daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 I use preview strategies like THIEVES. https://t.co/i10NnYQZxf #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:09 PM EDT

a1 I like the idea of sketchnoting, but haven't done much w it yet. Ss made jeopardy questions based on reading assignments. #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 12 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 We do an scientific current event every 4 weeks. Working with Ss on metacognition while reading. Annotations must be visible. #scitlap

burgessdave Oct 12 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@Partain_Science You made it! No late pass required! #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1. the Cornell note taking strategy is a great way to get students to interact with any kind of reading #scitlap

kolocke Oct 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

#scitlap A1 I also use THIEVES.

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1. I have done sketchnoting with my Ss. It's a great way for them to turn verbal ideas into visual ones! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1Lots of pre-reading strats-scanning, intro vocab, annotating, allow partner reading, sometimes choral read. Differentiated texts #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 12 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@BroCstart We are doing a lot of sketchnoting. It is a challenge for some to think beyond words, but the images can be powerful. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@Hobson_k Is that the 2 column notes? #scitlap

BelindaTeaches Oct 12 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Here for the first time #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@BelindaTeaches Welcome! Where do you teach? Grade bands? #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: I still use thinking maps esp. Tree for classifying and double bubble compare/contrast #Scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1. 'Write around' is another Have the reading pasted into the middle of an A3 sheet & Sspick key points & annotate 'around'! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@BelindaTeaches Woohoo! Welcome. We are glad to have you! Now you are part of the club! #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@PerkyScience I've noticed some ss love it. My academically strong ss dislike it-- too much thinking. Makes me like it more. #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@BelindaTeaches Welcome! Glad to have you join us. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@BelindaTeaches Welcome to #scitlap ! Best PLN around.

Partain_Science - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@Hobson_k Education related or anything? What are you interested in? #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Oct 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@cjcrawcooper Thinking maps are a great way to link literacy & science. Overlapping strategies makes for more confident learners! #scitlap

focus2achieve Oct 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Sorry I'm late. Oskar from MN HS chem and PLTW T. Hi all! #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Q2: What strategies do you use to reinforce math numeracy and engineering in science class? https://t.co/eqLlHKGdgQ

BelindaTeaches Oct 12 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@BroCstart pre service secondary science in NSW #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Oct 12 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Encouraging Ss to "think like an engineer" as they interpret information, respond to questions, and face challenges #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@focus2achieve NP, love PLTW. #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@BelindaTeaches Excellent! Best of luck to you in your studies and prep for teaching. I hope #scitlap is helpful!

ohwowmrspowell Oct 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: I'm excited to dive into my first true #PBL in 2 weeks, which integrates math operations with a unit on prosthetic limbs! #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

a2 #scitlap Easy, measure, graph, analyze, revise...

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 Traditional stuff, graphs, formulas, calculations. Interested in other #scitlap ideas though....

cjcrawcooper Oct 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: fractions to percentages and dim. analysis is a chemistry must #Scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 I plan on doing more direct design process thinking with my physics Ss. Many have have PLTW and get it. #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell Speaking of #pbl, @GingerLewman shared this Excellent set of pbl units, https://t.co/gzuGlkKNx2 #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell Sounds very cool! #scitlap

MsHeidisClass Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: data data data. Collect data. Who is taller boys or girls? Interpret data. Find datasets on ice cream consumption. #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@MsHeidisClass or better, make datasets on ice cream consumption! #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@MsHeidisClass I have been trying to incorporate more data analysis/spreadsheets as well. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@BroCstart @GingerLewman Thanks for sharing! I'm going to bookmark this to explore later! Exciting #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

#scitlap https://t.co/QelFfdBPXh

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Ss always go crazy when they do math and science....I love talking about how inter-related the 2 subjects are. #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@daleyscience Yes! Finally got my ss to stop thinking the two were somehow seperate. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: My ELA counterpart and I piggyback lessons off each other often. Nice for Ss to see interconnectedness on the regular! #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell I think that's how to do it. Keep it commonplace. #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

a3 #scitlap My school operates as silos. Frustrating! Rarely get the chance to collaborate outside of my class. :-(

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Sorry #scitlap I needed to restart my laptop!! Back now! Missed Q2... but all good :)

kolocke Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Engineering design integrated with SS on NE regions & measurement. Recreating/build Niagra Falls, Maple Trees, Cranbog, NY, #scitlap

Lmwags15 Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

#scitlap I tell the math teacher what concepts im going over and she reinforces the math section of the concepts. Ss get to see both sides

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@kolocke NICE! That sounds like a fantastic project. #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Euro history T talks about sci method and sets me up to review theory, law, hypothesis #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@BroCstart Not quite so bad on my end. Everyone is just so busy dealing with STUFF. #scitlap

focus2achieve Oct 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Check out the infographics I made https://t.co/kDQpFzuM85 #scitlap https://t.co/3LnzJLoWka

