Moving forward with Q1: #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:03 PM EST

Q1: Ss learn best when they feel a part of your crew. How do you make and keep connections with your Ss? #scitlap https://t.co/KVc8A8IWaj

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:03 PM EST

@PerkyScience Fun to be here. #scitlap Science = Fun (or though my Ss still think Science = Magic)

BroCstart Mar 9 @ 9:03 PM EST

@SueAtSea ☺ #scitlap keeps me going, specially amidst rough waters.

Hello from Machias, ME! #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:04 PM EST

@SueAtSea Earlier today walked in Year 8 room where desks have been moved to reveal large space. Told them it was a dance floor #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:04 PM EST

A1 Talk to them individually. Learn what makes them individual.#scitlap

pentaclethra Mar 9 @ 9:04 PM EST

A1 Talk to students and use their interests in class. See them outside of school when possible. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:05 PM EST

hey to my crew! Lori from ATL. 7th gr life science to a super group of curious learners :) #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:05 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie Love! Awkwardness ensues! #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:05 PM EST

A1) Try and find something that S and I have in common. Else I get them interested in something quirky i do (like alpacas) #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:05 PM EST

Meggan, 8th grade science, late b/c we were at the dog park (& it's raining...ugh). #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:05 PM EST

A1 Talking one on on is powerful. Had my Ss do a physics project on their favorite activity. Learned so much about them. #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 9 @ 9:06 PM EST

#scitlap a1 ready to always adapt plans, seek out ss opinions, apologize when I'm wrong, and greet in hallways, be transparent

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:06 PM EST

@PerkyScience What a great idea! We designed sci experiments last week. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:06 PM EST

@SueAtSea Yeah. Year Level Co-ordinator walked in. Asked which S she wanted to dance with. Look of death will live with me forever #scitlap

jklingenberg_99 Mar 9 @ 9:06 PM EST

A1: Talk w/ the students. Try to make connections w/ them thru sports, interests, etc. Cheer them on during their events & shows. #scitlap

ColantoniSci Mar 9 @ 9:06 PM EST

I like to connect locations that the Ss have visited into the lessons. Hawaii for volcanoes, Grand Canyon for erosion, Museums #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:06 PM EST

@BroCstart Yes, *BE* in hallways! #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:07 PM EST

@Partain_Science Is it just raining dogs or do cats get a look in? #scitlap

lizzyfaydouglas Mar 9 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1 Listen to them! Show them that you care about their ideas and opinions. #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 9 @ 9:07 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie @SueAtSea #scitlap love it!

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:07 PM EST

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:08 PM EST

@ColantoniSci Easy for Earth Science! #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:08 PM EST

I have children similar age to my Ss so can cross paths outside of school. Halps keep connections real #scitlap

jdeinhammer Mar 9 @ 9:09 PM EST

@BroCstart agreed - asking Ss input on lessons and asking what they are interested in learning helps make connections #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:11 PM EST

A2 Just finished oceans. Maps! Snorkeling! Beach! Waves! Lots to love! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:11 PM EST

A2) give a variety of methods to prepare "show me what you know". I get art, tech, writing, etc. #scitlap

lesliefarooq Mar 9 @ 9:12 PM EST

A2: It depends on the topic, but I use current research, so much news in biology! Plus, students are alive and stuff. #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 9 @ 9:12 PM EST

Hello #scitlap Shabana Jameel, M.Ed From not so sunny🌧CA

pentaclethra Mar 9 @ 9:12 PM EST

A2 Play a song they know. Related to the lesson or not some are hooked. Put a prop or picture up that is familiar to them. #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:12 PM EST

@SciTeach7Davis Love it when Ss can show what they know rather than regurgitate through a test! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:12 PM EST

@lesliefarooq HA! They are alive... :) #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:12 PM EST

@BroCstart I’m intrigued! Keep us posted! Invite us in! #scitlap

A.1 Education is all about the relationships built. The best way is being present in the moment for Ss. #scitlap https://t.co/eoSOOSVcyV

daleyscience - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2 I try to use as much technology as I can. Looking up info on phones, etc. #scitlap

ColantoniSci Mar 9 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2. If Ss have examples of what we're learning I have them bring it in. One student brought in ash from Mt. St Helens (OMG) #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:16 PM EST

Building up to Q3 #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:17 PM EST

@ColantoniSci So cool! I love real world in the classroom! #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:17 PM EST

