Gudelsky: Science and the Web. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Http:/ www.guidetoonlineschools.com/online-teaching/plagiarism. Monday, April 26, 2010. HAVING FUN LOOKING AT RECIPES. Of course, I couldn't work all weekend. I had to have some fun, too! I'd "bookmarked" a recipe blog on my del.icio.us site this summer but really hadn't had a chance to look at it. For the Love of Cooking. Http:/ fortheloveofcooking-recipes.blogspot.com/. Http:/ www.babble.com/babble-best/top-50-mommy-food-blogs/. Back to YouTube an...

Science teacher: October 2014
http://doyle-scienceteach.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Breaking out of the classroom into the world. Thursday, October 30, 2014. An old one, but Samhain is creeping up, and the ancients revered the cycles. I'm creeping towards ancient status. Despite whatever virus is playing tootsies with my hypothalamus (or maybe because of this), I found myself in thigh deep water on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean at dusk, trying to catch a striped bass. I spent the evening shivering under a blanket. As the sunlight recedes on Samhain, the dead walk among us. This past we...

Science teacher: Hiroshima, again
http://doyle-scienceteach.blogspot.com/2015/08/hiroshima-again.html
Breaking out of the classroom into the world. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Hiroshima was destroyed on August 5th, 7:16 PM, our time- just under an hour before our sunset. Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima, an important Japanese army base. . It is an atomic bomb. It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. . . . What has been done is the greatest achievement of organized science in history. Harry S. Truman. What is our responsibility as teachers of science? Bloom...

Science teacher: Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
http://doyle-scienceteach.blogspot.com/2015/06/wash-rinse-repeat.html
Breaking out of the classroom into the world. Saturday, June 6, 2015. Wash Rinse. Repeat. Amidst the chaos and the entropy, sunlight streams in and helps us put things back together. We're pretty good at this as populations, much better than as individuals, all of whom share the same fate. Life goes on, but we do not. The sparrows and the squirrels do their squirrel and sparrow business just as they did when I watched them so any decades ago, but they are not the same sparrows, not the same squirrels.

Science teacher: May 2015

Breaking out of the classroom into the world. Saturday, May 30, 2015. May you find peas. For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life.". Handful of grace, picked this morning. About 10 weeks ago I poked a finger into the ground a few dozen times, dropped a pea (and an occasional stray buddy) into each hole, smoothed over the dirt, then let them be, hoping (but not truly believing) today's harvest would come. One thing won't change, though, should I still be teaching- kids will plant and see, ...

Science teacher: December 2014
http://doyle-scienceteach.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Breaking out of the classroom into the world. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. I watched the sun set yesterday. I watched the sun rise again this morning. I don't do this often enough, few of us do. Just a few minutes after the sun broke through this morning, a twitchy squirrel sat on top of a fence post, still, facing the sun, then resumed his twitchiness. A vulture flew within 20 feet of me, its under feathers reflecting the sunlight as it banked. It would have happened anyway. And it's happening anyway.

Science teacher: Teaching in June
http://doyle-scienceteach.blogspot.com/2015/06/teaching-in-june.html
Breaking out of the classroom into the world. Sunday, June 14, 2015. From a June half a decade ago. She wrote, simply, "hi mike.". I assumed I was the Michael she meant, but it does not matter, berries are for all of us, so I am using the photo. The hand belongs to Jessica Pierce. The berries to whichever mouth gets them first. Along my walk to school are several cherry trees- the cherries are ripe now. I get to school with a tongue stained purple. Now I fear dying in winter. I do not wish to die, fe...
