Monday Must Reads: Volume 66

It’s Monday which means its time for Monday Must Reads! For my school, that means it’s a distance learning drill day. We are face-to-face Tuesday through Friday. Each Monday, we have a distance learning day to practice learning digitally in case we need to pivot to full-time distance learning.

I don’t know how those of you who are teaching virtually everyday are doing it. After six google meets in the span of three hours, I am exhausted. So kudos to those of you doing this everyday. I am in awe of you. You are amazing.

I should really be planning lessons for the rest of this week, but I decided to take a bit of a break to scroll through my twitter favorites from the last two-ish weeks. I hope you enjoy this new volume of Monday Must Reads.

It’s my weekly-ish attempt at capturing the amazing ideas shared by mostly math teachers with a few inspiring science teachers thrown in as well. I hope you find an idea worth using or adapting for your own classroom.

Brownies in a Mug Mole Lab

I’ve really enjoyed scrolling through Shannon Fusina‘s twitter feed and seeing how she is modifying her chemistry classes for distance learning. I think we could all learn something from her and her creativity!

Chemistry Photo Scavenger Hunt

I love this idea of having students find real-life examples of chemistry in their house and documenting it.
