I’m off Twitter due to its current leadership. Find me at my blog, https://t.co/ymFXRaEYns.

"Relationships" in the context of teaching aren't one-to-one. They're many-to-many. https://t.co/8NnqTVwbzO

If I were asked to describe such a relationship, I'd say "the acceleration drops linearly with the mass." And then I'd probably sketch the graph so my point is clear. :-)

[JacobsPhysics @JacobsPhysics]

Geoff asked me to chime in because I'm an AP reader. Firstly, I've never (yet!) seen a question where this sort of graph needed to be described in words. I suspect we'd accept virtually all of the suggestions in this thread. 1/

Working on a CER question for AP1. What English prose to describe y=-x relationship? Negatively directly proportional? Decreasingly directly proportional? @kilroi22 @fnoschese @SecaurPhysics @TRegPhysics @BarnettDreyfuss @JacobsPhysics @MrJoeMilliano @phyzman @KimFreudenberg

Don't let high school students *revise* anything. Instead, make them start over. Tales of physics, engineering, art, and writing: https://t.co/jc0V3C91ac

Yup. Lab always takes longer than you think! https://t.co/NFQ2IenStG

This is one that I know I have struggled with. I got so frustrated with a class several years ago because they couldn't finish all of their data collection in a group after nearly 2 full (90min) classes. I was able to get the data by myself within 30 minutes.

@sldr4christ01 Yes - I’ll see you there! 😀

I'll be at NSTA in Chicago this weekend. Want to say hi? Here are a couple of options:

[JacobsPhysics @JacobsPhysics]

(2) Reply or DM here. I'll be around the conference most of the time on Friday and Saturday. I'd love to meet other physics people for coffee or lunch!

[JacobsPhysics @JacobsPhysics]

(1) Find me after Abigail Mills's presentation on Thursday. She's my colleague showing her interdisciplinary airfoils project, at 3:40pm in room W184a. I'll be there, then I'll be around afterward. Or...

Remember the 2021 AP1 paragraph problem about rolling/sliding down an incline? Milo made an amazing simulation, and I made a video about it. https://t.co/CwSjl1V8pU

Conceptual physics summer institute is half full. Join us online in July for sub-AP professional development! https://t.co/ieKcFLhNUS

Imprinting happens to ducklings. And physics students, too. https://t.co/MNIamc5MK9

Hanging out with @Ednathehippo in between grading sessions!

Confirmation that I am *awake* and ready to go live at 6:15 for Live Physics Time. We'll discuss the 2022 AP Physics 1 exam! https://t.co/6RWUdFsNgD

Live Physics Time to discuss the 2022 AP Physics 1 exam: Monday May 16, 6:15 am (or archived on the showreel)

@elqam Hi, Mustapha! I answered the comment you left on the blog. It’s under the CPSI post at https://t.co/ymFXRaEqxU.

[JacobsPhysics @JacobsPhysics]

Yes, we're doing the Conceptual Physics Summer Institute online again! July 16-17. Read here for more information, including how to register: https://t.co/ieKcFLhNUS

[JacobsPhysics @JacobsPhysics]

Confirmation that I am awake, and prepared to go live at 6:15am for Live Physics Time Morning Improv!

[JacobsPhysics @JacobsPhysics]

Plan for Monday's 6:15am show: Celebrating a 19th birthday at Chuck E Cheese, philosophy of judging Physics Fights, how to define impulse for conceptual students, and more!
