If you follow Vernier on social media, you can download some valentine cards featuring Mo the motion detector!
Valentine which is a rectangle divided into a left and right half. The left half has the Vernier Science Education logo in white against a pink background with red hearts, tiny yellow 4-pointed starbursts, and some illustrated Vernier sensors. The right half has the face of Mo the motion detector with hearts instead of eyes. Mo’s little stick figure arms are holding what looks like a pale blue candy heart at the lower right of the image, and the candy heart has the words I <3 science on it.

Unbalanced Forces problem solving stations this week in 10th grade Physics. A favorite day every year! #iteachphysics #modphys #scichat
Instructions written on the whiteboard. 0) Identify the system. 1) Draw & annotate relevant physics diagrams: FBD & VAD, v-t graph. 2) Make indicated measurements. 3) Add measured values to your diagrams. 4) Use annotated diagrams to solve. 5) Use instructions to check your solution. --> Troubleshoot as needed. 6) High five! (optional)A station with a triple-fan cart, track, and instructions.A station with a ramp, cart, spring scale, motion detector, and instructions.A station with two instruction cards and a force sensor.

In the last 9 years there have been very similar kinetics questions of 5 AP Chem exams. We've had some requests from teachers for a kinetics webinar. I'm working on it for January. The activity will work on colorimeters or spectrophotometers. The data is excellent. Stay tuned.
