How do you like quizlet compared to Kahoot? #scitlap

In reply to @SueAtSea

Q2: How do you add playfulness to your classroom? Games? Which ones? #scitlap #XPLAP

sbosch_spps Jan 11 @ 9:25 PM EST

Do students ever do better on side quests than actual work? Do you want to grade it because it would be a higher grade? #scitlap

A4: We journeyed to another planet to study a phenomenon there and report back. #scitlap

I did a version of "Survivor" with planets. https://t.co/1V3zanVi7A #scitlap

Another piece of advice is to "pick a theme you know a LOT about", so I would choose underwater. A reef perhaps. #Scitlap

sbosch_spps Jan 11 @ 9:38 PM EST

Q4: Here is a list of possible ideas for themes. What science content do you think would pair well with these ideas? #Scitlap #XPLAP

sbosch_spps Jan 11 @ 9:44 PM EST

Q5: What questions do you have about gamification? Post a question. #scitlap #XPLAP

ohwowmrspowell Jan 11 @ 9:44 PM EST

A4: I think a "Hacker" theme would work well with whole #, decimal, or fractions operations. I can see lots of cryptic expressions! #scitlap

I always wanted to have students make a Rube Goldberg using the 3D printer to produce part. Like that Health Insurance Commercial. #scitlap

Just got Pandemic a few weeks ago. Ss also play Plague, Inc - I have high school Ss #scitlap

What would you do on the coral reef? Explore? Stop poachers? Save the biodiversity? #scitlap

joerobison907 Jan 11 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5. haha... questions about everything... getting started... etc.., #scitlap

HowardKiyuna Jan 11 @ 9:46 PM EST

A4: Underwater. Going to Marine Center soon. Will teach energy consumption food chains. Need more ideas. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jan 11 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5) How do you keep up with everything? leaderboard? Points? how do they convert to grades? My Ss are so grade oriented! #scitlap

julie_wenger Jan 11 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5 This feels like @Jeopardy, asking a question as an answer. What is a first things first idea w gamification? #SCItlap

A4 #xplap #scitlap SciFi / Space, classic Explorers, medieval fantasy, super heros

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jan 11 @ 9:47 PM EST

I think the Reef would be the theme for the game. NOT the content. Teams would try to "win" by saving the reef. #scitlap

In reply to @sbosch_spps

sbosch_spps Jan 11 @ 9:48 PM EST

We are going to move into more #scitlap questions. Check out #XPLAP Wed. at 7CST

smarterteacher Jan 11 @ 9:48 PM EST

And here is what I think of GRADES #scitlap

PerkyScience Jan 11 @ 9:48 PM EST

Spread sheet for the leader board. Grades are regular. Points come from speed, creativity, or other set criteria. #scitlap

In reply to @SciTeach7Davis

sbosch_spps Jan 11 @ 9:49 PM EST

Q6: Hook me in! Write a hook for a lesson that you have coming up. Add on to other’s hooks. #scitlap

Maybe by watching live cams at https://t.co/nRwT5n7BcY somehow.#scitlap

What marine center? (jealous in landlocked ATL, Ga) #scitlap

In reply to @HowardKiyuna

PerkyScience Jan 11 @ 9:50 PM EST

I think you have to know where you want to end, and then have the game lead to that point. UBD expanded. #scitlap

A5: My question is how to have inquiry and gamification together in science. I lost my inquiry focus when I tried it. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Jan 11 @ 9:51 PM EST

A6: I’m teaching owls and winter adaptations. IDEAS for HOOKS? #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jan 11 @ 9:51 PM EST

Does ctr havewebsite, preview the lesson plans. Maybe divide Ss into teams to earn points for a special part of trip? #Scitlap

In reply to @HowardKiyuna

PerkyScience Jan 11 @ 9:51 PM EST

I agree, it is hard to keep both up. Also hard to not let the game take over the class. #scitlap

In reply to @sbosch_spps

sbosch_spps Jan 11 @ 9:51 PM EST

I used class dojo for points. Points earned special seats in class or erasable pens, or a power boost snack. #scitlap

What grade did you say? #scitlap

In reply to @sbosch_spps

sbosch_spps Jan 11 @ 9:52 PM EST

Start with a theme or a challenge and a way to earn points. Silly points that mean nothing, but are fun. #scitlap

OWL PELLETS. So gross, yet so engaging! #Scitlap

Hang up wing spans of different owls in the hallway leading to your classroom #scitlap

Could begin with a STEM challenge - have Ss build a shelter that will keep something warm/insulated #scitlap

In reply to @sbosch_spps

PerkyScience Jan 11 @ 9:54 PM EST

I need a hook for energy sources. They feel they have heard/done it to death. #scitlap

Q7: How do you keep momentum rolling? How do you build learning from one day to the next? #scitlap

Make a BIG DEAL about their delivery. Special tools for dissecting. Frames for displaying their "finds". #scitlap

In reply to @SciTeach7Davis, @jvanscoyoc, @daleyscience

Maybe some of the typical insulator/conductor materials? - cardboard, foam, aluminum, cotton/fabric, paper, plastic #scitlap

A6 Ironically my next unit has an escape game theme. Hook "Give me cell phones as you enter the room". This is the "scary" hook! #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Jan 11 @ 9:56 PM EST

You could make it a game, too. Link temperature measurement to earning points somehow. #scitlap

If you paint it GREEN does it become GREEN? The seven sins of Greenwashing? Why are Dasani caps GREEN? #scitlap
