already made simulations and question sets that I can use as a base for activities and edit to fit my needs in my classroom. @alanacolabella.bsky.social #letsfindaway

A student in a black hoodie and cargo pants leans over a lab table, writing notes. On the table are blenders, papers, and a calculator. The room is well-lit, with other students engaged in a science experiment, creating a focused atmosphere.

Hands adjusting cables and a sensor setup in a Styrofoam cup labeled "Dunkin' Donuts." Next to it, a beaker on a red hot plate visibly heating water.

A metal cylinder partially submerged in a white container filled with a water, there is a temperature probe secured by a clamp. The scene conveys a laboratory setting.

A TI-Nspire CX CAS calculator displays a temperature graph over time on its screen. The interface includes buttons and a central navigation pad.

Today in #ApChemistry we're determining specific heats of metals using our Nspires and Vernier Probes

Yup! Basket of various candies!!

I found snack foods to work very well for this activity, it's a better connection for the kids, the things that they interact with on daily basis. Also some of them this year were shocked to learn that every snack food that we tested was some form of corn

Hope to see you at the February APTeach session!

Incorporating a bit of experimental design with our calorimetry lab today (aka Mr. Burnett didn't explicitly tell them how to set up their equipment to best collect data) #APChemistry #ITeachChemistry #ScienceEducation #Chemistry #EduSky

A very old Wise Cheese Doodle, I don't but fresh food for the lab every year. Waste not want not. As long as they aren't fully rancid they still work great.

Post a ship that's not #StarTrek or #StarWars

Calorimetry day #APChemistry tomorrow. I had to double-check that my several-year-old food items still worked #ITeachChem #Teaching #EduSky

Moving at a quicker pace than usual in in #APChemistry this year. Here's hoping to be done with Unit 6 by the end of the month.

I have created an app to help students learn about emission and absorption spectra. Here is the link. I hope you find it useful 🌟

This is awesome!! I think I could figure out a way to incorporate this into some of my #Chemistrt classes too #ITeachChemistry

I'm sharing this with my depts physics teachers right now, these are awesome!!

Can't wait for this to night!

We had a 2hr delay today moving our quiz on the Combined Gas Law back by a day. Luckily @wayground.bsky.social makes it super easy to search up a topic and find some quick low stakes and challenging practice for my students to do!! #letsfindaway #Chemistry #ChemEdu #Education #Teaching

It's disheartening then students are struggling to answer 6 questions in a ~40 min time period. We did 2 days of guided practice as a class, the had one day of low stakes practice (with a 🗝 provided) prior to this. #ITeachChem #Chemistry #Education #ChemEd #EduSky

My students love seeing the class photo of their Qbits at the end of doing an assignment on @wayground.bsky.social along with practicing on their own so they can unlock more stuff for them!! @alanacolabella.bsky.social #letsfindaway

To be fair, as a teacher that's happening in my bag right now too -_-''

Are there any #Chemistry #teachers out there that can offer their thoughts/experience with Open Science Ed and how it preps kids for #APChemistry / College Chem #Education #EduSky

No problem! I'm sure I got the idea from somewhere online.

I love that @wayground.bsky.social tags activities with the different types of questions/methods that are used in them, it helps I want to make sure that I am varying the types of and styles of questions that I am asking in class. @alanacolabella.bsky.social #letsfindaway

That time of year for one of my favorite quick demos for Gas Laws #Chemistry #Physics #ITeachChem #Education #EduSky

Doing our intro to gas properties in General #Chemistry today! #iTeachChem #ChemEd #Education #EduSky
