I swear my front desk was clear for at least a day this year..... Today is the end of day two of the school year 😂 #Education #ITeachChem #ChemEd #TeachersofBluesky #Edusky

A brightly lit science classroom is shown from behind a laboratory worktable. The foreground table is covered with printed worksheets, a laptop, safety glasses, pens, a patterned travel cup, glassware, and laboratory equipment. A second workbench holds additional bottles, containers, tubing, and a computer monitor. In the background, bulletin boards display chemistry and science posters, including information about AP science practices, AP Chemistry concepts, and female chemists. A large projection screen on the right shows a document with handwritten responses about laboratory safety rules. Cabinets, shelves, stools, and classroom storage are visible throughout the room.

If I need a quick one some variation on Which One Doesn't Belong (talkingmathwithkids.com/wodb-photos/) is always a good one to use

The image consists of four atomic models representing different elements and their electron configurations. At the top left is Model 1, showing the carbon atom, depicted with a large black circle labeled with the letter "C" at its center and four smaller surrounding circles, symbolizing its four electrons. Model 2 represents silicon (Si), illustrated with a central yellow circle labeled "Si" and three concentric circles. The outermost circle contains eight smaller blue and green circles, indicating its electron shells and distribution. Below, Model 3 illustrates nitrogen (N) with a central yellow circle labeled "N," surrounded by two concentric circles, containing a total of five electrons. Finally, Model 4 depicts beryllium (Be) with a yellow circle in the center labeled "Be," featuring two electron shells represented by two concentric circles, accommodating its four electrons. Each model is aligned with descriptive labels for clarity.

The image displays four distinct molecular structures labeled "Molecule 1," "Molecule 2," "Molecule 3," and "Molecule 4," each enclosed in light blue rectangles. Each molecule is represented diagrammatically, emphasizing the arrangement of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms.

Molecule 1 shows a chain of six carbon atoms with one oxygen atom bonded to the second carbon. The arrangement includes several hydrogen atoms connected to each carbon.
Molecule 2 presents a similar chain with seven carbon atoms; one oxygen atom is attached to the fifth carbon.
Molecule 3 has a chain of six carbon atoms, with the oxygen atom linked to the fourth carbon. The presence of hydrogen atoms is consistent throughout the structure.
Molecule 4 depicts a cyclic structure with six carbon atoms forming a ring. An oxygen atom is attached to one of the carbon atoms, alongside multiple hydrogen atoms.

A variation of it. It's a penity density lab, we had two different procedures for only pre and post 83 pennies. And then two procedures for pre 83, 83 to 2010 and post 2010. And we currently do a variation for the LBC Alchemy unit

At least for me it is pure. There's been plenty of real world chem stuff that I've seen that I'm like " this is one of the reasons why all of our rules are broad guidelines"

I mean I might use this to write a question next year about why the true Bond angle is smaller than the expected bond angle, I won't be happy about it, but I'll do it

I know that the choice of marker is arbitrary, but I felt wrong using these colors for this today. #Chemistry #ChemEd #ITeachChem #Teacher #Teaching #EduSky

The image features a whiteboard with text written in two colors. On the right, blue marker text reads "Released = Neg" and "Exothermic." Beneath it, red marker text reads "Absorbed = pos" and "Endothermic." The top right corner has an orange plastic triangular protector. The left side of the whiteboard partially shows a projected image of a screen with icons and a calculator symbol.

I unfortunately have to be out the rest of the week. Even with all of this prepped and organized, and posted on Google Classroom too, I'm going to expect ~50% turn in rate of assignments over 3 days -_-'' #Teacher #Teaching #EduSky

A classroom whiteboard with a weekly schedule. Lessons and tasks for Wednesday to Friday are listed in rows and columns. It emphasizes Google Classroom use.

Classroom scene with a whiteboard and colorful trays labeled for different periods and AP Chemistry. The orderly setting conveys an organized and studious atmosphere.

Hydrolysis of salts. How to tell if the salt would have an acidic, basic, or neutral pH.

I used to do an activity with students looking at electrolyte strengths and our Vernier conductivity testers, and I learned after one class to not tell them what the μS stood for and to just write the unit lol
