Simon Poliakoff Added another nice rainbow photo to my collection yesterday when the low evening sun combined with a sudden rain shower. #ITeachPhysics

Nick Watkins Day 12 Physical Sci - introducing constant velocity and horizontal patterns with the tumble buggy lab. I have them measuring velocity vs time rather than distance. I use the vernier motion detectors so they can see both Dt and vt graphs side by side and draw connections #iteachphysics #teach180
Nick Watkins Day 12 Physics - analyzed our free fall videos in video analysis. Went over how to set points of origin, and frames of reference. Much more self-directed this lab otherwise. #iteachphysics #teach180
Dan Schroeder Just learned that Peter Scott, prof. emeritus of physics at UCSC, died last Oct. at 91. In the 1970s he and William Burke wrote an unpublished text booklet called Special Relativity Primer. I got my hands on a copy in 1981 and couldn't put it down. RIP. #iTeachPhysics web.archive.org/web/20250504...
W. Brian Lane (he/him), PhD I have amazing #ITeachPhysics and #TTRPG news to share! Adventures with Emmy (AwE), a STEM education tabletop roleplaying game, has been AWARDED FUNDING by the National Science Foundation. In AwE, mathematician and physicist Emmy Noether invites you to learn science by exploring imaginative worlds.
Steve-o Stonebraker I occasionally post in #ITeachPhysics spaces about the simulation site Javalab.Org by DongJoon Lee. Today I stumbled across this sim of his with a hilarious cartoon strongman to illustrate the very high tension needed to suspend a weight from a nearly-horizontal string: javalab.org/en/addition_...

Nick Watkins Day 11 Physics - Free fall lab using #verniervideoanalysis. 1st lab was scaffolded and this is more self-directed. Dropped balls off the stadium and will develop model to predict free fall times at short drop heights. #iteachphysics #teach180
