A1: I try to make science real for my Ss going beyond the texts and hands on, interaction as often as possible #3rdchat

CahillCara Apr 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1- Doing and making their own meaning. They can't be passive learners of science. #3rdchat

Q2 is coming at you in 1 min #3rdchat

josephdipuma Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Remember when you wanted to hang out with your friends? You rode your bike there... Now you text them? Where's the engagement? #3rdchat

MrLeonard8 Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

It's important to get their attention and be engaging but we have to remember to meet the benchmark, too many misconceptions if not #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@josephdipuma True, we need to be observant. #3rdchat

therowdykidsin3 Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: I try to relate it to other things students show an interest in. Natural resources in Minecraft, focus on animals with biomes #3rdchat

StacyGasteiger Apr 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@therowdykidsin3 Clever--Minecraft connections #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@MrLeonard8 absolutely. Too many "showy" science lessons can miss the benchmark #3rdchat

bickd Apr 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

#3rdchat A2: Hands on science lessens behavior problems because they want to be there and do the activities. Giving behavior ss jobs helps

josephdipuma Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Resources are definitely important -but not everything. What good are they if you don't have a teacher to lead? Are Ts engaged? #3rdchat

StacyGasteiger Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

They remember the explosion but not the concepts. #3rdchat https://t.co/RU9wyCLxNU

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@MrLeonard8 absolutely. Too many "showy" science lessons can miss the benchmark #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Give time to explore, develop Qs. Don't feel you have to have that control. Be a collector and borrower of materials. #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@StacyGasteiger we have 15 min! 😳 we use time in reading/math, recess, etc. to pull in Science too #3rdchat

@therowdykidsin3 Did you see the VR iPad app by Thinglink? Want to try it so badly. https://t.co/D7PmtyZcOC #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@bickd I find many Ss need jobs when it comes to this. All want to be hands-on at once and tend to argue who does what. #3rdchat

bickd Apr 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#3rdchat Limited resources are easily solved by using recycled materials, partnering with businesses, tell people you're a t and they donate

FirstAtBat - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Yes, that is a problem. Hard to go deep. #3rdchat https://t.co/iQa7Yv8cdb

StacyGasteiger Apr 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@mleonard03 Wow. Didn't realize I had it so good. I steal time from everywhere. #3rdchat

therowdykidsin3 Apr 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: Time is the biggest problem, but I try to integrate with reading and writing as much as possible. #3rdchat

bickd Apr 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT

#3rdchat Limited time is a big problem for all of us. Interdisciplinary activities help take care of more than one concept at a time

StacyGasteiger Apr 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@MrsPug1 @bickd We work on cooperative learning skills all year. By this time, they are pretty good about sharing. #3rdchat

itrachtenbarg Apr 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@mleonard03 @StacyGasteiger Hard to balance the time between reading (preparing for test) and incorporating hands-on science. #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2. Time is an issue, we have 15 mins. Many times math runs over into it. Integration is the key to making it work #3rdchat

@MrsPug1 @mleonard03 Our testing just finished, so I'm able to give more time to science. Shh, don't tell anyone. #3rdchat

@bickd Yikes, at least I can easily carry over to the next day. #3rdchat

#3rdchat Restaurants will donate things like straws, cups, etc, if you tell them you're a teacher. Target, Walmart, etc will also

FirstAtBat - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:21 PM EDT
