Q2 What are your criteria for #NGSS/#STEM thinking? #elngsschat

biologygoddess Dec 8 @ 8:14 PM EST

in 7-12 I find that non science people avoid STEM whenever possible #elngsschat

In reply to @halliesmills

MillstoneSteam Dec 8 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1: Students developing new questions about how the world around them works, and how they can impact that world #elngsschat

BTopink Dec 8 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2 Learning activities that bundle an engineering project & science content, always with an eye to cross-cutting concepts. #NGSS #elngsschat

MissCastronovo7 Dec 8 @ 8:16 PM EST

I see that too. I think they see short STEM projects related to the content as more manageable than creating whole science units #elngsschat

In reply to @halliesmills

BTopink Dec 8 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2 PBLs whenever possible, linked to current event or local issue. #elngsschat

biologygoddess Dec 8 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2 Ss must be able allowed/encouraged to use increasingly sophisticated thinking & demonstrate learning in new ways #elngsschat

Tough to shake a silo-ed mentality in elem. but interdisciplinary thinking is SO important. #elngsschat

In reply to @halliesmills, @biologygoddess

KRScienceLady - Moderator Dec 8 @ 8:18 PM EST

Being totally engaged in the SEPs or in revising something they have designed. #elngsschat

MissCastronovo7 Dec 8 @ 8:18 PM EST

KRScienceLady - Moderator Dec 8 @ 8:19 PM EST

Thinking about criteria, understanding that making mistakes and moving 4ward is learning , not a failure #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Dec 8 @ 8:20 PM EST

Q3 Why is it important to develop these characteristics in children? #elngsschat

BTopink Dec 8 @ 8:20 PM EST

My co-teachers are more and more on board with this. Being "STEAM" helps because I can consult them for ELA advice. #elngsschat

In reply to @KRScienceLady

biologygoddess Dec 8 @ 8:20 PM EST

To do this we have to change the culture of accepting failure, Ss should always revise & resubmit work #elngsschat

biologygoddess Dec 8 @ 8:24 PM EST

we have a new PLC period every other day but opposite of humanities so not really #elngsschat

In reply to @halliesmills

A3 it provides opportunities for students to do some deep learning in science, mathematics , engineering, learning 2 grapple #elngsschat

richbacolor Dec 8 @ 8:24 PM EST

True! Would also add that we need Ss to produce data for analysis too. Not just consumers of “settled” science. #elngsschat
