@PErachelbell Thanks for joining us tonight. Hopefully you'll leave with some great instructional strategies! #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: A bizarre, grouping technique I used involved Lisa Frank stickers. Kittens were together, all the cheetahs together, etc. #scitlap #90s

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 Also pass out Go Fish cards as Ss enter. Then group them by suit. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell Haha. What a great past time! #scitlap

JennyWamsley - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

ramymahmoud21 Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@andreakornowski we use the 2nd letter as the tie-break. Then the first. Hilarious to watch #scitlap

ChemLes Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: #scitlap I have Ss help come up with ways to group themselves, such as who got choc in their easter basket. they have great ideas

BroCstart Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

#scitlap laundry... not even a pirate enjoys day old socks. Back in a few!

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

I've got a set of random grouping cards by number, shape, letter, or symbol. Always great to build some excitement. #scitlap

PErachelbell Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@andreakornowski A1: not too creative but I like splitting the class up with mac's and cheese's. Each pair must be a Mac & cheese #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: Science in the real world. Kids love to share their experiences and be an "expert" on a subject! #scitlap https://t.co/k9t1apcZRM

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Q2: What are your favorite ways to engage Ss in discussions in the classroom? Do you have any favorite topics to do this with? #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@PErachelbell That inspired my idea of cations/anions in chemistry. Must have opposite charge. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: Recently did an "energyMadness" unit that ended up in head to head debates. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: I also try to provide Ss with sentence frames in discussions, to help all Ss have access points to the convo. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: A good fishbowl also gets Ss discussing. Did this with different sides of an environmental issue. #scitlap

ChemLes Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

a2: #scitlap We are in cells now so we watch https://t.co/WiRNyuMu9l and debate if we should live forever. I use https://t.co/BSgvR2Rxn1

KRScienceLady Apr 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 I'm a believer in scientists'meetings where Ss sit N circle, make eye contact, probe each other's thinking, ask each other ?s #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell We did this too and offered different gamification XP points for each of them. #scitlap #xplap

lisaomeeks Apr 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Q2: for 8th graders just need to ask them what do they think about it....they love to tell you! #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Q2.5: Which strategies do you use to engage students in a preview of content? #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: I'm excited to try socratic smackdown! https://t.co/MtxiObKqRZ #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@andreakornowski I like it! I'm going to save this idea. I'm starting out next school year with a gamified classroom! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 Sometimes I want to unengage them in discussions, lol. #Everyonehasastory #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@ChemLes No one has said they've tried it. Looking forward to by the end of the year. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2) old favourites: space and disease. I throw up hypertheticals, give Ss roles and ask them how they will act #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@daleyscience They were so passionate yesterday we had to add closing statements to get them to stop talking. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: Excited to try online discussions reflecting on CNN news or current events. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie Role playing cards are always great! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@andreakornowski Start a google doc where Ss can add their ideas. Monday surprise seating challenges! #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Good discussion can often be misunderstood science, things that are badly reported or something topical #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis Genius! #scitlap https://t.co/T2sojZRFnw

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Q3: In what ways do you use pre-assessment in the classroom? #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@daleyscience I think that's where solid questioning in role playing is good. Can throw up in doubt in S mind #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2: I have a few Ss who don't like to share in discussions, so I use "talking chips." Each student must spend 2 chips in the chat. #scitlap

KRScienceLady Apr 27 @ 9:22 PM EDT

#scitlap Ss need opportunity 2 investigate 2 discover for themselves and change their ideas. https://t.co/i9ABFAZaar

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady Agree! #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: Silent ink discussion. Provide Ss graph, figure, or image to reflect on. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Here's a link to some sample seating challenges...Set up a form and post on your blog. Ss will do the rest! #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady I note that our whole HS sci course has an underlying theme of energy so can alway go back and connect to it #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:23 PM EDT

ChemLes Apr 27 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: I use a pre-assessment everyday to see where my Ss are for the day. They are 6th graders so you never know what they remember! #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@SarahBosch1 That's an excellent concept to do that with. Also parts of a lab report/experiment. #scitlap

BroCstart Apr 27 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis what link? #scitlap

