Truly blessed as a huband, father of five, and a physics modeling teacher.

@physicsramble I love the fact that your student made the simulation to try to make a point. What they can learn from it is that vector math and scalar math do not always work together.

[Hugh Ross @ForceBeWithHugh]

@physicsramble When your student took the Pythagorean sum of the horizontal and vertical velocities, they found the speed as a function of time (Which was not the vector velocity). Then they took the slope of that function. So the result was not acceleration.

@MsMagaryPhysics How about v=dt? Yes, let’s just integrate a distance-time graph while we’re at it.

@MrJoeMilliano Joe, what’s your starting point with energy? Finding these relationships in the lab requires some initial definition of energy or Work, right?

@SportsWagner Sorry to hear…One year later Mariah is now back playing lacrosse. Prayers for a swift recovery!

[Hugh Ross @ForceBeWithHugh]

@MissLaCoy Yes! But it seems to be morphing to “I got it at COSTCO”

@RobSpencer1 @fpoodry @ScienceDave Great progression Rob! I can see this as laying the groundwork for the Impulse-Momentum Theorem

[Hugh Ross @ForceBeWithHugh]

@RobSpencer1 Some things I use breakout sessions for:
1) 1-2 minute "Check your answer with each other"
2) Virtual whiteboard creation on G-slides where I can monitor progress. E.g., https://t.co/UM6oI66Hxx
3) Card sorts E.g.,

@RobSpencer1 @hoffmanscience I agree Rob. I’ll certainly encourage them use the quadratic solution once they can derive the equation from the graph.

[Hugh Ross @ForceBeWithHugh]

@hoffmanscience I also love this approach. Ss can understand up and down free-fall problems by dividing them into to a simple up problem and a simple "CA from rest" down problem. No quadratic equation hocus-pocus!

@hoffmanscience @fnoschese Or...

[Hugh Ross @ForceBeWithHugh]

@hoffmanscience @fnoschese I'm marking some assessment today and know exactly what you mean. Ss may need something like this:

Moving into hybrid learning @GuerinCatholic #modphys Our Zoom students joined us in predicting when the red buggy would catch up with the blue buggy. Success! https://t.co/h5doYhStPS

The grade that a student earns in an individual class has a minimal, almost nonexistent effect on their future.

The knowledge, skills, and understanding that they gain from it can and will change their life.

Keeping with this message is the best way to promote integrity.

@FulmerChem @pivot_is I thought you had to purchase individual seats for each student. Am I missing something?

[Matthew Blackman @UniverseAndMore]

Someone get this guy into a physics class!

@RobSpencer1 I downloaded all my smart notebook files to a PDF. I edit those files using Adobe. I use the notability app on my iPad with the PDF files and it works great. Perhaps your tablet can use notability?

@DeaconRWagner @CarolWagner521 Wow!
