Learning the phases of mitosis, one cookie at a time #snc2d #iteachscience

Just another run-of-the-mill day teaching at the @OntScienceCtr. #iflscience #hydrogen

Encouraging students to study for exams because if you understand the laws of physics, you can bend them to your will #iteachphysics #gravity @exploratorium

The clouds parted for a Total Eclipse of the Heart today at @RBGCanada's Hendrie Park. Great to see cheering crowds, the streetlights come on, the Bailey's Beads, and a 10 degree temperature drop. Best field trip ever for @OntScienceCtr Science School! #EclipseSolar2024

Discovering fun physics toys buried deep inside the @OntScienceCtr. A frictionless addition to my laws of motion lesson! #thirdlaw #sph4u #iteachphysics vm.tiktok.com/ZMjGgWoD8/

Very excited to be joining the @OntScienceCtr for this school year to teach physics at their Science School! Looking forward to learning lots of new things, playing with liquid nitrogen, and spreading a love of science. I hypothesize it will be a great year! #sph4u #onted

Calling all teachers! You're invited to a FREE TEACHER TOUR of ZooShare Biogas Plant, located next to the Toronto Zoo, on Tuesday September 26 from 4:30-6:30. Drop by to see what the GTA's best renewable energy field trip looks like! zooshare.ca/teachers-night/ #onted #scichat #stem

Excited to join @ZooShare as Chair of Education Committee. Have been long-time fan of this project, now looking forward to sharing it with classrooms. If anyone is looking for a one-of-a-kind field trip, send me a message! #onted #scichat #stemeducation zooshare.ca

Congratulations to members of SJPII's first ever EnduroChallenge Cycling Club, and the culminating ride of the season: 31km from East Scarborough all the way to the CN Tower! What a great spin! @TCDSB #bikelife @SJPIIAthletics #bikeclub

Thanks to former student Troy who brought grad research Spot robot to physics class today. His lab works to use robots to monitor critical equipment in places too far away or dangerous for humans. Can also be used to get students out of the halls! @TCDSB #STEM @BostonDynamics

Annual egg drop challenge with grade 12 physics students. Some new records set for design ingenuity but also for number of eggs accidentally broken before competition time. Future engineers, but perhaps not future safety engineers. #sph4u #STEM #eggdrop @TCDSB

Thanks to @opg and @NAYGN_Durham for presenting about nuclear power to our physics students today. You could feel the energy radiating through the room! #sph4u #iteachphysics @TCDSB #NuclearEnergy

Still a few days until the competition, but the gr. 12 physics bottle rockets have come a long way. Final mark is calculated mass times hang time, requiring teams to push their designs to the absolute limits of bottle rocket engineering @TCDSB #STEMeducation #bottlerockets #sph4u

Grade 12 physics students testing bottle rocket designs in the wind and snow: “We have lingered long enough on the shores of this cosmic ocean” -Carl Sagan #bottlerocket #iteachphysics @IFLScience @TCDSB

Just finished decorating the physics classroom: students really appreciated the gravity of this addition. #sph4u #iteachphysics #newton

Using the equations of motion to measure reaction times in physics class. Either we encountered some measurement errors, or we have some superhuman brain synapses in this class! #sph4u #physics #reactiontime

Thanks for a good session @SarahGallah, and so glad there were two of us to handle that room full of unruly teachers! @TCDSB #loyoltcdsbtsu @NatGeoEducation

Braving the cold and the snow to learn about restorative ecology, right in our school’s backyard! Thanks for bringing @TheMeadoway to life for us @TRCA_HQ! #TCDSB #themeadoway #tcdsbel @Allen2Learning

Penguins commute back and forth between nest and sea along these little “penguin highways”. We tried to keep our distance, but on a few occasions we got stuck in “penguin traffic”. #antarctica #penguin #gentoopenguin @LindbladExp @NatGeoEducation

If Mr.Colautti pulls a boat with 25 N of force at an angle of 5 degrees, but the boat does not move, how much work has been done? #antarctica #fastice #workproblems #sph4u #lindbladexpeditions
