So I'll be educating 120+ 8th graders on my birthday

I've been volunteered by my company to go teach a whole bunch of 8th graders science for about 2 hours next week. I've never taught before and need to work on my public speaking, so I guess lecturing on a science topic to the most apathetic age group is a good way to jump in head first.
I do enjoy developing the lesson plan and associated powerpoints, its pretty fun trying to make boring topics interesting but not cheesy.

Set an example and go high as shit! Maybe have a few beers to kill the anxiety too.

Learning to love life by living through loss and mistakes
Lessons learned then gradually surfacing, Letting go, stripping naked to scream
I am not perfect nor do I strive to be, I am alive in this world of face first falls and public breakdowns
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown
Dying to be heard through the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall
I'm an equal being of no race, or color, a hallucination if you will
Sneaking into the lives of strangers, and letting them fall apart to a new rhythm just to feel better

If you need a proof reader or just any input at all I'm willing to do what I can.
Otherwise good luck!

It went well, nobody fell asleep and they asked a few questions at the end. I've been down at Hilton Head all week celebrating my birthday and Halloween, tons of fun was had by all

Thats good that you liked it. I hear intermediate can be the biggest handful. I'm actually in school so I can teach high school sciences. At the very least you can say you did something different for your birthday lol.

Who said I'm a narcissist? Keep the trolling in the smoke lounge FFS.
I didn't know "not being a drug binging failure" made me a narcissist on this website. Don't argue with an engineer or chemistry major, we already know we're right.
People trolling in these threads with new members is part of what keeps this place shitty, but do what you want. You spend far more time on this site than me.

However cheesy is. You might wanna reread my post bruh. You have no reason to just randomly jump in a smoke lounge thread and just randomly call someone a narcissist. This isn't the forum for trolling, keep it in the dome like a grown up son.

At times one must act upon others time change. When standing eye to eye you realize it only takes one time to get a chick pregnant so jimmy up!

Will do, I just hate people derailing threads just to troll over some random dome ranting that happened over a month ago. What topics did you talk about with them agmotes?

We discussed the hydrosphere in general, some history regarding the local river system and how it shaped the surrounding communities. Then the teacher asked me to explain where all of the different elements come from in a way they would understand.
Its interesting trying to re-word things you understand into a way that kids can understand.

That it is. It's why Feynman was one of the greatest explainers of our modern era.
Once I'm in my teaching career I really want to try to start a science club, try to teach some topics like the fundamental forces and such in a way to help kids get involved in science fairs. I mean even without explaining the calculus and such maxwells equations are so enlightening to know, I mean only an engineer needs to integrate. If someone sticks to basic shapes it's just a force acting on a basic geometric shapes.
Or going over some of the basic's of euclid's elements. Our education system only wants students to be taught things in a sequential way, even if there is a wide breadth of material they can understand.
I'm glad you found it interesting, and I'm glad the students asked questions at the end. If they had questions it means you explained it well enough you made them curious, and that's the important part.
