Hey there! When we sit down to study a subject like A&P, our main goal is to understand the information so well that it gets into our brains and stays there for the rest of our lives (or at least until you need it on a test). But, if you’re like me and basically everyone else, muchContinueContinue reading “How Memory Works (Learn anatomy faster!)”

My AP Physics 1 Summer Assignment
TL;DR: here’s the full assignment. If you’re looking for my full (in-progress) AP Physics 1 Curriculum, you can purchase it here! I’m going to come out and say it…I like giving summer assignments for my AP classes. Some schools require it (ours sort of does), some teachers think they’re necessary, and some teachers love toContinueContinue reading “My AP Physics 1 Summer Assignment”
New Anatomy & Physiology Resource: Positive A&P Muscular System Review!
Have you ever watched my videos or used them in class and wished there were aligned practice questions to go with them? I’ve been working the folks at PositiveSTEM (a.k.a., Positive Physics) to develop a FREE review unit on the muscular system. To use it with your classes, just go to http://www.positivestem.org and sign upContinueContinue reading “New Anatomy & Physiology Resource: Positive A&P Muscular System Review!”

Hey everyone, I launched the Siebert Science Patreon page last week! If you don’t know what Patreon is, it’s a way to financial support creators and receive perks in return. If you’ve benefitted from my videos or other resources and want to support my work through a monthly contribution, now you can! I have threeContinueContinue reading “Siebert Science on Patreon!”
My AP Chemistry Summer Assignment
In the online AP Chemistry teacher community, the assigning of summer work is a bit of a controversial topic. Some adamantly opposed, some saying it’s necessary, some using it as a way to weed out students who won’t do the work. Since I started teaching AP Chemistry 6 years ago, I’ve given summer work eachContinueContinue reading “My AP Chemistry Summer Assignment”
Model Exploration for Maxwell-Boltzmann Distributions
Here’s the activity itself! Below is my commentary and explanations. Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution graphs are a way to represent the varying speeds of particles in a sample of gas. They are often tested on the AP Chemistry exam, and they get at the heart of a few important chemistry concepts: Particles in a sample of gasContinueContinue reading “Model Exploration for Maxwell-Boltzmann Distributions”
Mass Spectrometry Card Hunt!
With my Bohr model cards being a hit, I wanted to create something fun for mass spectrometry. Unfortunately, some mass spectra are hard to find or not labeled exactly the way I want, so I made my own. I used a Google spreadsheet to input the percentages for each isotope, then added the graphs. TheContinueContinue reading “Mass Spectrometry Card Hunt!”
Graphing WASB Titration Curves on Giant Graph Paper
Note: This lesson could totally be adapted for SASB titrations as well. Here’s the lesson I used for SASB this year. Before Class (introducing WASB Titration & pH Calculations) Before my students came to class, they watched this video I made and took notes on this notes sheet. In the video, I do pH calculationsContinueContinue reading “Graphing WASB Titration Curves on Giant Graph Paper”
Strong Acid / Strong Base Titration pH Calculation Practice
The Case of the Missing Data and the Dishonest Chemistry Students! In the past, I’ve lectured on this SASB titration pH calculations, then because of time constraints, students had little to no time to actually practice it themselves. This year, I finally got around to creating a flipped classroom video of how to do theseContinueContinue reading “Strong Acid / Strong Base Titration pH Calculation Practice”
Designing the book cover for Malfunction Junction
If you haven’t heard me talk about it enough already, some friends and I made a book! It’s a Memphis-themed anthology called Malfunction Junction: Memphis Stories of Stops, Starts, Wrong Turns, and Dead Ends. You can buy copies at Novel (see photo of Alondra and I posing in front of the display below), and we’llContinueContinue reading “Designing the book cover for Malfunction Junction”
