Can your students explain why the smoky East-coast sky is orange? Back in Sept 2020 when SF skies turned orange, we pivoted to modeling it in freshman physics, using data from @paullric of @ucdavis. Phenomena-based science for relevancy & authentic learning #Iteachphysics #ngss

Using momentum to teach mathematical thinking in physics, why didn’t I never think of that?! In the past I gave them the equation and called substituting in “problem solving.” Know better, do better. #openscied #ITeachPhysics

And Cyberstart America, free for high schoolers! Because we are currently short 770,000 #cybersecurity professionals in the US @CyberStartUSA #great #Careers #highschool #futureofwork #STEMeducation @MrAEmmons @MSDK12
Yesterday I received 21 messages asking me how to get started with cybersecurity. Here's 16 platforms to learn cybersecurity on: 1. CyberSecLabs 2. TryHackMe 3. Cybrary 4. OverTheWire 5. TCM Security 6. Root Me

Weed-out courses exist in #highschool too... what message are we giving 15 yo's when the definition of success in science is so narrow? Our #1 job should be helping students find success. Teachers, if students are dropping out of your class, change what you are doing. @MrAEmmons
Instead, let’s ease pipeline shortages by developing more equitable measures for success

Engineering is the most versatile degree you can earn and will open the most doors in your career. The Federal Reserve just backed me up on this. Data show few engineers would choose a different field of study, far fewer than any other degree. https://t.co/7MRvEVspIv
