    A1: Gamifying my classroom! The students love the idea of earning “badges” and gaining XP. #scitlap
  • daleyscience - Moderator Aug 30 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1 Day 2...had an excellent scavenger hunt and discussion today. Great kids who want to help ME learn, how exciting is that! #scitlap
  • ashleyn627 Aug 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: I introduce STEM to the Ss and have them consider what a good scientist/mathematician looks like & how they can become one. #scitlap
  • sbosch_spps Aug 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Play-Doh is my favorite first day activity. Works with K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Their hands are busy and I can talk to every kid #scitlap
  • daleyscience - Moderator Aug 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT

    Q2: I’m teaching science safety, and I bet you are too. Do you have a favorite method? How much time do you spend on safety? #scitlap
  • Stella_Pollard Aug 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Yes! On boarding is so much fun. I didn’t start the game off by throwing tons and tons of information at them. It has to be built. #scitlap

    A1: I love visiting our families before school starts, I know 13/24 students and families already! #scitlap
  • sbosch_spps Aug 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Yes. Do they show a lot of stereotypes? Last time I tried my students just drew people. I didn't get much to work with. #scitlap
    In reply to @MrsDamianoWH, @ashleyn627
  • PerkyScience Aug 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    I started this as well. It was great to see Ls faces light up when they realized class was a game. We need to share resources. #scitlap

  • megan_hacholski Aug 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A2: Excited to try out a digital @breakoutEDU from @mrwilliamssteam to review lab safety! #scitlap

    This sounds excellent! Can you please share. #scitlap
    In reply to @megan_hacholski, @breakoutEDU, @mrwilliamssteam
  • pentaclethra Aug 30 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A2 I have Ss make safety posters in groups that I post for the entire year in class. #scitlap 1/2

    Enchilada Wednesday is very, very popular at my school but I'm not partial to them (or any enchiladas). #blasphemy #scitlap

    There's a lab safety one? What is the name? I was sharing my @breakoutEDU kit with teachers today. #scitlap

  • MrMooreIII Aug 30 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1: I used a #tlap strategy and acted out a plane crash. The kids thought it was insane and hilarious. They loosened right up. #scitlap
  • megan_hacholski Aug 30 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A2: 1st yr teaching, made a music vid for Call Me Maybe, lyrics about lab safety. Thinking we need to do it again, but new song! #scitlap
  • sbosch_spps Aug 30 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2: I always practice fire drills and lock down drills. I like the students to be prepared before they happen. #scitlap
  • burgessdave Aug 30 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2: Could be fun possibilities of teaching safety with a spoof similar to Jim Carrey doing Fire Marshal Bill on In Living Color #scitlap
  • ashleyn627 Aug 30 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Starts out that way. Ss don't consider themselves as STEM people or how their active participation and growth mindset plays a role. #scitlap
    In reply to @sbosch_spps, @MrsDamianoWH
  • pentaclethra Aug 30 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2 I also have Rotts Tribice (me in costume) come in a do lots of unsafe things that Ss then describe back to me on my return. #scitlap
  • principessaAKH Aug 30 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2: Safety,responsibility and respect take up most of my first 6 weeks and a lot after that. Kinders need lots of reminders! #scitlap
  • BKd204Sci Aug 30 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2j I use the common sense method, think before you do in 1 day, I reinforce safety with each lab/activity #scitlap
    In reply to @sbosch_spps
  • cjcrawcooper Aug 30 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    It was a simple observation lab with "teabags" of CuCl2 in water and they had to draw particle diagrams and record observations #scitlap
    In reply to @MrsDamianoWH
  • SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Aug 30 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2) not much. Maybe need to do more. I give a safety tour of the lab. Made a corny video once, but ditched it. #scitlap
  • daleyscience - Moderator Aug 30 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    In my room, such a fun way to go through the boring stuff! Plus I get to see how everyone interacts. #scitlap

    A2 teaching fifth grade without a lab so don't spend much, if any time on safety. Realizing I probably should add in something! #scitlap
  • Partain_Science - Moderator Aug 30 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A1: Done playdough 2 yrs & I'm always a little disappointed that Ss aren't more creative.Think they don't want to risk it. #scitlap
  • cjcrawcooper Aug 30 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2: We do the lab safety POGIL and a FLINN or Amoeba sister video #scitlap
  • sbosch_spps Aug 30 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    Those kinders need so much practice too. They need to experience things. #scitlap

    Our 7th graders make safety memes. Some are epic, & others are a way for them to share knowledge. I've also done magazine covers. #scitlap.

    A2 I did a little with safety symbols and emergency equipment today, but I mostly do it as I go....don't do a stand alone Unit. #scitlap

    Do the wheels lock so you can keep them from moving when you DON"T want them to or is the weight of the table enough? #scitlap
