My friend Judy has created a list of fantastic strategies for engaging students during online instruction. Highly recommended reading for anyone teaching online right now.

[Stefan Merchant Ph.D. @Stefan_Merchant]

@JMWearing Those are some GREAT strategies! Can't wait to try them.

One of my students did a thing called "Bookwidgets" for Energy and Matter in Grades 6-8. It is awesome! Check it out at https://t.co/zmcoaIjHiC

A cool science activity you can do at home for Grade 7 and up. It is about cell membranes, but be forewarned - it uses soap bubbles, so things may get wet!

One of my students made a great YouTube video (and activity sheet) about cell membranes. It is a lab you can do at home with soap bubbles! https://t.co/bkA2IW3NMg

My science curriculum class created activities for Grade 7/8 science that could be done at home. I will tweet out one activity per day. Feel free to share and distribute! The first one is a nature walk. Be sure to practice social distancing if you do it!

Hello Twitterverse, I am about to start teaching a #physics #education course. What do you think is critical for beginning physics teachers to learn?
