Stop me before I filk again!

Okay, so a friend started one of her posts with "It's time to change the layout." Nothing too earth-shattering, but the cadence of that sentence must have excited the hamster in my head, because it started running on its wheel and got the little gears turning in my brain.

And so, from somewhere in there, this came out. It's sung to the tune of the "Muppet Show" theme:

t's time to change the layout
It's time to choose hilights
It's time to tweak the spacing in my LJ style tonight!

It's time to select backgrounds
It's time to design right
It's time to customize themes in my LJ style tonight!

Why do we always change things?
I guess we'll never know
It's like a kind of torture
To edit S2 code!

And now let's get things styled
Why don't we get things styled
It's time to get things styled
In my most layoutified, brightly colorified, HTMLified, CSS-stylified,
This is what I call my LJ styyyyle!

Newton's Law of Cooling is what's used to calculate time of death, when they find a still-warm body. It's calculus!

So I wrote a lesson plan that has the students play the role of forensic investigator, arriving at a crime scene at the Muppet Theater. There are several bodies, and they're given the temperature of each, and of the rooms in which the bodies are found. There are also statements from several witnesses, of overheard arguments and shouting, and one person storming out in a rage.

They have to calculate time of death for each of the bodies, then combine that with the witness statements to try to figure out what happened.

This is the best lesson plan ever.

Oh, I dunno. The one where I taught an exponential growth and decay lesson (in a chapter on Differential Equations) by having students model the spread of infection during the Inevitable Zombie Invasion was kinda fun too.

Especially the part where I gave out gummy-brains candy to the ones who got close to the right answer. They LOVED the gummy-brains.
