Physics to Tibetan monks, Day 5: Atomic physics and radioactive decay. Students used pennies to model the half-life of an element, collect data for how many heads are left after each half-life, and graph the results! #PhysicsClass #PhysicsEd #ETSI @judybeck25

[Caitlin Hay @CaitlinHay17]

Fun with bubbles! Our monk students learned about thin film interference by blowing bubbles in front of the Sera Mey Science Center. #PhysicsClass #PhysicsEd #Physics #ETSI @judybeck25

Physics to Tibetan monks, day 3: light emission, light spectra, and diffraction. Students made pinhole cameras, played with solar beads, and explored infrared light. #PhysicsClass #PhysicsEd #ETSI

[Caitlin Hay @CaitlinHay17]

Physics to Tibetan monks, day 2: More light! Fun with diffraction, polarizers, and Young’s Double Slit. Students explored polarizers with glares, wax paper, and corn syrup. #PhysicsClass #PhysicsEd

Clicker Questions with Tibetan monks! #PhysicsClass #PhysicsEd

[Caitlin Hay @CaitlinHay17]

Physics to Tibetan monks, Day 1: reflection, refraction, mirrors, and lenses. Students made #telescopes and measured distances between lenses to show that the ideal telescope has a separation of the sum of focal lengths. #PhysicsEd #PhysicsClass

The longest my shadow will be at Solar Noon all year. On the Equator, the Solstice is the day of the longest shadows. #SharingOurShadows

[Caitlin Hay @CaitlinHay17]

Get excited because tomorrow is the Solstice! This is the shortest day of the year for the Southern Hemisphere, and the longest in the Northern. For us on the Equator, it represents the day that our shadow at Solar Noon is the longest! #SharingOurShadows

I am so glad Vivi's fourth grade class enjoyed the Sun Class! Thanks for letting us join you! https://t.co/jzX9PFGopd

Hands on learning about the importance of the Sun!! Thanks María Belén, an upper school physics student for a fantastic lesson all about the sun and solar ovens!! ☀️🌞😎 #solarovens #smores #MenorLearns @ColegioMenorUIO @CaitlinHay17

Science literacy empowers you to know when someone else is full of shit.

Students using their knowledge of pendulums to create a video about conservation of energy in #PhysicsClass. #MenorLearns

Presenting: Graphs from the 2018 Vernal Equinox! Check out how close the shadow gets to 0m and 90 degrees at solar noon (12:21 pm) on the Equator in Quito, Ecuador! #SharingOurShadows #SpringEquinox

[Caitlin Hay @CaitlinHay17]

Thanks for the well wishes @NASAJPL! Check out my Equinox project with students on the Equator at #SharingOurShadows #PhysicsClass

[Caitlin Hay @CaitlinHay17]

Clinton's 6th graders launching their Solar Energy unit by experiencing the Equinox! #SharingOurShadows #MenorLearns

[Caitlin Hay @CaitlinHay17]

Colegio Menor students are enjoying the sun on the Spring Equinox. Make sure to wear sunscreen! #SharingOurShadows #MenorLife

[Caitlin Hay @CaitlinHay17]

Happy Equinox y'all! All set up for a day in the sun. #SharingOurShadows #SpringEquinox

[Caitlin Hay @CaitlinHay17]

Vernal equinox tomorrow! Check out https://t.co/XyEfoR67pB to learn all about it. I will post pictures so stay tuned! #SharingOurShadows

Hammer balancing to learn about #torque in #PhysicsClass! Students identified torques, found the center of mass, and calculated forces.

[Caitlin Hay @CaitlinHay17]

@FBarrett yes. I agree with this so much.
