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…

We are just about to dive into genetic algorithms (optimization algorithm, machine learning, etc) in my honors problem solving class, because they are cool! And I wanted to do a quick refresh on how genetics worked. Remembering the last time I took biology was my AP biology class in 1994 (a century ago – before…

Hint: it’s not. In my How Things Work general education physics class we have been working on making and reading graphs. Fun Stuff! We have been doing experiments and looking at the data to see if there is any relationship. One the thing I noticed while grading the first homework sets was that students were trying…