@ColantoniSci They love bringing in a rock or mineral! I requested (& recv’d) sand from Australia! #scitlap

mrssnowzms Mar 9 @ 9:17 PM EST

Jenna from Indy. 7/8 science. A2: use lots of humor. Memes are big right now. LP for tmrw. #scitlap https://t.co/iN8DwYgRXz

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2) ask, follow up, a little interest goes a long way #scitlap

ColantoniSci Mar 9 @ 9:18 PM EST

I have to do that more. A french Tr is tweeting a youtubing french cook with her classes. Coolest thing ever. #scitlap

jdeinhammer Mar 9 @ 9:18 PM EST

@SueAtSea @SciTeach7Davis here is the menu we are doing tomorrow-muscles and bones #scitlap https://t.co/lAMqyuoPXo

jklingenberg_99 Mar 9 @ 9:18 PM EST

I too get many rock samples. Some I have no idea about but the kids sure are excited to share! #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:18 PM EST

Q3: Ss need to see the big picture. How do you connect science content to science content? #scitlap https://t.co/Qt7AZCZip5

smarterteacher Mar 9 @ 9:19 PM EST

Nothing like real bones to help Ss make the connection to themselves in Anatomy. #scitlap https://t.co/SB23h2sE9w

@jdeinhammer @Partain_Science Here's a "mini" I found yesterday. Only a few hours old and running about #scitlap https://t.co/UpQgE3JkLW

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:21 PM EST

A3 in Tx 6th grade covers everything. Had Ss look for patterns in each unit. A start but want to do more next year. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:21 PM EST

@SueAtSea @ColantoniSci Yeah, we have a bit of sand here. #scitlap

golliharsclass Mar 9 @ 9:21 PM EST

#scitlap @golliharsclass from Texas

8blahblahblah8 Mar 9 @ 9:21 PM EST

@BroCstart And recently accused of being a "lesbian" for not dating😖Male🕌Scholars. When I'm not laughing, it kind of is upsetting. #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 9 @ 9:21 PM EST

#scitlap A3 #ngss cross cutting concepts should make this easy, but I haven't figured out how yet.

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:21 PM EST

A3 Chemistry is a common thread in minerals, oceans, weather. #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:22 PM EST

A3 .@NASAEarth connects my strands for me with everything they monitor, collect data from! #scitlap

jdeinhammer Mar 9 @ 9:22 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie @Partain_Science thats the best thing i have seen all day #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:22 PM EST

@BroCstart I am right there with you! I am seriously looking for help here! #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 9 @ 9:22 PM EST

#scitlap A3 cont. I see conxns in sci everywhere, still working on helping ss see them without me pointing them out.

golliharsclass Mar 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

#scitlap A3: by finding a common theme. We integrate science and SS so the theme is science's impact on society.

ColantoniSci Mar 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

@smarterteacher That is phenomenal! I'm new to the science scene, where's the best place to order things like these? #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

@BroCstart I find if you highlight careers, it helps see how they connect. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3) I often break from curriculum and sum up contemporary science issues. Gives you something to relate back to when tying up #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3 a Good question, I always just try to build on previous lessons. Looking forward to others responses. #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

@SueAtSea @BroCstart Great tie in! #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie @ColantoniSci I want Galapagos green sand. Missed out when i was there! #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

@jdeinhammer @Partain_Science 98 more where they came from #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:24 PM EST

@daleyscience I think it is challenging when you teach a general science class. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:24 PM EST

@SueAtSea @ColantoniSci What mineral is green sand made from? #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:24 PM EST

@BroCstart at the age I teach, they can’t connect those dots independently yet. #scitlap

8blahblahblah8 Mar 9 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3: 🅰Intro Unit. 🅱Remind Ss of Theme each Lessons. EX: Habitats A _____ is a🏠for (insert animal) #scitlap #SocialStudies integration

vicpasquantonio Mar 9 @ 9:25 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie @SueAtSea This is something they'll remember forever #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:25 PM EST

Q4 builds on Q3. up next... #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:25 PM EST

Q4: Looking to the bigger picture, how do you make connections to other content areas? #scitlap https://t.co/RNJlB0OuSM

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:25 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie @ColantoniSci Olivine? Chlorite? #scitlap

smarterteacher Mar 9 @ 9:25 PM EST

Real bones are quite $$$$$ I am fortunate to have 3 skeletons 2 from my S days and one a Dr gave me. #scitlap https://t.co/kshUUYAiGZ

ColantoniSci Mar 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

@smarterteacher That is phenomenal! I'm new to the science scene, where's the best place to order things like these? #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:25 PM EST

