If we are talking about a lesson we were taught...I'm jumping back to 5th grade Oceanography when I realized sci was my thang! #scitlap

OurPerkyScience May 17 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q3: Sticking for Students...What lesson would your Ss say stuck the most with them this year? What made it different? #scitlap

#scitlap We often write on our windows, as extra white boards; meantime my black lab benches have clearly been questioning my loyalty!

smarterteacher May 17 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Anytime you break the rules and write where you are not supposed to... #scitlap

OurPerkyScience May 17 @ 9:43 PM EDT

I want to have Ss create their own TEDtalk. I know there is a forum for that...now to find it again. #scitlap

A6 If it does not include #StudentVoice or engagement I kick it to the curb Everything should have Ss voice & thoughts #scitlap

Yes, if S's aren't engaged it needs to be rethought. Teaching unengaged S's is fun for no one. #scitlap

A6 If it involves a packet of recall/mindlessness. I have gotten rid of all those packets this year. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 17 @ 9:49 PM EDT

This was one of my favorite things this year. #scitlap

Here is my list of TEDs I use in various courses and for education. #scitlap https://t.co/uvUJHBJRQe

Of course! #scitlap

A6 I started to move towards more online and made sure there was more student involvement in my sections. #scitlap

PerkyScience May 17 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Q7: Looking back what activity will you stick with for next year after it is tweeted, and what tweeking is needed? #scitlap

BroCstart May 17 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Oh fave lab that stuck for ss: use starburst candies to model rock cycle! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 17 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6 Just today I let go of my giant food web. I always loved it, but too many have done it in earlier grades. #scitlap #movinon

cathylw2 May 17 @ 9:52 PM EDT

#scitlap A4 Yes, this exact one comes back on me periodically too!

daleyscience - Moderator May 17 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4 They got a kick out of me telling them there is no such thing as cold. They still bring it up if I say "it's cold in here" #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury May 17 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A5: Whiteboarding! #scitlap

BKd204Sci May 17 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7 #DrivingQuestionBoard It is so powerful & cornerstone of #NGSS storylines Tweak is consistency & Ss ? development #scitlap

smarterteacher May 17 @ 9:54 PM EDT

This is how I feel about that... #scitlap

In reply to @cmkrebs, @daleyscience, @OurPerkyScience

BroCstart May 17 @ 9:54 PM EDT

a7 #scitlap cell stories. (Tell story w/ organelles as characters) Tweak: build a model big enough to walk in. Thanks @GingerLewman 4 idea

Mr_Canterbury May 17 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A7: I liked having Ss build motors and then generators. I need to add a lab page to support their learning experience. #scitlap

PerkyScience May 17 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Two powerful ways to make things better. So glad you joined us today! #scitlap

That would be awesome & easy to do. I've made lots of huge plastic walk-in bubbles! #scitlap

I struggle to provide enough support for ss... tend to drop 'em in deep water and hope for best... #scitlap

Reflection the the learning is such a huge piece that is too often overlooked. Thanks for the reminder. #scitlap

In reply to @Mr_Canterbury

BroCstart May 17 @ 9:56 PM EDT

What materials did you use for the bubble? #scitlap

In reply to @Partain_Science, @GingerLewman

daleyscience - Moderator May 17 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A7 Probably my Tiny House Energy Project. Reflection Qs need tweaking...so fun. #scitlap

PerkyScience May 17 @ 9:56 PM EDT

It is so hard to anticipate what life raft will be needed when you head out on new adventures. Hopefully Ss learn to swim with you. #scitlap

In reply to @BroCstart, @Mr_Canterbury

BroCstart May 17 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Nice! I do something similar, but yours looks much more polished. #scitlap

In reply to @daleyscience

Mr_Canterbury May 17 @ 9:56 PM EDT

where did you get the thermal camera??? #scitlap

In reply to @daleyscience

Mr_Canterbury May 17 @ 9:57 PM EDT

adding a reflection piece to our teaching greatly increased student growth, our data showed. #scitlap

In reply to @PerkyScience, @BroCstart

BroCstart May 17 @ 9:57 PM EDT

:-D Anymore, they are up for the challenge. I'm the only sci teacher they know, so they think I'm "normal" #scitlap

In reply to @PerkyScience, @Mr_Canterbury

PerkyScience May 17 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Q8: What is a new resource or idea that you will stick with in the future? How will you make it stick? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 17 @ 9:58 PM EDT

The thermal camera is really just a lie. I used photo booth on the iPad. Not perfect, but you can see where the light escapes. #scitlap

In reply to @Mr_Canterbury

Mr_Canterbury May 17 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A8: Our new textbooks were a great choice for our Ss this year. They are consumable so students can write in them! #scitlap

BroCstart May 17 @ 9:59 PM EDT

That's a brilliant hack! #scitlap
