maybe something like this, discussing Feynman diagrams? www.ias.edu/ideas/2009/a...

Or maybe, if your Ss are good at decomposing vectors, make up a problem with a zillion forces? I see this issue too, and i think AI is to blame

I have students rotate their hair sample so they can infer the cross section shape β€” leads to valuable discussions about different types of hair and hair discrimination

β€ͺA gift for science teachers in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ: I wrote a 45-minute lesson plan based on MLK Jr's Nobel Prize speech in which students contrast the pace of scientific/technological progress with the pace of moral justice 🎒

3. conventions and notation πŸ§‘β€πŸ«
4. worked examples πŸ§‘β€πŸ«
5. craft and choose learning goal πŸ‘ͺ
6. write example problems πŸ‘ͺ
7. homework, tests πŸ§‘β€πŸŽ“
