she/her/hers. I'm here for the physics and math teaching conversation. #iTeachPhysics and #iTeachMath. Also interested in boarding school, independent schools, GSA, and FTC robotics.
- My pedagogy matured during the golden age of blogging. I'm incredibly thankful to @rhettallain.bsky.social for being central to that work. Congratulations on your Richtmyer Memorial Lecture Award! #AAPTWM26 "Everything is a real-world physics problem: for large values of real." --Rhett Allain
- Jim Perry and I just finished presenting “Live Action Problems” at #AAPTWM26. We both very much appreciate the community for being incredibly welcoming to us as first time presenters. #ITeachPhysics Examples and a framework for writing your own are at kalamitykat.com/2026/01/19/l....
- Say what, Gemini?
- Happy Hanukkah from our family to yours!
- Man, I love teaching fluids. #ITeachPhysics This pic led to a great discussion that included "why does this problem seem to be trying to get you to draw the wrong conclusion?"

- My seven-year-old is writing a book #ITeachMath ♾️
- Reading 1.000 g/m^3 as 1000 g/m^3 has got to be the most annoying mistake these international students have made this week. Q: How do you differentiate 1.000 as 1 vs 1000? American school with international students. Sure, they should know the density of water, but I'm thinking more abstractly. 🎢
- Do y'all have camera recommendations for physics labs in a no-phone school setting? Must be able to capture objects in freefall and have low-enough distortion for video analysis. #ITeachPhysics 🎢 Maybe something like this? www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3QO9JW/
- I found your cardboard boat project, @mrsgphysics.bsky.social in the AMTA projects folder. Am considering a similar one. One big question, tho: were you satisfied with the ratio of physicsing to general project fun? Everyone -- I'd love to hear how I can improve that ratio on projects.
- Nothing quite like this message the day grades are due, eh @mathmansam.bsky.social?
- When the globe is removed, will the scale reading, go up, down, or stay the same? Great test of Newton’s 3rd. #ITeachPhysics #teach180 days 34 & 37 This was part of the balanced forces lab practical on Tues. We revisited it on Fri for families-visit-class day.
- Teachers: You don't have to teach this tool.
