I’ve been a teacher since 2020.
I’ve worked in 4 schools.
In 2 of those 4, I’ve questioned if I wanted to stay in teaching.
In 2 of those 4 schools, I’ve loved every waking moment of teaching.
Environment plays a pivotal role in your enjoyment of teaching.

🧵 How I* teach gravitational potential energy using the Phet Skatepark simulation
*A physics non-specialist
1. Highlight the variables that can be changed (friction, gravity, mass, skater). Show the energy graph.
2. Choose the cat (why not?!) and make it a normal mass (5kg).
