#BlackHoles Astronauts appear weightless not because gravity is absent, but because both the spacecraft and its crew are in free fall around the Earth. By sharing the same acceleration, the sensation of weight disappears inside the spacecraft. #iTeachPhysics #Physics

Got to see this in person yesterday on a field trip to GE Healthcare. Got tours of the MRI, CT and Ultrasound facilities. Shout out @orzelc.bsky.social for getting me in contact with someone there. #ITeachPhysics

The Artemis launch highlighting the bright orange flames coming out of the rocket engines
An interesting fact about Artemis is that the flames coming out of the rocket are bright orange but in most TV cameras the pixels saturate so it looks white. This photograph is closer to what you would see with the human eye. #ngss #iteachphysics
Did this AP Physics rubric really award full credit even if the final answer was wrong?
It did. Here's the reasoning. #iTeachPhysics

Day 134 Physical Sci - did the crater lab with fine dirt, marble, steel ball, and bocce ball. Great weather today so able to do it outside! Graphed data in @desmos.com

In the coming months, we will be sharing more about what it means to be a member-driven organization and a professional home for physics education. We invite you to be part of that conversation and stay connected with the community that defines AAPT. #PhysicsTeachers #ITeachPhysics #AAPT
#Bioelectromagnetism Clinical magnetotherapy uses controlled magnetic fields. Pseudomagnetotherapy uses attractive words and undefined parameters. #Physics #iTeachPhysics
#ExpandingUniverse The idea that we don't occupy a privileged place in the universe is supported by these symmetries. From another distant galaxy, the overall appearance of the cosmos would be statistically similar to what we observe from Earth. #physics #iTeachPhysics #Cosmology
I am super excited to announce that Brad Conrad will be the Keynote speaker at #CosmicPathwaysNYC this year.

#RF-EMFexposure Every wireless connection relies on electromagnetic waves. From smartphones to satellites, radiofrequency fields make it possible to transmit data across long distances without physical cables. #physics #iTeachPhysics
Day 133 Physical Sci - how do we know how planets form? Focused on craters today. Prepping simple crater lab, ran out of sand so took some time for students to dig out some fine dirt

Day 133 Physics - Started an Archimedes Buoyancy lab which will continue tmrw. Today was a lot of problem solving with setting equipment up & reviewing how overflow beakers work.
Began with an intro of what weighs more, @rhettallain.bsky.social did a great video on IG #iteachphysics #teachphysics

#Theremin It became popular in science-fiction soundtracks, although it also has classical and experimental repertoire performed in concert halls. #Physics #iTeachPhysics
#ExpandingUniverse If the universe were not homogeneous on large scales, our cosmological laws would be much more complex. The observed regularity suggests that the cosmos evolved coherently from a common initial state. #Physics #iTeachPhysics
#SpeedOfLight The concept of black hole entropy raises very intriguing questions about the fate of the information consumed by these enigmatic cosmic entities. Does it disappear? Can it be recovered? Or are you just suffering from increased clutter? #physics #iTeachPhysics
In an amazing feat of writing, a student managed to recycle 28% of their projectile motion lab report into their report on the lab we did to measure the vacuum permittivity. #ITeachPhysics 🎢

Day 132 Physics - continued density with focus on finding density of irregular objects. Started with rock identification based on density. Then asked if soda cans are made from pure aluminum, and challenge of determining their volume #iteachphysics #teach180
Day 132 Physical Sci - Gave a reading on the formation of the solar system and broke down the steps paragraph by paragraph. Students cut out steps and arranged them in notebooks as we went through the process. Watched a clip from history channel #iteachphysics #teach180
With all eyes on the #Artemis mission it seems only fitting we look at our Moon paper model! Make it to learn about the light side, the dark side & the inside! Find out more here: buff.ly/Zz9WjnX

Are you going to be at NSTA Anaheim Apr. 16-18? I am! The sessions are, um, rather buzzword heavy. So I'd love to meet up with some physics teachers informally. If you'll be there and want to talk shop over coffee, get in touch w/me, contact info via woodberry dot org. #iTeachPhysics
