We studied pendulums for almost the entirety of the first physics lab course and learned how to quantify and reduce experimental uncertainties. I remember being absolutely convinced that the period is independent of the amplitude of oscillation because that was what I learned in high school (and I did not remember what assumptions were made.) I was allowed to continue making this mistake until I finally figured out what my data was telling me near the end of the term.

When writing an email to the author of a paper published from a Belgian team (Belgium is bilingual, French and Dutch), and while working in Belgium in an University lab, I wrote a (long) email in French to him asking very specific questions about his experiment. He answered a long email... in Dutch. I should have done a little more research about him before sending my email!

In this course, I learnt a lot about critical thinking through writing research papers and formulating own research questions related to viruses , I was able to apply most of the knowledge in real life and understand viruses better.

In grade 12 I was a guest judge at another high schools grade 9 physics competition. Even being only 4 years older than the students, I remember how they treated me. They were very respectful and put a lot of weight into my feedback and advice. I realized then how much a teacher can impact a student (even if I had no qualifications at the time) and thus the importance of having good teachers and educators.

. I was a little shy in high school and the teacher welcomed me in to the group. It was memorable because it was allowed me to use my science skills and pushed me out of my comfort zone.

I remember once I was trying to bake some scones but I messed up the ingredients. I put salt instead of sugar into the dough since both of them look very similar. The scones then of course tasted very terrible. However, after that I learnt it is important to be careful when you are doing something. Learning from mistakes is alway a great lesson!

I remember having spent three years trying to get out of engineering because I thought I wasn’t meant to work as an engineer. Then on a field trip I remember being so fascinated by one company and didn’t understand why nobody else thought it was the coolest thing. That was when I realized that there was a place for me if I wanted it. My classmates encouraged me to see my ability to do something different and in that moment I realized my potential.

A memorable learning experience I had was collaborating with fellow students on math problems. What was different was because sitting plans were originally one desk per student, but we were allowed to sit with our groups and discuss/apply the knowledge.

A first year grade 9 science teacher was struggling with the "flour mill" demonstration. Students came up to the front to "help," resulting in a flame shooting out the bottom of the stovepipe onto her dress.

My highschool biology teacher had us fold and throw paper airplanes to teach us about evolution. Those that got past a drawn line would "survive" and he would rip up the ones that didn't make it. It was the moment where I decided to become a teacher, because I wanted to come up with fun learning activities of my own.

One of my favorite learning memories was when I learned about the doppler effect and the equation that describes it. I had taken a course called "the physics of music" because I thought it was interesting, and it absolutely was; making the connection between my intuitive understanding of it and the math was mind-shattering.

When writing a very long written exam one of my favorite professors Tammy baked cookies and kept them at the front because she was worried about our well-being. She worked hard to build a sense of community and a strong student-teacher relationship that made us feel more at ease about asking questions and approaching her.

My memorable learning experience was when my grade 11 Physics teacher burned off a part of a students hair while demonstrating a concept about how heat travels from a candle in the presence of a vacuum.  I did some unintentional learning about lab safety, and about how my teacher moved on from the experience, took responsibility, and tried to make up for it with the student.
