Happy Thanksgiving from room 120!! I’m thankful for my hardworking students, the best coworkers around and Vernier probeware! #APPhysics #WishbonePhysics

You just have to believe... in math and quantum mechanics! 🎅bostonglobe.com/metro/2012/12/…

Hey Physics Theory students, I wonder why the moon looks so big tonight?🤔 I bet you can figure it out (since we've been talking about orbits in class). Bonus points if you can tell me why tomorrow! #SuperMoon

Scientists have obtained the first image of a black hole, using Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87. The image shows a bright ring formed as light bends in the intense gravity around a black hole that is 6.5 billion times more massive than the Sun

Look how amazingly talented Gina Yu is! ❤️ So lucky to have a Gina Yu mural in my classroom, inspiring all of my future physics students to not give up when something gets challenging! THANK YOU, Gina!!

Room 120 is ready to go!! Looking forward to meeting my new physics students tomorrow! 😊

Over here in physics we jump right in on the 1st day! Mystery Volume/Density Lab for AP2 and the Pi Lab for AP1! Just look at this teamwork! 😍🙌🏼🙌🏼

How do you get your students to understand atmospheric pressure when it’s all around them all the time? You vacuum seal them, obviously. #physicsisfun #underpressure

We used Pascal’s Principle to “pop” the bottom off of this bottle! #physicsisfun

A little motion graph practice never hurt anyone.. probably. #physicsisfun

We ended our unit on mechanical equilibrium with a spaghetti bridge competition and Brandon and Angel took home the win! Their bridge held 21 times its own weight! Not bad for a box of spaghetti and little hot glue. So proud of all of my Project Physics students! 🙌🏼 #physicsisfun

When do my students figure out centripetal force and acceleration? When pigs fly. 🐷

My AP Physics 2 students were noticing some patterns involving concave and convex mirrors. Look at the index card...based on the projected image of the candle, can you guess which type of mirror Ali was using in her investigation? How can you tell? #optics #iteachphysics

Students did a great job building trebuchets in class. We’ll be using their devices to study projectile motion and energy over the next few days.

AP Physics 1 designed experiments to determine their own horsepower.

AP Physics 2 used lasers, and the concepts of diffraction and interference, to determine the width of a piece of their own hair in lab today. #PhysicalOptics #iteachphysics