A2 I plan on doing more direct design process thinking with my physics Ss. Many have have PLTW and get it. #scitlap

MsHeidisClass Oct 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: LA/Science. "Is your DNA your Destiny?" Ss read novels where main character has genetic anomaly like Wonder or Out of my Mind. #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Last term we did a wk long 'Festival of the Creative Spirit' where we worked with other Ts to develop any project we wanted for Ss #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@pentaclethra Always too much stuff going on. So difficult to make time for the essential. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3 We have a lot of common planning time,most of it focused only on high need Ss or meeting with Ps. We never have time to plan. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

This intrigues me! I'd love to know more about this! #scitlap https://t.co/ZLhTYGXvyB

MsHeidisClass Oct 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: LA/Science. "Is your DNA your Destiny?" Ss read novels where main character has genetic anomaly like Wonder or Out of my Mind. #scitlap

focus2achieve Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@daleyscience if you dare - yes! The more the merrier #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@daleyscience Yep, planning lessons is what common planning time was originally made for tho. sigh. #scitlap

MsHeidisClass Oct 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Really want to do one focused on flight with SS teacher. Still working on getting it off the ground. HA! #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Ok now my laptop isn't loading Tweets :( argh!! #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

I worked with a maths teacher on my project - we looked at concussion in sport. It was great! STEM, but it was fun #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Q4 is here #scitlap https://t.co/SUSfCnUTL6

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Q4: How do you help students understand that subjects aren’t separate but overlap? https://t.co/h3zVDEONMD

cjcrawcooper Oct 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@BroCstart @pentaclethra This is admins need step in and create time, but forced collar can be tricky #scitlap

kolocke Oct 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3 we have collaboration every Friday morning. Planned Math PLC data cycle. #scitlap

focus2achieve Oct 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 not much collab time in HS, but hoping to fit genius hour into chem and encourage other chem Ts to do it too #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@cjcrawcooper @pentaclethra I think admin is trying to get us there. Greater emph. on PLCs is happening. change is hard. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Oct 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A4: This can be tricky, but can be achieved through #PBL. Relevant, real-world applications that tie in multiple content areas! #scitlap

mgrosstaylor Oct 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

🔨Join me tomorrow as I mod #UrbanEdChat on Shattering Glass Ceilings! #BmoreEdchat #nebedchat #ohedchat #scitlap… https://t.co/oqiFIaL5yZ

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

I did a literacy task with Ss the other day & one came out and said 'I thought this was Science not English' >.< #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@focus2achieve Love Genius hour. Hoping to launch one section in #geniushour in November! #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@BroCstart @focus2achieve I hope to do this with my classes once their yearly exam is over :) #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@Hobson_k "You say funny things" is my usual response to that! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

James from @wcsdistrict jumping in late. Seems like I always have night-night duty on #scitlap nights! ;)

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4 Tricking them with #scitlap fun. Bribing them with #scitlap awesomeness. Making it part of the norm.

A4 Tricking them with #scitlap fun. Bribing them with #scitlap awesomeness. Making it part of the norm.

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4 I find just reiterating what is being taught in other classes and talk about how scientists use the skills Ss are learning. #scitlap

focus2achieve Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4 My theme for this year is to focus on learning how to learn skills - subjects are less important and always overlap #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@Hobson_k @focus2achieve Best of luck! My ss struggle most with #geniushour because not used to getting to choose what to study. #scitlap

Lmwags15 Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4 I try to look for articles on archeological finds and incorporate history and science methods into same room! #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Hey #scitlap Carl from Avonsleigh Australia 4) I often talk in terms of global applications rather than just the content

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@focus2achieve That is a fantastic theme! #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A4: 1)I find out what they read in Eng. and throw it in the mix. Gatsby needs a party planner #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Find out what the other subjects are covering and then weave it into what you are doing. Tie it into a project. #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4: and planners use dim. Analysis to buy food for party. That's stoichiometry #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@cjcrawcooper Yes #scitlap My students are doing Hunger Games in English so I did work on trajectories etc.

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@safarnum thank you :) we are in Australia, so NFL is not huge down here, but we did watch Concussion as an entry event! #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Are many of you in small schools where you can easily access Ss other teacher's? #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: I'm transitioning my science 8 and 7 classes to a systems approach in the next 2 years. #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@pentaclethra Yes in small school, but silo mentality makes collab difficult. #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@pentaclethra we have 8/9 streams of each year group. About 200-220 Ss in each grade... so no, not really! #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 12 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@pentaclethra yes I am small school 500 S 2yo-12th grade #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury Can you explain a little? #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@pentaclethra my school has about 300/grade, but if I send out a couple of emails I can usually find a tie in if I am looking. #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Our scope & sequence is put in place from the beginning of the year & for some reason, faculties don't work together to find links #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Unfortunately some see that as more work... I honestly think it would be awesome if we could work together!! #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

