a2) How could we design a closed system to be as efficient as possible? (think BIODOME sans Pauly Shore!) #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 28 @ 9:19 PM EDT

a2 #scitlap 3D design of ship, combine with @aurasma or @ThingLink to explain parts

BroCstart Sep 28 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis We study the biodome as part of this topic in my course! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Sep 28 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis Ha! @marykaycarson has a great book about Biosphere 2! Check it out! #scitlap

AliceCB32 Sep 28 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Research the possible issues and design ways to "fix" or help. My Ss loved that project. #scitlap

33megan33 Sep 28 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@BroCstart What grade do you teach? I teach 6th & had a hard time finding appropriate resources about the biodome. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 28 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis Maybe we can just sent Pauly Shore to Mars.... :) #scitlap

julialenawood74 Sep 28 @ 9:21 PM EDT

#scitlap Q2 - effective feed back should tell the student/teacher what areas need to be improved & about the students progress in that class

@Partain_Science I follow their twitter feed. They are almost ready to announce a new Mars Expedition to their program! #scitlap

A2 Ss would research planets and design and build a 3D paper model for future settlers. @NASA website has great resources #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 28 @ 9:26 PM EDT

a3 #scitlap Mars is a simpler system, so can ignore a lot of earth's complexity

cjcrawcooper Sep 28 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: It gets students to think about novel situations and apply knowledge #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 28 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 Comparisons like this give Ss context and you can take the lesson different directions. Even, what would change culturally? #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Sep 28 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@BroCstart My students tend to have a greater appreciation for what Earth does for life after comparing to Mars. #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 28 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@daleyscience Its hard to find that justs-right between challengings and over-whelming! #scitlap

@pentaclethra A context that is often absent until we make them look around for it. #scitlap

AliceCB32 Sep 28 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3 Ss learn what makes earth habitable! Then they designed organism that could survive on a diff planet. Covered adaptations #scitlap

A3 Would also say that this is an exciting topic. I can see kids loving to discuss life on Mars #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Sep 28 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@daleyscience Many of our kiddos rely on us to teach/guide them how to think deeply. Love that part of the job! #scitlap
