Hi crew, I'm Kristin - 7th grade science from MA. Favorite basic? My LCD projector. #scitlap

I probably spend too much time on my slides, but my Ss seem to like them. Sometimes I hide things in for Ss to look for. #scitlap

Hey #SciTLAP family! I made it! Stella from KY here. Happy to join in.

Q2. You are starting a new unit. What is your top engagement hooks? How do you get the Ls to buy that ticket? #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT

I am still working with these. What do they contain and where do you like to hide them? #scitlap

In reply to @Stella_Pollard

Stella_Pollard Oct 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: I make videos for my students to ‘hook’ them into the lesson. Tomorrow, I have a video to introduce them to roller coasters. #scitlap

Stella_Pollard Oct 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

I make “invisible” links inside of Google Docs. I don’t tell the kids they’re there. If they find &do it, they get a badge. #SciTLAP

A2: I am also a big fan of engaging hyperdocs to introduce the new content. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2 Something I can always be working on. I definitely pre-heat big labs, but not before a Unit. You got me thinking. #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

My favorite intro activity so far is till a digital @breakoutEDU The Ls love it and always ask for more. #scitlap

Graphic organizers are good, I don’t want to burn my Ls out. Looking for other tools to shake it up. #scitlap

Q3. Note taking -- A plan to organize information can make a difference for learning. How do your Ss take effective notes? #scitlap

karlacalbear Oct 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 I teach content organization in general over specific note-taking. I really like visual notes on our iPads. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: This is something that my students (and myself) really struggle with. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 We don't take notes very much at least traditional ones. I either make guided notes hand outs and I have also tried Sketchnotes #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Once the Ls understand what an infographic is it can be a great tool. I have found there is a learning curve. Have to model. #scitlap

In reply to @Stella_Pollard

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3b I love Sketchnotes, but Ss always just want to copy my example. #scitlap

Stella_Pollard Oct 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Allow kids to DIY their own infographics based off of their findings. #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Have you had them make thinking maps with Keynote or Pages? They have added a lot of new shapes that makes it fun and easy. #scitlap

In reply to @karlacalbear

Stella_Pollard Oct 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Instead of taking notes, why not have the Ss make a Google Site, upload their work onto it, and reflect in a text box under. #scitlap

Stella_Pollard Oct 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

You could also do sketchnoting! #scitlap

In reply to @PerkyScience

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Q4. Vocabulary helps to control and give meaning the learning. How do you make learning new vacabulary amazing? #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

I recently tried speed sketch noting. It was fun and got them away from the “perfect picture paralysis”. #scitlap

In reply to @daleyscience

Stella_Pollard Oct 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: Love using NearPod for this! I also love doing a galley walk with the vocab words and having Ss make inferences. #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Just got home. Long day and now for grading and planning and #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

I like infopics. Ss find a picture that represents the word then add an explanation in 5 - 7 words or less. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT

There is such a worry of doing Sketchnotes wrong. I had a hard time convincing them to "let go" #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

My kids love the cutting tool in PicCollage. They use it to “green screen” many things. A fun addition to learning. #scitlap

I haven’t used them before. Thanks for the reminder. #scitlap

In reply to @SciTeach7Davis, @USATODAY

karlacalbear Oct 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4 pt2 big units have natural way 2 learn vocab as Ss discover, test & engage in argumentation. Building Bulletin Bd helps too #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

I am always looking for ways for my Ss to discover the meaning for the vocabulary. Doesn’t always work, but I love it when it does! #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Q5. Basic study skills can make a difference in Ss success. What skills are essential & how to you help build them? #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Discovery is always the best! #scitlap

In reply to @karlacalbear

pentaclethra Oct 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4 I try and use and have Ss use vocab when speaking and writing. Not easy for them. Trouble fitting in direct vocab instruction. #scitlap

Stella_Pollard Oct 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A5: I love having students make connections to real-world situations that tie to our content. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5) The ISN (sci notebook) is designed to help with study skills. Ss keep own table of contents and indicate each unit by color. #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5 I teach how fitting in smaller review over multiple days (weeks) is better than cramming the night before. #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT

After this podcast: https://t.co/0d9nWWghfq I have been using retrieval practice in multiple ways. I think I am seeing improvement. #scitlap

Q5. Basic study skills can make a difference in Ss success. What skills are essential & how to you help build them? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5 Oorganization, is key. We make study packets before quizzes. I make review games too, but you have to give them time to play. #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT

That is always the best. I get frustrated with “floating standards”. I need them to be real and relevant. #scitlap

In reply to @Stella_Pollard

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5) I INSIST all work glued into notebook. They also have a "virtual" nb through Google Classroom, but don't look back as often #scitlap

Stella_Pollard Oct 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT

YES. Think outside of the box, we are lucky to have a subject that is in the news every day. #scitlap

In reply to @PerkyScience

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Do you have the table of contents start over with each unit or go through the year? I start over as some kids need a second chance. #scitlap

In reply to @SciTeach7Davis

karlacalbear Oct 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

I setup binders/dividers on first day, then onto iPad boot camp to use apps as study tools, also share brain science & study tips #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

They just keep on going. As long as THEIR toc matches the NB, it's all good. Never thought of starting over. #scitlap

In reply to @PerkyScience

dgilesUM Oct 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5 I've found allowing small cheat sheets will make students review material to create their sheets. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

I usually have Ss look up Vocab at beginning of unit, but try to do fun things too. In writing so impt. to make use of good Vocab. #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4 I try and use and have Ss use vocab when speaking and writing. Not easy for them. Trouble fitting in direct vocab instruction. #scitlap

I would love to see some of your bootcamp resources. #scitlap

In reply to @karlacalbear

pentaclethra Oct 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Having Ss memorize and/or learn definitions is iffy. Them knowing it in context, giving examples, explaining is better IMHO. #scitlap

In reply to @daleyscience

One of my fave lines: "This is not a spelling test. This is not a vocab test. It IS a science test." (ok, that's 3 lines) #scitlap

Q6 Assessment Review -- Assessments can be stressful, but the prep and review shouldn’t be. What do you do to keep them fun?

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

I get tired of the same old review games. I often scour Pinterest, twitter and other SM sites for ideas.Heads up is a fav though. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

I start over every unit - file old stuff in " done" hanging files. Ends up making a nice portfolio and gives Ss a second chance #scitlap

In reply to @PerkyScience, @SciTeach7Davis

karlacalbear Oct 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6 Trying 2 work in more perform assessments, kids have so many ways 2 prepare on iPads. Little stress if I plan into class time. #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Q7. Reteach -- Sometimes you just know your Ss didn’t get it. How do you keep reteaching engaging? What is your fav strategy? #scitlap