#scitlap #brainbreak! https://t.co/LoCQQl806g

Mr_Canterbury Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@daleyscience pacing all 7 & 8 topics as a single, interconnected story rather than Bio section, Physics section, & Earth section #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury @daleyscience Love this idea. I think this is my goal, but man is it hard to pull together! #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Oct 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@Hobson_k massive frustration. Just discovered that I was teaching content taught already in Health. Should have been planned #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Q5 up now! #scitlap https://t.co/dPn6sdAecE

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Q5: What can we do to encourage other teachers to incorporate science topics into their lessons? How can we help? https://t.co/w7zR5PM3B3

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie amen!! PE is the worst one! Haha... and geography with disasters, etc!! #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury ...See... I am the department! #scitlap

kolocke Oct 12 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4 Definitely PBL! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury Thanks, I will be interested in your journey. We are currently transitioning to more of an integrated approach. #scitlap

Lmwags15 Oct 12 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5 starts with building positive relationships with other Ts. So then you can encourage and assist with bringing Sci into the mix! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5: We have incorporated informational text coding and writing from ELA in our science classes. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@Hobson_k And to make it worse we sometimes have conflicting definitions #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5. We were given the opportunity to dream big but it didn't matter if we failed... unfortunately won't be the same in the future #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A6: Our technology teacher was doing a rocket project. I tagged my Ss along as we learned about space travel to Mars. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Oct 12 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Work with them to have a common idea. I did a Science / History Fair project involving the First Fleet at Year 9 #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 12 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@BroCstart Sorry, brother! You can be apart of ours if you like! Do you use Google drive? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5 So hard to do. Constraints with time, but also letting go of your "own stuff" and the scary word...change #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury Yes, I'm a google junky! Would love the chance to collaborate! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 12 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@BroCstart anytime! #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 12 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie @Hobson_k conflicting definitions is my greatest frustration #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5 Sounds like Ts interested in cross-curricular planning need to take the initiative. Believe in the outcome. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@cjcrawcooper @GruntledChalkie @Hobson_k yeah, tier 2 words can be difficult. #scitlap

kolocke Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5 Self contained 4th grade. Team collaborates. Planning Rock cycle fudge. Math, science & reading. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@cjcrawcooper @Hobson_k I allow dot points, other subjects do not. Then Ss learn there are diff rules for diff subjects #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@kolocke Food lessons are the best! #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie @cjcrawcooper we are told by the board to let our kids write dot points in the HSC!! But not other subjects #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5: Also tied rainwater collection rights in the NW from social studies to our water cycle unit in science 7. Great Convos! #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Oct 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@Hobson_k @cjcrawcooper Exactly. But if VCE Co-ord is from other subject areas they tell Ss it can never be allowed #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@pentaclethra If you don't push it not much happens. Goi with a plan and ask how it could be adapted for their content helps. #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

7th grade SS does TX ecoregion & so does science. They do it at the beginning and Sci at the end. getting together is a challenge. #scitlap

focus2achieve Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A5 look for science hooks relevant to other subjects #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@kolocke thx now I have an idea! My 10th graders scale geology cake recipe for 4th graders #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Q6 up now! #scitlap https://t.co/2aO5uOODdu

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Q6: What is the MOST unusual cross curricular lesson/unit you've ever planned? https://t.co/rWReANjgBt

Mr_Canterbury Oct 12 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6: Hmmmm... You got me there. I don't know that I have one. Probably means I haven't been trying hard enough! ;) #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:47 PM EDT

Got Q6 from @SciTeach7Davis so perhaps she has an interesting lesson to share. #scitlap

Lmwags15 Oct 12 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6 hmmm. Don't think I have an unusual one. Haven't been in teaching game long enough to feel that comfortable to create. sadly #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 12 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6: when we tied FuGo balloon bombs to chem., history, current events, and ethics class #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6 Can't say that I've done much, but my fav was a sci poetry unit. Ss wrote and illustrated sci poems for a contest with ELA #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6 Continued. https://t.co/DJMH1naOeC #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 12 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@daleyscience Cool. I like the competition aspect. Did kids get into it? #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@daleyscience I like this idea! I bet I could the ELA T to go for this. #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:50 PM EDT

Next week, #scitlap returns to our #tlap Roots and reflect on Passion, Immersion, and Rapport! https://t.co/BgL5DZ30h6

Hi pirate pals! Absent tonight due to wrapping up Yom Kippur with the family! #scitlap

focus2achieve Oct 12 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6 made solar ovens- didn't work, tennis ball launchers- awesome #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 12 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@BroCstart This sounds awesome! #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 12 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis Hope you had a wonderful and blessed Yom Kippur! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@pentaclethra Yes. Being able to illustrate was a draw. Had several state winners. Fun to interact and push them on another level #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 12 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@Lmwags15 look for the @radiolab FuGo episode for the story #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 12 @ 9:51 PM EDT
