Almost forgot! Today is the 6th anniversary of my last day ever as a paid teacher. I was (supply) teaching a very nice group of kids, and the voice on the P.A. was telling them to take all their books home for the March Break, as it was going to be extended by a couple of weeks... tentatively…

The USA is starting needless conflicts, there's an uprising against an occupying force, and I'm terrified for everyone I care about and here in Ireland, I start teaching ethics soon. I just requested approval for my first study on chemical education. We survive on small joys. #ITeachChem ⚗️ #ChemEd
I'm pretty sure Molecular Visions changed the plastic for their model kits because I have never seen so many broken pieces as we've had this fall

With the Molarity simulation, students can qualitatively and quantitatively explore the relationships between the amount of solute, the solution's volume, and its #concentration. https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/molarity/ #iteachchemistry #chemed
Let's build a nucleus from protons and neutrons, and discover the effect on atomic number and species.
Determine how different decays change the nucleons in the nucleus.
Discover stability and decay trends in the isotopes. #iteachphysics #chemed

Build a Nucleus

How does changing the number of neutrons or protons affect the nuclear species, the stability of a nucleus, and its possible decay mechanisms? Explore different species, and learn about the common decay paths! Visualize these through the chart of the nuclides and discover the inner energy levels of the nucleus.

PhET Interactive Simulations

Founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman, the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science simulations. PhET sims are based on extensive education <a {{0}}>research</a> and engage students through an intuitive, game-like environment where students learn through exploration and discovery.

What's your favorite general science fact? Mine is that cherry and almond flavors originate from the same molecule primarily, benzaldehyde, and concentration effects which flavor is tasted in foods. 🧪🥽
