#scitlap #scichat Is turning while going a constant speed acceleration? If yes as I suspect, how do you explain to S's? #newprep #iteach8th

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:01 PM EDT

Welcome to #scitlap! All pirates are welcome here tonight. Tell us your name, grade & a beginning of the yr funny if you have!

Mr_Canterbury Aug 23 @ 9:02 PM EDT

Missing #scitlap tonight.

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:02 PM EDT

Yes.B/c acc.is changing velocity...and velocity has a directional component.Change direction= acceleration.That's my MS explanation #scitlap

A1 We are not in school yet, but I posted some pics on my Instagram account and got a bunch of likes from Ss. Wish I was with kids #scitlap

Hello👋🏽😬🍎 #scitlap #FirstWeekOfSchool #Eclipse2017

pentaclethra Aug 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1 Social media definitely had an effect on eclipse fever. My Facebook and Twitter feed were filled with posts on the event. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 Lots of hype, 99 years since coast to coast, beautiful summer day, social media! #scitlap

MrsBrubaker Aug 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: positive publicity! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: I think the rarity made if feel special & like once in a lifetime! Kids will remember where they were. #scitlap

biobythemathmom Aug 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

My 8 year old and I used binoculars in cardboard, but she made me promise to buy glasses for the next eclipse. #scitlap

SueAtSea Aug 23 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Hey friends, dropping in from atlanta for some #eclipse talk #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:19 PM EDT

My dad had bought me some & we got a pair from the public library. I hadn't used them before but they were worth it IMO! #scitlap

A2 I have been hyping it since last year. Told story of viewing from my childhood! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I wondered too if the national climate could have contributed. People want something positive to think about. #scitlap

At the last min to get shipped in time, I bought glasses (had to buy 25). Was able to give to many friends, but wish I had more #scitlap

AliceCB32 Aug 23 @ 9:23 PM EDT

#scitlap A1 I had 1 pair of glasses and about 9 students. We took turns looking at the eclipse while 1 Ss w/ binoculars projected it.

AliceCB32 Aug 23 @ 9:23 PM EDT

#scitlap A2 social media and the news drive the craze!

cjcrawcooper Aug 23 @ 9:24 PM EDT

We saw the eclipse coming and one brief moment of totality before the clouds took over #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Q3: What events have you centered classroom events/discussions around? Why? (can be science related or not) #scitlap

We do stoichiometry breakfast or lunch. Not really national event #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: Does anyone have a good source/calendar of dates that includes info from different sources? #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Q4: How can you bring that element of mystery, scarcity, or perceived danger to your classroom activity or structures? #scitlap

SueAtSea Aug 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4 Sometimes I ask S to please bring in the fire extinguisher from the hall & close the door! #scitlap

ossurkc54 Aug 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4- I think you have to be the energy and the mystery! It's the good stuff for students! They love it! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4 So many people mentioned social media.Using that combined w/ a message hook could create lots of buzz. Have other T on campus RT #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Aug 23 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4: first day demos were bubbling color changing messes. Ss ask to figure out why color changed #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:36 PM EDT

This is AWESOME!! I could do hte same thing by intentionally covering the windows in the doors & making a big deal of it. #scitlap

In reply to @SueAtSea

ADK_Science Aug 23 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4 maybe have misinterpreted Q, but always fun to use random siren clip for tornado/tsunami/etc & have Ss immediately plan response #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:37 PM EDT

Are these disasters that are common in your area? #scitlap

In reply to @ADK_Science

pentaclethra Aug 23 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4 Prepare that steak! Get Ss asking about the mystery and talking days ahead. A good hook goes a long way. #scitlap

ADK_Science Aug 23 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4: also mystery: teasing the next day w a quick clip on google classroom & asking what they think its about #scitlap

SueAtSea Aug 23 @ 9:38 PM EDT

They LOVE drama! #scitlap

In reply to @Partain_Science

AliceCB32 Aug 23 @ 9:38 PM EDT

#scitlap A4 you can end a class with a teaser questions and ask Ss to try and investigate and find answers before they come back.

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4: I thought about trying to play up the "I'm only going to be able to do this, this year" msg to increase the perceived scarcity #scitlap

pentaclethra Aug 23 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4 Perceived danger: "I've never done this before. You'd better put on your goggles." #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

Q5: What is something you do this yr that you want to try to "eventify"? What month? (we all need some accountability!) #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4: I also think Ss like when a T goes heavy on the safety equipment. Makes it seem more dangerous/exciting than it may really be. #scitlap

ADK_Science Aug 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

Classic. "Now stand back a bit. A little farther back, please." #scitlap

In reply to @pentaclethra

A4: before our crime scene electrophoresis lab, I make them suit up in the hall to prep and play mission impossible loudly, #scitlap

A5 I will do entry tickets for something. Ss also loved official “badges” I made for a PBL last year. #scitlap

ossurkc54 Aug 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A5- I've been thinking about some sort of phases of the moon month. Blast the days and phases in the halls, maybe tshirts #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Always find it harder to bring it the short notice kind of events. Nat disasters, things in news, what color is the dress controv #scitlap

SueAtSea Aug 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT

This year I think we are still in school at Winter solstice so yep thats an event for sure! December #scitlap

In reply to @ADK_Science

A5 Lots of new content for me this year, so I can't wait to see what pops up so that I can relate it back to my class #scitlap

Q6:Many schools/parks etc used the eclipse as an opportunity for comm outreach. How does your campus reach out to your community? #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT
