I want to change lives. Physics Teacher. Math Lover. Mom to the next great architect. My thoughts are my own.

I know I don’t tweet often, but when a genuine light of a human being needs some help, I can’t help but spread this plea in every way I know how.

@karalu79 Arizona and then Hawaii! 🌺

#advisoryfamily On the cards, we put where we’re going next and students wore their college t-shirts. I adore these humans. Can’t wait to see them shine. 🌟 🌺 #mhsdaily19

Today is a good day. APP1 took their exam today, Gen is hard at work with circuits labs, and I made breakfast casserole for my classes. All the prep work to get to this day is unbelievable, but well worth it. #mhsdaily19 #keepitup

[Emma Drewry @drewryphysics]

Also: SHM Demos ftw. #app1 #mhsdaily19 My ears were only ringing for a little while. 😂

Also... my senior advisory students learned a valuable lesson. Dorm cooking.

I love my job, guys. This is what it’s all about.

This week has been incredible for my #genphys kids. In a cabinet, I found bowling balls and a pin. On a whim, I built a ramp and designed this diabolical inquiry lab. The players: energy, momentum, impulse, friction, wonky floor (not intentional). The goal: hit the pin. 🎳

[Emma Drewry @drewryphysics]

THE SECOND IM NOT RECORDING.... a student captures this PERFECT HIT.

After presentations, each group had a set amount of time to set up and run as many trials as they could. It was exciting and heart wrenching and frustrating and amazing all at the same time. The high pitched scream at the end.. that was me. 🤭

Today, we presented our ideas. Focusing on problem solving over having all the right answers. The obstacles faced, how they mitigated the foreseeable problems, and overcame them. All the warm fuzzy feelings. 🥰 We incorporated coping strategies in this endeavor. #problemsolving

[Emma Drewry @drewryphysics]

Problem #2: They only got one trial, so they’d better have their physics down! (Or so they thought)

[Emma Drewry @drewryphysics]

Days of collaboration, brainstorming, and troubleshooting problems. Problem #1: I didn’t give them a scale capable of withstanding the tremendous weight of the ball. Enter: an engineered balance scale ⚖️

Look at these amazing kiddos. #teacherproud

Proving that an incoming ray and outgoing ray from a pane of glass are parallel. Student produces this. Trying to explain the beauty of simplicity. “One line is better than two lines” he says. Trying to explain the communication of proofs and intention of reducing confusion...
