@sbosch_spps @PerkyScience That's ok! There is enough perky to go around! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Thinking of starting Day 1 with dry ice then having parents do the same at BTSN. Has anyone bought dry ice on Amazon? Can you? #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:17 PM EDT

a3 #scitlap Ps enrolled s after homeschooling 7 years. Mom very nervous! Had a great convo about how class will run...

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@daleyscience I haven't. We have a couple of grocery stores that sell it locally. #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:17 PM EDT

a3 cont. #scitlap When she saw my classroom, was much at ease! https://t.co/9tv1IcD1sW

@KRScienceLady CREATE! I'm thinking of creating meaning and creating solutions and creating models and so much more. #scitlap

pentaclethra Aug 24 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3 Nothing stands out for any particular year. Is that bad? #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@BroCstart Looks like a great learning space. What is on the bottom of tables? #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@daleyscience Bait stores that sell Fishing Bait often have dry ice. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3 I like seeing Ps nodding their heads. It makes me happy we are on the same page. Or when they laugh at my jokes. #scitlap

pentaclethra Aug 24 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@daleyscience Call around. Ask other teachers in your area. I get my dry ice and liquid nitrogen from a welding store. #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps bed raisers from Walmart!https://t.co/YTQaOxRFLi Not as stable as I'd hope, but works! #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@pentaclethra No. I have co-workers who went to their child's BTSN and came back with ideas for our school. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3 I hate when I've given the same talk 5 times and I've forgotten if I already said things on BTSN. Makes me feel like I've crazy. #scitlap

HowardKiyuna Aug 24 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Sorry modern world problems. Instacart showed up. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 Got email 2day from S from last yr telling me her HS sched & asking if we could keep in touch. Reminder:It's not about the test #scitlap

HowardKiyuna Aug 24 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: Explaining to P's that homework in indiv. Ss travel to 4-5 therapies r burnt out, some are Ivy Leaguers, its case by case. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Best BTSN 2 years ago when my school was remodeled - community was pumped to see for first time. #scitlap Ts were still unpacking

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:24 PM EDT

a4 #scitlap My room looks totally diff than any other in the building. The pirate is hidden in the layout!

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A4: I honestly haven't ever thought about pirating up BTSN.... interesting... (puts on thinking hat) #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@Partain_Science you mean pirate hat. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:24 PM EDT

pentaclethra Aug 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4 We don't do a schedule format. Parents just wander the halls for several hours. I stay happy and gregarious. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@BroCstart True! True! (or maybe it's my thinking eyepatch....) #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps Right. Ss love the standing work stations & freedom to sprawl on floor #scitlap

Kpalmerscience Aug 24 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: the fact that my room is always super loud on BTSN bc of the eng challenges draws people in #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: Last year covered the hallways with MINION decals. Ran around BTSN with selfie stick! Posted Pics in hallway for 2st day #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@BroCstart A math teacher just got a room full of standing desks with a swing bar underneath....very interesting. #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@daleyscience Nice! I hate sitting for more than 10 minutes at school. Much better mood when standing. Ss seem to be same #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@daleyscience True. But TX is SO much about the test...it is hard, hard. This email will be my go-to when I need a little uplift! #scitlap

SueAtSea Aug 24 @ 9:29 PM EDT

I’m easy with BTSN. Ps just want to know who their child is learning from. Never time for tricks, too rushed! #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@Kpalmerscience Engineering challenges are a great way to have the parents experience STEM! Love it! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@Partain_Science Us too, but I try not to let it get me down. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Q5: BRAINSTORM! What HOOKs could a PIRATE teacher put outside their door for BTSN? #scitlap

SueAtSea Aug 24 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@pentaclethra That’s nice. I like schmoozing! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@BroCstart Will keep you posted on how his class does with it. It was a grant. The swinging bar underneath is kinda soothing. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A5: Put fans blowing into your room with a sign that says Fill up yer sails! #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@daleyscience yeah, would be interested. My bed-raiser hack is OK, but not sturdy! I need to get into the grant game! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@daleyscience @BroCstart Post a pic for us sometime. I'm curious what this looks like. #scitlap

SueAtSea Aug 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A5 Infrared pictures of the kids in a Guess Who format! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A5 If I go with the dry ice, then the hook will be me, a lab coat, and a smokey flask of CO2. We shall see. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Ok. That's really bad. Help me think of better hooks to write outside my door? @SciTeach7Davis You're great at these! #scitlap

SueAtSea Aug 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@BroCstart @daleyscience Ive used cinderblocks before! #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@SueAtSea @daleyscience I'm not the only one! YAAAAY! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@BroCstart @SueAtSea @daleyscience I thought the bed risers were really clever! #scitlap

Kpalmerscience Aug 24 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A5: I always think about putting up something on the door for people to walk through. Never have though... #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@SueAtSea LOVE! #scitlap

pentaclethra Aug 24 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@SueAtSea That's what it is! Small school so I often already know parents and families. #scitlap

SueAtSea Aug 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A5 I put half sheets of paper and pens out, Ps often take notes #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@Partain_Science Thanks!! I'm quite proud and excited of my classroom this year. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@pentaclethra @SueAtSea My school is small too. We have ice-cream on the playground and don't even go in the school. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@SueAtSea That's a good idea. Also, maybe a few crayons & coloring sheets . We get lots of young siblings. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Q6: Have you asked parents about their experiences as students? What questions do you ask parents? Set Goals? HOW? #scitlap @PTHVP

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@BroCstart Your room looks awesome, and fun. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@BroCstart Your classroom reminds me of the things @khurdhorst does in her room. Clever ways to make seating. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A6: I've asked parents about how they use science in their jobs, but I want to start asking what science was like for them in Elem. #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

a6 #scitlap I don't do this enough. Working on emailing Ps a screencast to strike up convo

Mr_Canterbury Aug 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A6: Parents usually love it when I tell them there shouldn't be any science homework this year. #scitlap

pentaclethra Aug 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A6 I often don't have to ask Ps: they tell me. Most Ppl tend to have hated grade 8. My goal is to change that! #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury Same! Aside from a few brief screencasts. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A6) I do ask if they have a life science background and would be willing to serve as a resource in genius hour #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A6: Parents can bring their negative experiences into conversation. Knowing about their experience can help me communicate better #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A6 I have not. Looking forward to feedback from others. #scitlap

SueAtSea Aug 24 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A6 Never had > 10 min in a class, so never time 4 Q & A. As P myself I hope to make the most of the short time! #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@pentaclethra My MS experience was a tough one. I think thats why I work so hard to make sure others have a better time of it. #scitlap

mrterborg Aug 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@daleyscience The science behind Peter Pan and Captain Hook. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Aug 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A7: My focus is students' understanding and explaining the models they draw. If they can explain they know at a deep level. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis Me Neither - But it sounds like a fun challenge. #scitlap

pentaclethra Aug 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A7 We make models in class all the time. #NGSS wants Ss to go further. Use it to make predictions etc. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury Very cool. What kinds of things do you have them draw? Do you use it as a Pre/ Formative? #scitlap

8TeachWriteArt8 Aug 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps I LOVE METACOGNITION. #scitlap 😳just saying...

Mr_Canterbury Aug 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A7: Ss also must argue the models of other students through whiteboarding. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Aug 24 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps No, I have a separate pre/post. I use as formative as well as quiz readiness. #scitlap

@pentaclethra What are your favorite models? Are they drawings or 3D #scitlap

PerkyScience Aug 24 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A7 (joining late) I like models to engage for exploration and to assess at the end. Ss build them to show knowledge. #scitlap

HowardKiyuna Aug 24 @ 9:48 PM EDT

I think we'll design a giant lego mostracity & drive w/Scratch. Open the VLOG station for P's to leave messages, etc. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Aside: Does anyone know where I could access a Vietnamese science glossary online (likely to print out)? Ss has been here 2 months. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@BroCstart @Mr_Canterbury I totally need to up my model game! #scitlap So much more to learn.

