@BroCstart That is funny..nutrient cycling is one of my least favorite 7th topics! #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 23 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@Kpalmerscience do you use squishy circuits? My ss love those! #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Mar 23 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @TinyTapit You can even create student accounts without adding student e-mails. #scitlap

@Partain_Science I want to do composting, vermicomposting to make it real, Otherwise too abstract #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Mar 23 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @SarahBosch1 @TinyTapit Not how.... what equip do you use. Mics? or just mic on computer or ipad? #scitlap

Kpalmerscience Mar 23 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@BroCstart I usually have them bring christmas lights from home and we strip them and then use them to build series and parallel. #scitlap

Kpalmerscience Mar 23 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@BroCstart trying to get some littlebits soon! #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Mar 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6: 3rd grade sound, 1st grade air, 5 force and motion. I want this. #scitlap https://t.co/zT6lTahsfS

@Kpalmerscience also awesome! I have 2 sets of @littlebits. Love em! #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Mar 23 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @TinyTapit Just mic on iPad. Some you hear background noise. Maybe only create on mobile device? #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Mar 23 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@smarterteacher @BroCstart Awesome! Think it was last yr I killed a bunch of worms in vermicomposting gone bad(not intentionally) #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Mar 23 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@MsCorriG Of Course! Air can move thins! and a greater force causes a greater change in motion. #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 23 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@smarterteacher @Partain_Science awesome! Any tips on setting such up & tying to curriculum? This is new ground for me. #scitlap

burgessdave Mar 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@Partain_Science Great question, Meggan!! #scitlap Love that you spreading positive strokes to educators!!

SarahBosch1 Mar 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@BroCstart @Kpalmerscience @littlebits What are squishy circuits and little bits? Have you made Gak that is a conductor? #scitlap

MsCorriG Mar 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A7: @SarahBosch1 had her class doing a Twitter chat. I am hoping to do the same in the next couple of weeks. #scitlap

A7 So glad you asked. Found out today one colleague is doing a huge chestnut tree project and another is making robots! So cool! #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 23 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@SarahBosch1 https://t.co/W071s4TMIY squishy circuits use salt dough, sugar dough to build circuits #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Mar 23 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@MsCorriG Let's Chat on the same day! We can find overlap! Landforms or Ecosystems or Rivers? Or Anything! #scitlap

Kpalmerscience Mar 23 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7: I don't ever get to visit other classrooms, but know that the 7th grade sci Ts are in the middle of a biome project #scitlap

@daleyscience I've been wanting a Fog Machine! I have no idea why. What do you use it for? #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 23 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@SarahBosch1 https://t.co/Mt2HDAEj1N little bits are small, snap together circuits, #scitlap

smarterteacher Mar 23 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@BroCstart @Partain_Science I bought 50 red worms and started with a rubbermaid bin I ask students to bring in scraps from lunch. #scitlap

Kpalmerscience Mar 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@daleyscience @SarahBosch1 I wanted one so I had students do it as engineer chsllenge...now I have 5! #scitlap

MsCorriG Mar 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@SarahBosch1 Sounds like a great time! We could bring in our science teacher as well. #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Mar 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@BroCstart Ok. I have snap circuits. Similar maybe? #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Mar 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@Kpalmerscience If you can every make this happen it is probably the best PD you can get IMHO! #scitlap

@Kpalmerscience #scitlap We implemented this year the chance to go into other classrooms monthly. Great chance to see how others teach!

BroCstart Mar 23 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@smarterteacher @Partain_Science sounds easy enough! Been reading on it a lot. Was there any problem with smell? #scitlap

@Kpalmerscience I do b/c of my position. I teach 2 periods a day & support T the rest of the day #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 23 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@SarahBosch1 maybe, I've not heard of snap circits. @littlebits are rather pricey, which is their only real downside #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Mar 23 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@BroCstart @smarterteacher My worms escaped. The inservice I went to said keeping a light on helped?!? #scitlap

Kpalmerscience Mar 23 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@sevenoutof10 I think it would be a game changer for my campus! So much to share and learn #scitlap

@BroCstart @Partain_Science don't allow proteins and no citrus. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Mar 23 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@Kpalmerscience Do you think you could find anyone on campus. Once T saw it was just T to T & not PDAS maybe they'd be ok? #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Mar 23 @ 9:55 PM EDT
