As a "baby" teacher I participated in @Perimeter's teacher program, EinsteinPlus, and it transformed my teaching practice. Last week (18 years later) I had the privilege to be on the facilitation team at #EPLUS2024 with a great group of humans. My #physics ❤️ is full.

What a great group of teachers! Physics ❤️ is full.
Planck’s Play-Doh! 🟣 Calculating Planck’s constant with a circuit using Play-Doh as a variable resistor. Thanks for your passion @laura_pankratz and @MsTorriePhysics loved the lab. Such a great time at #eplus2024 @Perimeter

This week is off to a great start! @CSarkonak
Today is the kickoff for EinsteinPlus at PI! The one-week intensive workshop for high school teachers offers a unique opportunity for teachers to learn some of the latest developments in modern physics. This workshop is made possible by the support of Power Corporation of Canada.

Another successful Science Olympics Season in the books! Thank you @westernuScience @westernuPhysAst for a great day. The hilight for me was watching the @vicparkci Rube Goldberg Team launch a mini me at the end of their machine. ❤️

Day 2 of #IBGlobalConference #IBGC2023: The IB's approach to developments with AI. "This isn't about technology. It is about the education system" - Dr. Matt Glanville (Director of IB Assessment). Today we discussed some really tough but important questions.

You know what is an unexpected treat @TRIUMFLab? The 7 apple trees that are descendents of the apple tree at Sir Isaac Newton's home. The 6 outer trees represent the 6 sectors of the TRIUMF cyclotron magnet. #physics #iteachphysics

Yay @vicparkci Science Olympics team! What a great day. Thank you @westernuScience @westernuPhysAst
#ScienceOlympics back in action @westernuScience @westernuPhysAst #RubeGoldberg machine - the challenge: carry out a simple task in the most complicated way possible. Extra points for each different physics principle employed - how many can you identify from the winning team?

Last summer I had the pleasure of meeting @AstroKatie while attending #EPlus2022 @Perimeter ...but I forgot to bring my copy of her book. This year at #oapt2023 I didn't make the same mistake twice!

Today in #SNC1W1 we explored the transit method for detecting exoplanets using flashlight stars, Styrofoam planets and the @phyphoxorg light app. Teacher resource from @Perimeter at bit.ly/3MxGycX

Don't throw away those Styrofoam exoplanets! You can turn them into moons 🌙 to show the different phases. Original resource can be found at jpl.nasa.gov/edu/teach/activ… #SNC1W1 #iteachphysics

I am enjoying the space unit in Gr. 9 science. Modeling the expanding universe, a scavenger hunt through the cosmos, analyzing star spectra redshift and creating our own HR diagrams. Resources courtsey of @Perimeter and @cossettej #SNC1W1