PErachelbell Apr 27 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: pre test on the knowledge of sport, sports combine, mini games #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@BroCstart @daleyscience Maybe I could have worded that differently :) #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3) I use the "graffiti board" brainstorm on butcher paper. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: I don't do this enough... #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie Nope....perfect. I may steal it! #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Level of Agreement - have Ss move to a place on a line to represent how strongly they agree/disagree with a statement. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

It would help to include the link! https://t.co/lAdFKCce26 #scitlap https://t.co/HfmbiqVrFx

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3) pre-ass is great to see where the starting points are. I often use at start of lesson to see what we need to know #scitlap

lisaomeeks Apr 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A2.5: up poster board, give topic and one @a time Ss come up and write something about new topic. We see how much we can write. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: Always great to start out a unit with a chalk talk. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: "Grafitti" around the room to respond to statements about the topic. Ss respond in writing to one anothers ideas. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@ChemLes Big sheets of butcher paper with a prompt either a) on smartboard or B) directly on paper. Markers pass around. #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: Quick writes. Ss have 2.5 minutes to write about everything the can about a topic. Gives info on knowledge and misconceptions. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 The Collins Writing program has great ways for quick assessments in Type 1 and 2 writing. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:27 PM EDT

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Ss in in Yr 8 science have heard lots of weird things. Tying them together, separating truth from rumour.. pre-ass lets me do this #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Any great resources for misconceptions? #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3: I like to use open ended pre-assesments or daily warm-ups let's me know thinking. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@andreakornowski @ohwowmrspowell Agreed. Great idea, will do the question board thingy #scitlap

JennyWamsley - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3. I usually start w/ ABC, list of what they know/heard/ of the unit. Whole class discussion. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Q4: What are some ways or strategies in which you engage Ss around vocabulary in the classroom? #scitlap

ChemLes Apr 27 @ 9:29 PM EDT

a4: #scitlap @GetKahoot will get Ss fighting over each other to practice their vocab words!

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@andreakornowski It's great PLC work because we can vary our content and have common assessment with Claims Evidence Rubric. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4: Ss write raps/songs/chants about sci words. Vocab games (charades, Taboo) during transitions - lining up for lunch, etc. #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4 Incorporate vocab into games Ss already know. Heads Up (hilarious) Taboo, Catch Phrase, the list is endless. #scitlap

KRScienceLady Apr 27 @ 9:31 PM EDT

#scitlap YET ! Ss need multiple opportunities 2 investigate,find evidence,develop tentative claims, maybe , E-C-R https://t.co/7fhdyBjvob

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: I just looked at a Pre-test and a formative for claims and Evidence. Not proficient, YET. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4 Always have Ss try to use sci vocab at the dinner table. "Please pass the eukaryotic, multicellular autotrophs (aka veggies) #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@PerkyScience We played heads up for the first time in class for AP vocab review and Ss loved it! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:31 PM EDT

a4) My daughter's bio teacher is big on Frayer model for vocab. Not THAT engaging while completing, but certainly a sound practice #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@daleyscience So cute! Parents would LOVE this... #scitlap

BroCstart Apr 27 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis what is the frayer model? That's new to me #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis Saw an NSTA article on doing this as a group. Encourages dialog and perhaps deeper learning. Trying it this week. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4: XP points for finding and taking a picture of the word in the real world. Post to instagram? #scitlap

Eisenacher132 Apr 27 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4 #scitlap Alpha boxes. List all vocab words know for each letter of Alphabet on topic we are studying.

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@daleyscience What a fun idea! Our Ss ask to "go maintain homeostasis" (use the restroom). #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: My favorite vocabulary review is playing charades. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@PerkyScience @daleyscience LOL I have trained mine to say they need to "return water to the hydrologic cycle." #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Q5: Which active learning strategies do you use to engage Ss in new content? How does this put ownership in Ss hands? #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell @andreakornowski I put the required word wall on my ceiling. It made using it much more fun for Ss and me. #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@andreakornowski I use to have carpet like wall - cubical style. I used velcro. Moveable words for games. #scitlap

@PerkyScience @andreakornowski How do you attach/post the words? And is your fire marshall okay with that? I'm nervous! #scitlap

