Quantum StepUp - Summer 2026 - LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD RESOURCES (BEYOND THOSE CREATED BY GMU) by Nancy Holincheck https://padlet.com/georgemasonu/v3lzwu6pakse4un4 On Thursday morning, you will be reviewing resources. FIRST, review our project resources (http://go.gmu.edu/gmuquantumed/ --> click on K12 Quantum Resources). THEN look for resources on the Q12 resources site (https://q12education.org/learning-materials/resource-library), and FINALLY, review other links provided in our Collaboration slides AND/OR internet search engines to look for other activities that exist. LOOK FOR A NEW RESOURCE (not linked on the GMU websites) TO SHARE ON THIS PADLET. en-us 2026-07-16 12:48:30 UTC 2026-07-16 16:55:15 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/8.0/png/269b.png nancy_holincheck https://padlet.com/georgemasonu/v3lzwu6pakse4un4/wish/3985055936 As you review resources on Thursday morning, look for a NEW RESOURCE (not linked directly from a GMU webpage) that you want to highlight for us and share with other teachers. 

Add two sentences about WHY you like it and HOW you think you can use it.

It features cartoons, animations, interactive elements and short podcasts—a multimedia approach that we hope will enrich your exploration of the quantum world.

Students will learn about the polarization of light through creative challenges and connect those classical physics concepts to quantum effects.
