On Monday of this week, Luis, Kylie, Ryan, Zach and I were at Mineola High School visiting their physics classes. Mineola is literally on our team! We are collaborating with Professor Carissa Giuliano, a physics teacher at Mineola HS and adjunct professor at Adelphi University, on the Lab for Kids/Cosmic Pathways PhysTEC grant.

Here you can see Professor Giuliano having lunch with two of our Adelphi upper-level students discussing the ins and outs of the teaching profession.

This is only day one! If the weather holds we will be back there on Thursday! Mineola students were amazing! Ryan, Zach, and Kylie did such a good job teaching Luis and I just sat around doing nothing all day. 🙂 (That’s the way I like it, hehe.)

Instead of the usual Lab for Kids material, we brought in our air tracks so students could explore the conservation of momentum (directly related to where they are in their classes).

Here are some pictures from the day.
