#ITeachPhysics I've added animation to my #desmos "potential energy function" graph. A few premade U(x) functions are available, or you can write your own!

Part of my start-of-the-year survey for students is a spot for them to share any image that holds some sort of meaning for them and explain it to me. I get a lot of pet photos.

This student doesn't have a dog of their own but says, "I love seeing dogs." Relatable!!

One of my favorite things about any Earth Defense Force game is the ridiculous weapon descriptions, some of which go on for multiple paragraphs of nonsense. The very strongest and weakest weapons especially are hilarious.

Here is the first flamethrower in newly-released #EDF6 hahaha. #VideoGames

Finally watched this video that's been in my recommendations for a few weeks. It was neat and funny! Crossover of my interests in video games and #EarthScience. Unsurprisingly, the games' water doesn't make sense overall, but it still has many realistic subtleties!

One of my summer projects was to update and catalog many of the #Desmos graphs/sims I use when #ITeachPhysics. This page shows what I've made and has permalinks to any future updates of the graphs. I'll still post here about new ones and updates of course!
