Trends in the PT activity. All it takes is 3 different strength magnets and some index cards to represent the trends across a period and down a group #thinkingclassroom

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

The 2023 #NobelPrize in Chemistry rewards the discovery and development of quantum dots, nanoparticles so tiny that their size determines their properties.

These particles have unique properties and now spread their light from television screens and LED lamps. They catalyse chemical reactions and their clear light can illuminate tumour tissue for a surgeon.

Researchers have primarily utilised quantum dots to create coloured light. They believe that in the future quantum dots can contribute to flexible electronics, miniscule sensors, slimmer solar cells and perhaps encrypted quantum communication.

Awarding Rosalind Franklin a Nobel Prize posthumously for her role in DNA discovery is the honorable—and scientific—thing to do https://t.co/SaqP0DZUZG

I used to push myself too much before I took calculus.

Back then, I didn't know my limits.

A baby turtle being born.

Boop!

So taken by how this little one steps in to comfort her crying sister. Watch carefully and you’ll see that she models behaviors that have almost certainly been used to comfort and distract her during times of sadness.

She comes in close to make eye contact. She offers a playful boop on the nose to elicit a laugh. And then closes the deal with a much-needed hug.

In all things, babies learn from the examples set by others. It’s clear that this little one has some outstanding - and emotionally intelligent - role models. I’m betting that big sister is one of them.

Tomorrow Generals, we will begin closely monitoring tardies to school & class. Whether walking, biking, skating, driving….it’s important to be IN CLASS at 8:20 am and then on time each period. Circumstances you need to discuss? Email your counselor or administrator. 👍🏾