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Q8: Now that my homework is ready for tomorrow, is everyone ready for BTSN? What is on your check list of things to do? #scitlap

PerkyScience Aug 24 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury I love it when Ss create and explain the models. Give me a better grip on what they know, plus Ss are more engaged. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7 Also made models of human body systems using recyclables and lots of diagrams. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@daleyscience My reading tonight recommends models that can be added to as learning becomes deeper. Have you ever done that? #scitlap

SueAtSea Aug 24 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7 models by moving around, acting out. One such model I learned right here in #scitlap

8TeachWriteArt8 Aug 24 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7: 1stGr Science🍎😬 It's different at this grade: FACTS. Ex: ScientificProcess. ⛏HittingGold is when Ss provide original ideas. #scitlap

Kpalmerscience Aug 24 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7: I love discussing the limitations of the models we create. Helps them understand big picture ideas. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@SueAtSea @SciTeach7Davis We have to get through 8 classes & that's with only 3 minutes transition. Seems frenetic to me... #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps Mostly just through discussion. One question is Why do scientists use models? #scitlap

pentaclethra Aug 24 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A8 I have 18 things on my check list and growing. Materials to inventory and shopping to be done. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@8TeachWriteArt8 1st and K work on labeling pictures - it is so literal. Maybe 1st step toward models? #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7) I REALLY want Ss to build a giant cell model out of plastic sheeting and blow it up with box fans! #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis THAT WOULD BE SO COOL! Totally want to do this too. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Aug 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A8: Getting ready to teach my Ss the difference between observation and inference w/ Uranium Dioxide lab. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis That would be awesome. I've built quite a few of these but never as a cell. My T actually did this in 8th grade #scitlap

8TeachWriteArt8 Aug 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps @daleyscience Those visual reps really drive a concept home. We had an "intestine" along the class wall. #Makerspace #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

LOVE! All of you have made my homework so much more fun tonight! Thank You! #scitlap https://t.co/r8rNovSebb

PerkyScience Aug 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A8 Ss started blogging today so parents can see what we are doing in class. Getting closer to ready! #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury what is Uranium O2 lab? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A8 Still have a few weeks, but going to make a P hook and something interactive. All parents are gonna want a ticket to my show. #scitlap

8TeachWriteArt8 Aug 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps @daleyscience So was could see just how long it really was despite being coiled in our bodies. #Scitlap

Kpalmerscience Aug 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A8: create a smore newsletter to put on smartboard, prep challenge stations, print out my travel packets for upcoming trips. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@BroCstart I actually have a printout with some instructions somewhere. Will look tomorrow! #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@pentaclethra For elementary, I could have them create a flower and label parts in minecraft! #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis YAAAAAS! Please share! #scitlap

8TeachWriteArt8 Aug 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps @daleyscience Habitats. Homes for animals. Ss drawings or panoramas really helped Ss understand the concept. #SciTLap

Mr_Canterbury Aug 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

#scitlap https://t.co/WI5GMlQ8tW

Mr_Canterbury Aug 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@BroCstart When seen through a tube of water URANIUM flips over but DIOXIDE doesn't appear to because of its symmetry. Ss guess why.

8TeachWriteArt8 Aug 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps They're 5/6. Not 3yr olds. They draw lots of pics so Art is integrated throughout Science. #SciTLap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@Kpalmerscience Love Smore! #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury I'm having a hard time visualizing this. Is it something purchased? #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Q9: What is your big take away from tonights chat? Or what topics would you like to see in future chats? #scitlap

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@BroCstart @Mr_Canterbury I've never heard of this! WOW! #scitlap

8TeachWriteArt8 Aug 24 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps @pentaclethra That only teaches vocabulary. It doesn't teach photosynthesis. #SciTLap

Mr_Canterbury Aug 24 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@BroCstart Sorry - the word "URANIUM" appears affected when seen through a tube of water. "DIOXIDE" doesn't. Ss figure out why #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:56 PM EDT

a9 #scitlap 1.Ask Ps more questions! Get them into the convo. 2. Keep being piraty

sbosch_spps Aug 24 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A8: Schedule field trips, prep notebooks, table caddies, prep materials for S to decorate room. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Aug 24 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Would love to see you all as we explore how Mars exploration can ignite science learning for our Students! #scitlap https://t.co/QSvUKe7lQf

8TeachWriteArt8 Aug 24 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@Kpalmerscience @TeachingChannel is doing an ✈️Engineering PD w/Ts. Can't recall particulars. #scitlap

BroCstart Aug 24 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury This is the them I use for 6 sci solar system unit! Would love to beef up that unit #scitlap