BroCstart Apr 27 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis got it, thanks! Pretty dry. Wonder if a way to spice up Frayer model? #scitlap

ChemLes Apr 27 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4: Hey I was wondering if any one had research on the effectiveness of word walls? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5 Hooks, hooks, and more hooks! #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell @andreakornowski Fire marshal didn't say anything. Words on laminated poster boards cut out same size as tiles. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5) I did a Science TV activity where they had to make a "mythbuster" type video to explain chemical change to me #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell @PerkyScience @andreakornowski I use sentence charts and put words on sentence straps. #scitlap

ortagisd Apr 27 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Q5: an authentic audience always helps motivate. Also, find the interjection of student interest through content integration #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie awesome! #scitlap

BroCstart Apr 27 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5 #scitlap start with a problem, like, Americans waste so many tons of food and this leads to nutrient cycling (and civics, economics...

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie This is a great idea for physical and chemical change! Gas lawas? #scitlap

ChemLes Apr 27 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Show them if they dont understand this scientific concept they wont get the world around them through hooks, labs, games, etc. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5: Act things out, have Ss "teach"/repeat things to one another. Some whole brain strategies. Accountability for paying attn! #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie This is a great idea for physical/chemical change...gas laws...states of matter? Newton's laws? #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@ChemLes Not sure of research, but I think it depends on frequency of use and referral. If it's just a visual, not that effective. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Some videos were poor but a few were amazing, and from Ss who were not good at traditional assessment #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@ortagisd Love it when I can find different ways for Ss to share their learning with others. #scitlap

ortagisd Apr 27 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5: ending w/ an authentic audience helps motivate. Also-find the interjection of student interest through content integration #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@BroCstart I'm hoping to have Ss solve environmental problems though design thinking with shark tank twist. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@ChemLes If it's interactive for Ss, much more effective. That's a challenge for me, so I wonder sometimes about how useful mine is.#scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@BroCstart @SciTeach7Davis I like frayer model after teaching word. Big engagement when I introduce. #scitlap

ChemLes Apr 27 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@ortagisd I love having an authentic audience! makes it more meaningful and gets the community involved! #scitlap How do you do it?

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Examples I got were coke and menthos match stick rockets processes for separating diff powders #scitlap https://t.co/QiSwFa6kmb

BroCstart Apr 27 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@andreakornowski nice! We did a cyborg eye as a shark tank. Had some college profs I know come in judge. Great public speaking #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: Memes, Sketchnotes, Amazing Race Challenges, QR code scavenger hunts. #scitlap

ChemLes Apr 27 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell That is something that I struggle with. How to give them ownership and make it a meaningful resource #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@SarahBosch1 @BroCstart @SciTeach7Davis Look into Science Scope article this month. incorporates Frayer and Word Walls. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Q6: What are some of your go to strategies to engage Ss in a review of content? #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: Had Ss crowdsource key concepts for AP Exam Review: Figures/Graphs/Tables/Images, People, Laws, Case Studies, Vocab. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A6) Stories. When all else fails tie things into a story... historical, funny, disaster, stupidity... stories grab them everytime #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A6) my kids LOVE Kahoot. I like Socrative better... #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A5: I try to give students an experience before I introduce a word. Otherwise visuals with examples non-examples. S sort. #scitlap

BroCstart Apr 27 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A6 #scitlap anything along the lines of show me! Make a poster, video, commercial, bonus, can refine these as summative

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A6: I love Quizlet Scatter for vocab fluency practice, and really just boosting student confidence with content #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Definite go to is BINGO. They fill in vocab and I say definition/description #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis Kahoot is like educational crack. It seems the Ss can't get enough. #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie Stories about my childhood or about my children. Hooks them every time. #scitlap

ChemLes Apr 27 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Q6: @plickers or @GetKahoot I also have the Ss create their own review for topics and then give present it. Double the review!! #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@daleyscience It's been a really long time since I've done this! #scitlap

ortagisd Apr 27 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6: peer reviews or authentic products using a variety of tools-E.g create a movie/commercial explaining a concept (with a twist) #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6: Quiz, quiz, trade with student generated questions. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Apr 27 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@SarahBosch1 And in my case: stories about alpacas seem to crop in a lot #scitlap

BroCstart Apr 27 @ 9:46 PM EDT

#scitlap hate to jump ship early, but laundry need folding. Peace!