@SueAtSea @BroCstart I think younger Ss or those w/ limited experiences struggle w/ seeing connections #scitlap

jklingenberg_99 Mar 9 @ 9:26 PM EST

@SueAtSea what age do you teach? I may have missed it. #scitlap

ColantoniSci Mar 9 @ 9:26 PM EST

@SueAtSea Same. Curriculum moves with answering where does ____ come from: minerals- formations of rocks- volcanoes, etc #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:26 PM EST

@vicpasquantonio @SueAtSea Yeah. And when we go back over work I can say, remember teh day we had the dancefloor.... #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3) I try to mention homeostasis as often as possible. I find Ss have to build this concept over a LONG time. #scitlap

8blahblahblah8 Mar 9 @ 9:26 PM EST

@smarterteacher @ColantoniSci THAT IS SO CREEPY. lol. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:26 PM EST

@PerkyScience I mostly teach life science, so try to build from cell to ecosystem. #scitlap

mrterborg Mar 9 @ 9:26 PM EST

#scitlap - Mike From MD. A crazy librarian who teaches Ss about pretty much everything in the library.

mrterborg Mar 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

#scitlap We've been studying space for the year. Also volcanos and earthquakes. @nasa videos and Google Earth Pro are phenom.

jklingenberg_99 Mar 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

We do some writing with the water cycle, creating their own path a drop takes #scitlap

golliharsclass Mar 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

#scitlap A4: larger themes. What is science's impact on a nation (i.e. -tech advances- Dust Bowl) or weather patterns/forces of nature.

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

@mrterborg Well, hello. New to this chat? #scitlap

smarterteacher Mar 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

Q.4 I teach LEARNING on a path called science, so connections to other disciplines is a natural thread. #scitlap https://t.co/dt7nAjvU7K

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

@PerkyScience @Partain_Science @BroCstart 6th in August and 6th in May are very different! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

A4 This seems easier. Anything with writing and ELA, even classification of organisms and classifying genres. #scitlap

pentaclethra Mar 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3 I relate everything back to energy and matter. Your cross cutting concepts. #scitlap #ngss

Partain_Science - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

@SueAtSea @PerkyScience @BroCstart This is SO true. The physical & mental growth is undeniable. #scitlap

mrterborg Mar 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

@pentaclethra The more neural connections students make the better. Music helps. #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

@SueAtSea @Partain_Science @BroCstart For sure! and a whole different species in 7th. #scitlap

golliharsclass Mar 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

#scitlap A4: the positives and negatives of innovation and technology. Impacts on society and future societies.

ColantoniSci Mar 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

@SueAtSea @GruntledChalkie I want to go there! Those islands are such an intriguing study for Bio. (Marine iguanas are my top favs) #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

A4) I teach same Year 8 group for maths and science. Negative numbers was all about temperature (in celsius) #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

A4 Math connections are easy, graphing, metrics, etc. #scitlap

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4 We are studying human body in 7th. I want to connect with PE classes. #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie Ocean depth graphing —> negative numbers #scitlap

8blahblahblah8 Mar 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4: ALWAYS integrated ELA Taught ELLs. Currently📝my Theory🍎😊 #NGSS caught up to me🙊 #scitlap

golliharsclass Mar 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

#scitlap A4: everything comes back to science, math and language arts. It's all connected anyway- why separate it?

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4b) i also link in with English teacher. They are studying Hunger Games so I will use example from novel when doing energy #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4 Geography too...I was just talking Darwin and South America yesterday. #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

#scitlap a4 We do a lot w public speaking presenting, mindset, but I struggle to connect content. I'm in a silo, w/out much collaboration

smarterteacher Mar 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

Once they get over they aren't real the learning is so much more authentic. #scitlap https://t.co/T4jyfukbB4

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:30 PM EST

@BroCstart I have had my Ss tell other areas how science connects. That is a start. #scitlap

pentaclethra Mar 9 @ 9:30 PM EST

A4 I like to emphasize that scientists are people too. In their own time, place, and culture. It helped define who they are/were. #scitlap

BroCstart Mar 9 @ 9:30 PM EST

@PerkyScience @SueAtSea @Partain_Science why I love teaching 6-8. Incredible how much they grow #scitlap

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:30 PM EST

A4 to social studies - maps, energy, natural resources, mining practices #scitlap

mrterborg Mar 9 @ 9:30 PM EST

SueAtSea Mar 9 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4 languages - roots of words helps you figure out new words, where product names come from. Lysol, Noxzema anyone? #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 9:32 PM EST

And I did geology just before their camp. #scitlap https://t.co/YJxTI6OtSF

PerkyScience Mar 9 @ 9:32 PM EST
