@BonniDubois Come on over! My students will gladly calculate it for you!

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

AP Physics 1 designed experiments to determine their own horsepower.

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

AP Physics 2 used lasers, and the concepts of diffraction and interference, to determine the width of a piece of their own hair in lab today. #PhysicalOptics #iteachphysics

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

Students did a great job building trebuchets in class. We’ll be using their devices to study projectile motion and energy over the next few days.

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

My AP Physics 2 students were noticing some patterns involving concave and convex mirrors. Look at the index card...based on the projected image of the candle, can you guess which type of mirror Ali was using in her investigation? How can you tell? #optics #iteachphysics

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

@Mteguis Wait.. does this mean you’re not taking AP Physics 3 with me next year?! Jk, you’re the best! Congrats on all of your hard work, Melina! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

@MsMagaryPhysics Yes! This is exactly what I need in my life! Thank you for sharing!

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

When do my students figure out centripetal force and acceleration? When pigs fly. 🐷

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

We ended our unit on mechanical equilibrium with a spaghetti bridge competition and Brandon and Angel took home the win! Their bridge held 21 times its own weight! Not bad for a box of spaghetti and little hot glue. So proud of all of my Project Physics students! 🙌🏼 #physicsisfun

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

@EPrussman That sounds like the best day ever! Lol Thank you so much, Eric!!!

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

@MrsKADunn Congrats @MrsKADunn!! 💕

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

A little motion graph practice never hurt anyone.. probably. #physicsisfun

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

We used Pascal’s Principle to “pop” the bottom off of this bottle! #physicsisfun

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

@SHRHS_APES @SHms_wade @MrDuffy306 I’m going to need to see the double slit cat experiment to make some conclusions here.

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

@mathteacher1729 While discussing their prior knowledge, they said they had heard that a person could lie on a bed of nails. So they predicted what would happen to the balloon. But it’s still pretty cool to see it with your own eyes and realize there is no trickery involved.. just physics.

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

P.S. I got this miniature bed of nails setup through @FlinnScientific!

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

We had some fun with the bed of nails demo and learned a little bit about pressure today! #physicsisfun

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

How do you get your students to understand atmospheric pressure when it’s all around them all the time? You vacuum seal them, obviously. #physicsisfun #underpressure

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

@msgriffs227 This is fantastic! Love it. 😂

[Kristi Jones @SHMissChris]

Over here in physics we jump right in on the 1st day! Mystery Volume/Density Lab for AP2 and the Pi Lab for AP1! Just look at this teamwork! 😍🙌🏼🙌🏼
