In a recent unit discussing Newton&#8217;s Three Laws of Motion, eggs were used to show the effects of inertia. A raw egg will continue to spin on a flat surface, even when stopped because of the inertia of the liquid inside. A hard-boiled egg will stop easier because its inside is a solid. If students could correctly identify the eggs, they could pick which one was then cracked on the teacher&#8217;s head. Despite pleadings to pick a hard boiled one, every student wanted to see a raw egg cracked on the teacher&#8217;s head. While messy and slightly unpleasant, this experience gave a lasting memory about inertia to those students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I picture great teaching I see a person who is sometimes willing to do something embarrassing, messy, or unexpected<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2999,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-middle-school","category-new-technology-network"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatteaching.carnegie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatteaching.carnegie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatteaching.carnegie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatteaching.carnegie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatteaching.carnegie.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/greatteaching.carnegie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatteaching.carnegie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatteaching.carnegie.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatteaching.carnegie.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatteaching.carnegie.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
