After our last assignment (gr 12 organic chem), I had students do a self-assessment: when did they get the work done, what would they do differently, and what were they proud of. Their responses were pretty insightful, especially the last one. #cohort21 #vc_learns

It's all about growth! I'm not comparing Michael's lab report to Jordan's. I'm comparing Michael's 3rd lab report to his 2nd. But that doesn't mean Michael and Jordan can't push each other.
Let the competition drive you, not define you! #cohort21 #vc_learns

New project for my #SCH4U students: Scientist of the Week. Scientists must be from marginalized communities (BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, #WomenInSTEM, etc.) First up: Mary Golda Ross. #vc_learns #Cohort21 #sciencerules

Yesterday I noticed some of my grade 10 science students playing a game in class. They divided into teams and scored points for giving correct answers. They cheered for their teammates. I couldn't be happier about this. #vc_learns

I was entertained, educated, and inspired by the latest @veritasium video https://t.co/bGrGT0x1Ai
For less than the cost of my cell phone bill, I can offset all of my carbon emissions with @project_wren ... and you can too! https://t.co/24lg6hS6IS

Everyone talks about students and teachers on a #snowday but how about bus drivers? Imagine having the lives of 40 children in your hands when the roads are unsafe.

Hey #sciencetwitter what are some of your favourite acronyms and mnemonics? Mine is for the stages of the cell cycle (interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis): I Peed Myself At The Church. #cohort21

Good luck to all my fellow teachers going back to school! Remember how #COVID19 spreads, and let's do our part to keep everyone safe! (source: Gov't of Canada)

Happy #DestinationDay @VC_Online
Congratulations to the #ClassOf2020
Where are you headed in the fall? @queensu perhaps?

[Mr Bornstein @Mr_Bornstein]

When it's chemistry lab day, you wear a bow tie, your @BillNye socks, and draw a flow chart on the board. #sciencerules #vc_learns
