#APChemAtNTHC critically thinking last week at New Tech High @ Coppell: --> PASCO scientific pH probes & #SparkVue software --> lab equip to effectively mix/hold/dispense --> buffer region discussion Overall goal? Determine if selected indicators were qualitatively accurate #NTHCLegacy

Our New Tech High @ Coppell learners were invited back as evaluators for ChemMatters this year, a quarterly publication from American Chemical Society / AACT. December's themed articles were around the topic of LIGHTING UP OUR WORLD - metals, materials, polymers. #NTHClegacy

AACT Haley Bilbray #ChemAtNTHC #NTHCLegacy Big shoutout to the Tiny Matters podcast on Frostbite! Great episode to listen to especially during the cold months.Great addition to our chemistry class!

Join us at 6 Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday! Hear more about New Tech from many perspectives. Monday at West (LGI Room) Tuesday at North (Cafeteria) Thursday at New Tech (Cafe)

Started semester in #APChemAtNTHC w/ iodine clock reaction. Sometimes a #kinetics lab doesn't work correctly the 1st time but we problem solved --> culprit was starch solution not truly being 2%... Magical in the end at least! #nthclegacy #apchem #chemistrylab New Tech High @ Coppell

Second to last lab before review season for #APChemtAtNTHC focused on thermochemistry! Ss chose from coffee cups & larger Styrofoam calorimeters for Hess's law. More consistent data from larger calorimeters perhaps due to lids? #nthclegacy #apchem #chemistrylab New Tech High @ Coppell

#ChemAtNTHC #PrBL Learners acting as marine chemists to determine effect of ocean acidity on seashells. Choice in acidity levels, procedure, & display of results. Next up - titrate their acidic solution! #nthclegacy New Tech High @ Coppell

#ChemAtNTHC special guest today - UTeach Dallas student from #ProjectBasedInstruction course at @ut_dallas coming for observations at New Tech High @ Coppell before leading #PBL project this semester. Even helped out w/ today's #OceanMysteryPrBL titration lab! #mentoring #NTHCLegacy

Y'all...registration for #chemed2025 opens on SATURDAY!!! We're SO EXCITED to welcome chemistry educators from around the world for 4 days of learning, collaboration, and sharing of amazing practices! Learn more at learn.mines.edu/chemed2025

Last #APChemtAtNTHC lab before review season! Built electrochemical cells to 👀 @ voltages, reduction potentials, & half reactions. Problem solving trying to use multimeter. Lab quote: "the multimeter is just measuring sig figs" *face palm* #nthclegacy #apchem New Tech High @ Coppell

Spent today w/ Biology facilitator Mr. Vuong to visit @CISD_Science pulse lab/station rotation model/data table generating & New Tech project launch & K/NTKs. New Tech High @ Coppell facilitators are always learning, ideating, connecting, & creating. #NTHCLegacy #CISDscience #mentoring

I recently finished a sketchnote in Haley Bilbray’s class on the article “The Frozen Past,” which is about ice cores. I use ChemMatters in my chemistry classroom to learn and understand real-world applications of chemistry concepts. #ChemAtNTHC #NTHCLegacy AACT

Last day w/ UTeach Dallas PBI team from UT Dallas. They developed and facilitated a calorimetry project for New Tech High @ Coppell #ChemAtNTHC. Today, learners presented their final products to these college students. #projectbasedlearning @CISD_Science #mentoring #NTHCLegacy

#ChemAtNTHC learners will be using research from these ChemMatters magazine articles to create poems next week in prep for #ChemistsCelebrateEarthWeek. Illustrations will be painted w/ paint synthesized in chem class! #stoichiometry #chemicalreactions #NTHCLegacy New Tech High @ Coppell

Whew, finished synthesizing paint & making illustrated poems just in time for #ChemistsCelebrateEarthWeek Earth Day. This was a project over many weeks, so #ChemAtNTHC learners presented their journey from beginning to end. New Tech High @ Coppell @CISD_Science #NTHCLegacy

#ChemAtNTHC asked just how acidic were our acidic environments from Part 1 of our Ocean Mystery PrBL. Learners worked in pairs to titrate with sodium hydroxide for accurate pH readings at equivalence. Grateful for the pH probes this year! #CISDScience New Tech High @ Coppell #NTHCLegacy

Click play to see #NewTechOutdoorClub adventuring to CedarHillStatePark! New Tech High @ Coppell learners dreamed up the entire event, adjusted when the first date got rained out, and planned a day of fun to recharge before testing season. See y'all next school year! #NTHCLegacy

Three fabulous New Tech High @ Coppell facilitators on our way to Oakland to do some learning with New Tech Network. Thank you for this opportunity to bring back the energy and learning from #NTAC2025. #NTHCLegacy #alwayslearning #professionaldevelopment #projectbasedlearning

#Year12 in education, #Year6 with New Tech High @ Coppell Started with meeting NTH@C NTC NTCs, designing and leading Sophomore First Week Project, and setting up classroom! Check insta msbchemistry for more details

In #ChemAtNTHC, we built connections in hexagon activity and practiced lab equipment/oral communication with "I have, who has". In #APChemAtNTHC, we designed a model air bag to review material from honors chem. #FlexFriday session playing Bananagrams to relax New Tech High @ Coppell
