Teaching is more than a job. It's an identity. 💙
Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek to every science educator in the AMTA community. You showed up for your students this year, and we see you. Thank you. Today and every day. #ModelingInstruction #ScienceTeachers #ThankATeacher

Doing this tomorrow! I shockingly can always search for that one @cossettej lesson/activity tweet when I remember “I think I saw something I wanted to do!” Thanks for always posting, Joe! #iTeachPhysics

[Joe Cossette @cossettej]

I loved watching groups discuss their way through this introduction to energy production today. Lots of thoughtful conversations driven by their previous experiences and awareness. #iteachphysics

A teacher shared this response that I like, and I think kids see it:

It’s similar to “what does weight lifting have to do with my ability to pass in volleyball?”

While not literally the same skill, it applies and makes a difference.

@helenrey @adamboxer1 Oh - interesting! Thanks 😊

[Jill 🌱 @ScienceSprout]

@helenrey @adamboxer1 @helenrey - you have me curious! What is the process for renewal/non renewal in the UK?

[Jill 🌱 @ScienceSprout]

@dailystem @KatyDornbos Oh, fun idea @KatyDornbos ! How would you expect the laser to scatter? Tiny holes in the center foil? And - is it zinc sulfide? Either way, love the visual & idea!

@KatyDornbos @ChemEd2025 @aserkin @ChemEd2019 @cossettej I did AMTA multi-week workshops for physics & chem, but nothing other than those intensive courses (my first physics one was back in the summer of 2010). I consider it my most valuable physics PD. And, we have our Chicagoland @PhysicsNW + groups around here that I still attend!

[Jill 🌱 @ScienceSprout]

@KatyDornbos @ChemEd2025 @aserkin @ChemEd2019 @cossettej They make the HS teacher camp 1 of the days in the summer to cram all of the very practical high school classroom stuff in. So, if you go to any day - that’s the one to go to. But, just a different vibe compared to ChemEd 👩🏻‍🔬

[Jill 🌱 @ScienceSprout]

@KatyDornbos @ChemEd2025 @aserkin @ChemEd2019 @cossettej I remember getting some great pedagogical pieces from there, but quite pricey for no “materials” cost. The presentations during the main meeting were much shorter, powerpoint style. So, perhaps not as much of a variety?

@sorensensci How did I forget the Pumpkinator from @pchemstud 🎃

[Jill 🌱 @ScienceSprout]

@IBchemmilam @RoySocChem Agreed! I saw it last year from @pchemstud & it was a hit! https://t.co/TDiI2VnQtM

[Jill 🌱 @ScienceSprout]

@sorensensci @KarlCraddock is it the self carving pumpkin that you like? https://t.co/wDX95D10kJ

@KatyDornbos @NATS_Science That’s an amazing shirt … makes me want to sign up! 🤣

This is really cool #chemistry
