Impressed with Ss on this task - engaged with each other, invested in their work and demonstrating skills in their videos. Using AACT simulation, interactive slides and zoom breakout rooms. Ss picked partners. docs.google.com/presentation/d…

So crazy! 😬

This "reaction type" interactive slide activity worked well - took longer than one period - willing to sacrifice the time for rich conversation and learning! (reworked a pogil) docs.google.com/presentation/d…

Stoichiometry relay race in chemistry today! So much fun!

This school year has been very difficult and far from ideal for everyone, but calling it a “lost” or “wasted” year is an insult to educators and students who have worked harder than ever and accomplished amazing things. I think that I will look back on this year with pride.

Active engagement at its finest! ⚛️ Proud of our chemkids making and evaluating molecular models!

• Do what interests you the most. • Spend time with nature. • Ask questions. • Never stop learning. • Don't pay attention to what others think of you. • Read everyday. • Study hard. • Teach others what you know. • Make mistakes and learn. • It's Okay to not know things!

This is important! 🙌 📷 The Mind Unleashed

As this school year finally comes to an end, I am feeling a tremendous sense of gratitude for the most AMAZING colleagues whose patience & insight helped make this crazy journey more manageable than I ever thought possible. LHS You’re the best! 💗 20-21 is officially done! 🎉

A1: Lincoln High School in Rhode Island 800 students, chemistry and forensics and 30 years in education #chemedchat

I welcome everyone to the class, introduce myself, survey students for backgrounds and interests, talk about safety and engage them in a lab experience of some kind.

A3: I have traditionally done the milk and food coloring experiment to get students to start talking about particles and their movement. I may do skittles this year. Both are colorful, instagram worthy and engaging. Conversations about particles begin on day 1. #chemedchat

A6: Last year, I tried to keep common partners and allowed friend groups to keep them in a common pod as they were together outside of the school setting. Normally, I rotate, throughout the year based on performance, personalities and productivity. #chemedchat

A little Friday afternoon chromatography- always fun! Go Lions in the Lab!

Being productive in the Lion Block! ♥️ Our Lions!

Finding a little energy on a Friday afternoon! E = mcT Way to go Period B coolchem kids !

A little Friday pop rock fun - an IDEAL afternoon! PV=nRT

Rest In Peace Katie. A reminder that everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. If you can be anything in this world, be kind. Check on your friends, tell people you love them, and ask for help.

Feels different today - a positive energy we haven’t felt in just about two full years! So nice to see our students smile!

Chromatography in chemistry today! Engagement enhances learning! Go lions!