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6: I also try to make reviews high on the critical thinking spectrum - not just recall, but application, using a Graffiti task #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@daleyscience Having Ss make their own cards is one of my favorite. Cuts down on my work and increases their engagement. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@BroCstart Thanks for joining us! Stay tuned for a collaborative project based on tonight's discussion! #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@PerkyScience @daleyscience You could have them anticipate key concepts from the chapter to create it. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6: An example of what I mean by Graffiti review https://t.co/Nub5fvlZEB #scitlap

ortagisd Apr 27 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6: summarize a-la tweet, snap chat super quick explanation #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Q7: What does assessment (aka celebration of learning) look like in your classroom? What are the components of quality assessment? #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@ortagisd Great point! #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6: Have Ss make memes for review. (Or infographics, but memes are funner) Best ones are hung in the classroom. #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@ortagisd I love having students help me write a tweet as the review at the end of lesson. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Almost did this on my last quiz instead of essay question. Main point in 140 characters. #scitlap https://t.co/YQtXmqDtbP

ortagisd Apr 27 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6: summarize a-la tweet, snap chat super quick explanation #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@SarahBosch1 @ortagisd I've done this with lab safety rules and it was awesome. #scitlap

lisaomeeks Apr 27 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A6: for review, Kahoot also Share projects, have Ss grade each other's..now they have to read the info! They love to "grade" #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@daleyscience or a certain number of words...5 word summary? #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7: Assessment needs to be application of knowledge. Example: Ss created "aliens to live on other planets to show physical props. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:50 PM EDT

Less is more! #scitlap https://t.co/61tEhBt5rL

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@daleyscience or a certain number of words...5 word summary? #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7: As short as possible, focused, to the point, and true indicators of learning. Assessments should match the instruction. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@lisaomeeks I had an #eduwin with Ss peer assessing on Canvas and they asked if they could redo their lab and turn it in. #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@andreakornowski @daleyscience We have done "6 word stories" quickly shows what Ss think is important. #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@daleyscience I use Bingo in the last week of school every year with list of year's vocabulary. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7: I use a lot of entrance/exit tickets for Math & Science, then give prompt feedback - most important element. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7: Try to incorporate scientific investigation or interpretation of data section on each assessment. #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:53 PM EDT

CTA: What strategy or strategies can you use this week in your classroom? #scitlap

lisaomeeks Apr 27 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Now that's great learning! Happens to me too. Ss seem to almost want project to be better for peers. #scitlap https://t.co/nkOEH1qyjY

@lisaomeeks I had an #eduwin with Ss peer assessing on Canvas and they asked if they could redo their lab and turn it in. #scitlap

ChemLes Apr 27 @ 9:53 PM EDT

a7: I love #PBL and we do a lot of lab practical tests. Why give a paper pencil test, when we teach using hands on labs? #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@ChemLes I thought about gamifying labs..by taking away a piece of equipment...or "running out" of a reactant. #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A7: I've been trying more test questions like:a group of kids did this investigation with this data table. then start Q about it #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A7 I just like to have many types of assessments formal/informal....focused on different things - vocab, skill, concept. #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A7: I've been trying to break assessments into smaller chunks. 1 page. 2 max. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Good point. #scitlap https://t.co/FkuLbB8EcH

SarahBosch1 Apr 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell I do this with Seesaw app. Easier for me to give feedback. #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

CTA A bit late in the year, but I need to be better with formative assessments. I hate teaching stuff Ss already know. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Apr 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@SarahBosch1 A lot of my coworkers use Seesaw this way and love it. I haven't tried it yet but I think I need to! Hear good things. #scitlap

PerkyScience Apr 27 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@SarahBosch1 I have a colleague who breaks them down by standard. They know what standards are mastered and what need more time. #scitlap

ChemLes Apr 27 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@PerkyScience @SarahBosch1 that is my goal for next year! Do you do standards based grading? #scitlap

andreakornowski - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@PerkyScience @SarahBosch1 This is our first year reporting by learning target. Really great way to report learning. #scitlap
