Feeling bummed. My #foodchem class isn’t running next year because of enrollment.
So I guess you won’t be seeing as many pics next year

How do you use your magnetic elements in class? Today I used them to introduce limiting and excess reactants. Thanks, as always, to Doug Ragan for introducing me to the power of magnets in teaching.

Sad to report that no one on my commute on the T or commuter rail asked me about stoichiometry

Happy #nerdytshirtfriday Ask me about stoichiometry. @simplesciencetees

Can I share something great? I introduced BCA tables yesterday for mole->mole stoich calculations. Today I threw them a mass-> mass stoich & let them at it . So many students figured it out & got it. It was so cool hearing them talk about ratios & do the thinking. #iteachchem

New MBTA Commuter Rail schedules leave 5 min earlier in both the am and the pm. For some people, that's nothing - now I don't know if I can catch my train home and a 5:48 am train is just so painful.

As I’m up way too late for me, I want to
thank Amanda Horan for helping me think through & write an assignment/lab activity to introduce stoich. I’m so lucky to have a friend & fellow educator that helps me - even 1000 mi away. #iteachchem #chemfam

When chemistry and Judaism intersect:
I was talking to my partner on Sunday about how I was looking for an article for the Ss to read on spherification (we’ve been making Boba in #foodchem ). He responded “Is that like Sefirat HaOmer?”

Observing a day early for #nerdytshirtfriday .
May the Intermolecular Force Be With You #maythe4thbewithyou

I have a confession: I still use LEO GER with every redox reaction.

Classifying chemical reaction types in lab today! #iteachchem
(Not as pretty as Amiee Larchar Modic ‘s lab, but we had 🔥 )

It’s a PEsAcH #nerdytshirtfriday . In addition to the commandments, we all know I needed to find a way to observe the hokidau. Thanks to @superdesignershop for the perfect shirt.

As we get ready for Pesach, I hope that we can find the time and space to find comfort and joy in our traditions, history, and rituals. Chag Sameach

I’m spending this #nerdytshirtfriday getting ready for Passover. But don’t worry. We’ve got chemistry. ChemEd Xchange

Got mole problems? Call Avogadro. 6.02 x 10²³. #nerdytshirtfriday
Happy break

I mentioned to my students that OJ Simpson died and my students said 'who's OJ Simpson?'

I tried to explain to them what it big deal it was & how I remember so much of the trial & when the verdict came in the hallways at my HS erupted in celebration

Moles, moles, and more moles. Why do a worksheet when you can gather data? Pretty sure I was inspired by Katy Dornbos 🤸🏽‍♀️. #iteachchem

Oops I did it again 🤭

#TotalSolarEclipse

Good Mole Hunting. Can you guess what we’re learning in chem? (Busy day so I didn’t have a chance to take a pic at school ) #nerdytshirtfriday
