Physics & Physical Science Demos, Labs, & Projects for High School Teachers

Am I the only one that really looks forward to getting back to the routine and yet has a huge pile of stress and anxiety over the workload? I got hit with so much new stuff this year that I’m overwhelmed before even beginning.  We have a couple new science teachers, my Conceptual Physics class [...]

It was in fact my first science teacher conference.  NSTA was overwhelming (1600 sessions to chose from) and outstanding all at the same time.  I met great people, learned so much from them, and came away with tons of ideas and demonstrations.  It was like visiting my home planet. I was there for a lot [...]

Anybody planning on attending the NSTA national conference in Philadelphia on March 18th?  If so, I’d love to meet up for lunch or drinks or something.  I plan on being there on Thursday and Friday, maybe Saturday as well. And check out the hit counter, the blog has seen 150,000 hits as of today.  Damn.

I’m shopping for a new theme, the old one was feeling stale.  It may change a few times over the next week or so.  I’m shooting for clean lines, easy to read, nothing to frilly.  The pink and blue banner is a bit frilly, but is the rest of the blog easy on the eyes?

I’m happy to say that I got in contact with Deborah, she moved schools and her site changed.  The link is updated, her new site is here:  http://teacherweb.com/TX/Fruitvale/Carder/ap1.stm

Loyal readers, I have a question for you.  Would you care if I moved my blog from WordPress to Blogspot?  Why, you ask, would I move? Well, I get a pretty decent amount of traffic, more than a couple of people have suggested I put ads on my blog.  WordPress doesn’t allow it, Blogspot does.  [...]

Today is the 1-year anniversary of this blog and I get the feeling it has been rather successful.  I’m currently getting roughly 7,000 page views a month.  I never would have expected 78,000 page views to a physics teaching blog in a single year.  I guess I’m not the only one that needs help figuring [...]

Just a quick poll to help me understand who is stopping by my blog. This is so cool, thanks for participating.

I started this little blog to help remember the stuff I do in class.  I can’t believe that 2/3 of a year later and only half way through the school year, I’ve had 50,000 page views.  Thanks for stopping by, I hope I was able to make your job a little easier. – Scott

When I started this blog, I figured a few people might get something out of it.  It’s now just three months and I’ve had over 11,000 page views.  One day last week the blog had over 500 hits – it blows my mind. Thanks to everyone that wrote me to say you found my work [...]

I’m just getting started, there is so much to add to the site.  I really need to rethink the categories and tags and go back and then update all the posts.  I want to thank those of you that wrote me, I really appreciate the kind words.   The amount of traffic tells me this [...]

Wow, that’s all I can say, just wow! The blog has been alive for one month and I’ve had over 1800 visitors. It’s the summer people, get a tan. No really, I’m thrilled at the exposure. I’ve been putting my stuff down as it comes to me, sometimes several posts a day, then a week [...]
