A1 We are about to embark on PBL - the best option to handle our demand for minerals. #scitlap

pentaclethra Nov 2 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 None. Nada. Haven't been able to swing this yet this year. That and I'm not teaching bio this year and lots more CS for bio. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 We have a group of about 10 dedicated 8th graders working with The American Chestnut Foundation #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: We haven't done any citizen science so far this yr. We have focused on other things so far.. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:08 PM EDT

PBL is powerful stuff! #scitlap

SueAtSea Nov 2 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2 We are trying to come up with a best solution for minerals. Projects will be models, proposals, can’t actually DO it. #scitlap

pentaclethra Nov 2 @ 9:12 PM EDT

I had some lined up for this year if needed. ebird and iNaturalist. Have Ss give pics/obs for me to post for class. #scitlap

The life sciences are more suited to CitSci than earth science but hoping to get more creative #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:14 PM EDT

I've always wanted to try some type of biodiversity recording....maybe Instagram #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Great idea....using a costume hook! #scitlap

There is the one project I heard of where you can enter data for old ship weather logs and earn ranks. #scitlap

A2) I include the peppered moths and industrial revolution. #scitlap

SueAtSea Nov 2 @ 9:17 PM EDT

I also want to track NOAA drifters to model the ocean currents but not enuf time #scitlap

In reply to @pentaclethra

A3 The first step is to show passion yourself. Then get them to see themselves as scientists. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2) I also talk about the research my favorite college professor was engaged in: coral bleaching. #scitlap

karlacalbear Nov 2 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A1 hoping 2 research watershed evaluation w/ local agencies. We also are field tested NGSS curriculum. Ss loved evaluating it. #scitlap

SueAtSea Nov 2 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I was thinking of water filtration designs in the spring. #scitlap

A3 I am using our chestnut project as an example tonight, b/c I've never seen such passion and committee to. They really care! #scitlap

SueAtSea Nov 2 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3) Perhaps share some of the HILARIOUS twitter accounts of @MaryLeeShark @BronxZoosCobra etc? Humor in sci can reel them in. #scitlap

SueAtSea Nov 2 @ 9:21 PM EDT

I love this project! Very cool! #scitlap

In reply to @karlacalbear, @AmplifyScience

pentaclethra Nov 2 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A4 Show Ss the need and the problem. Many don't even know what sci issues there are and problems to be solved. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:22 PM EDT

IMO students understanding that be able to understand & make informed decisions gives them power in the real world. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:23 PM EDT

When we introduced Ss to the chestnut story, we went outside and found a puny little chestnut w/blight. The story was told outside #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Also part of our story was a tornado 6 yrs ago. This disaster cleared some areas for AC to grow. Added a personal part to story #scitlap

karlacalbear Nov 2 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3 class active & hopefully interesting. Share my experiences w/ photos. We visit labs at UC Berkeley, career chats, sci electives #scitlap

sbosch_spps Nov 2 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A4: I like simple service learning. My 4th graders make skits to teach other kids how to wash hands - not spread germs #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Q5: See graphic below. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4 Giving Ss a chance to do something real empowers them. They will rise to the occasion if they own the experience. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:28 PM EDT

I find lots of buy in with health related topics: anti-tobacco; disease prevention, etc #scitlap

A5 This is our goal as educators IMO. For most it won't matter if you remember parts of cells, but if you get them to Q and wonder! #scitlap

pentaclethra Nov 2 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A5 Great thoughts and conversation. Ss need to feel that their learning is leading to something. Purpose not just facts/content. #scitlap

karlacalbear Nov 2 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4 have them lead projects at the site on recycling, evaluating water & energy conservation is one idea. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Q6 Feel free to answer this question in general....time is something that affects all of us! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A6 Today we decided to form sub committees to divide up some of the work. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A6 Our project has grown, we are planning art projects, public speaking events, and land management. It could be a full time job! #scitlap

karlacalbear Nov 2 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5 Lots of choice in ways 2 show learning, citizen sci, teaching to younger grades, 20% projects, lots of interesting electives #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Great idea, recycling is something very available to create a project! #scitlap

A6: During genius hour it heps me to have a chart to track where every student is in the process. #scitlap

pentaclethra Nov 2 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A6 I have no idea never having done this kind of large project. I would think getting good help would be essential. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Do kids fill in the chart, or the teacher? #scitlap

sbosch_spps Nov 2 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: manage time? Best projects consume my time, but joyfully. #scitlap

karlacalbear Nov 2 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A6 I call in retired Tchrs & parent volunteers as well as Navy Squadrons who are wonderful 2 work w/. Post lots of info & email. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Nov 2 @ 9:42 PM EDT

both. They would fill jn and I would double check.... but not daily. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7 pic collages, videos, digital portfolios, Socratic circles, have always wanted to start a digital science blog all by Ss #scitlap

Truth! We are so excited about everything. We're going to the annual meeting in Dec. and being seated with the chief scientist.#scitlap

A8 science research is as much failure as success. You may learn things that will help other endangered species if not chestnut. #scitlap
