“They opened the world of electrons, which we never had access to before.”
Immediately after the announcement, Professor Mats Larsson, member of the Nobel Committee, was interviewed by freelance journalist Sharon Jåma about the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Love this quote. I think this applies to all educators.
“Why do we love our writing teachers so much?” George Saunders wrote, in 2015. Read his reflection on the educators who “tolerate the under-wonderful stories we write”: nyer.cm/Dz74aGs
ALT A quote from the author George Saunders: Writing teachers “have so much power. They could mock us, disregard us, use us to prop themselves up. But our teachers, if they are good, instead do something almost holy, which we never forget: they take us seriously.”

AP review time! Students are progressing through station rotations for each unit. Proud to have such a diligent group of students that learn from and support each other. 😊 🧪 @mineolahs @MineolaUFSD
Today chemistry students collaborated in making potential energy diagrams for the synthesis and decomposition of water! 😊 @mineolahs @MineolaUFSD
Students conversing and completing task cards before their exam on solutions! 💦😊 @mineolahs
If a snowflake is simply frozen water, why does it look so different from an ice cube? Students used their chemistry knowledge to answer this question and explored how the beauty of snowflakes results from the internal order of water molecules! 💙❄️⛄ @MineolaUFSD @mineolahs

Watch pretty crystals of lead (II) iodide form as it precipitates out of solution when cooled! Regents chemistry students are learning about factors that affect solubility, such as temperature, and AP chem students are exploring solubility equilibria! ✨
@mineolahs @MineolaUFSD
Starting off the gas laws unit with some fun and thought provoking questions! @mineolahs #MineolaProud 🎈 🌬 🫧
