Chat time! In honor of my final day in the building with lots of people i love...ICE CREAM! Science! Whoohoo! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:01 PM EDT

Please take a minute to introduce yourself, your current city, and the most recent flavor of ice cream that you’ve eaten. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:01 PM EDT

What!? We're having ice cream, I'm in! #scitlap

BroCstart Jun 8 @ 9:01 PM EDT

#scitlap Br Christopher, Atchison KS... I think I had double chocolate something or other ice cream last

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:02 PM EDT

Lori, from Atl. Strawberry! Hoping I'm not the only sci-pi who shows up tonight! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:04 PM EDT

Kristin from Spencer, MA. It was a toss up between orange-pineapple and salted caramel pretzel. Fruity won. #scitlap

BroCstart Jun 8 @ 9:04 PM EDT

#scitlap @SciTeach7Davis nope, not the only sci-pi! Just a couple of us though it looks.

Q1) A simple ice cream recipe contains just 3 ingredients! What the THREE crucial ingredients for your classroom? #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:05 PM EDT

This was it! Amazing dessert place! @SueAtSea you must try...8 degrees on Buford Hwy #scitlap https://t.co/tMh8XTliMI

BroCstart Jun 8 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@RaRaPenguin Hey Renee, welcome ! #scitlap

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: I would say my 3 ice cream sundae class ingredients may be: effort, innovation, & #growthmindset. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@BroCstart @daleyscience THIS would be a good follow up question "fave Ss phrase?" #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:11 PM EDT

I'm here! I can't tell time! Meggan from Central Texas #scitlap

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Partain_Science - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: enthusiasm, patience & love (I sound sappy....) #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Q2) If you were trapped on a desert island (with a freezer, of course) with only ONE flavor of ice cream, what would it be? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:13 PM EDT

I also kinda like "Can take a picture of that? #scitlap https://t.co/Dcghu8Gm4W

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@BroCstart @daleyscience THIS would be a good follow up question "fave Ss phrase?" #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@RaRaPenguin Thanks! It's a perfect kick off for summer. Is school out yet? #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@daleyscience Yeah. I know when I see pics going on instagram that we have success! #scitlap

BroCstart Jun 8 @ 9:13 PM EDT

a2 #scitlap Tough one, I love chocolate anything, but sometimes need some strawberry.

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@daleyscience I LOVE when they want to grab their phones... #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Q2B: (would we call that a DESSERT island???) #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@Partain_Science Sappy is a good thing. That's how they know you care. #scitlap

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Vanilla bc could be innovative & explore ways to change/enhance it. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Chocolate...no question. But I would like to have sugar cones to go along with... #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:15 PM EDT

(this prop didn't need it's own question in the chat- oh well) Mint choc chip! #scitlap

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis I am year round school so we are truly never "out" for summer but out for 3 week breaks 4 times a yr. 3 wks to go. #scitlap

BroCstart Jun 8 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#scitlap #tlap Just saw this on my home feed, brilliant question to ask. https://t.co/n1LMTZi9cy

MaineSchoolTech Jun 8 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: Also via @askMsQ, a related question has been my desktop wallpaper ever since she posed it for me. #1to1techat https://t.co/VDrCjjCHG5

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 Easy....butter crunch. I sense a follow up. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:17 PM EDT

This place in ATL took ice cream and science to a new place! https://t.co/hQ1LPBx8i4 #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@RaRaPenguin WOW - where in NC? #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2B) Also on that DESSERT island, I would need the proper toppings: nuts and some whipped cream #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q3) See pic for question... #scitlap https://t.co/WMgwuUdYF2

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I'll take this to my desert/dessert island too! New reading from DBC #scitlap #LaunchBook https://t.co/URF7gJJrR1

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 2:55 PM EDT

Summer reading! #scitlap #tlap #LaunchBook https://t.co/kr4mC3JC1P

BroCstart Jun 8 @ 9:21 PM EDT

a3 #scitlap I don't have a set curriculum, so I'm building ground up from #NGSS . Been a ton of work, but a fantastic challenge

BroCstart Jun 8 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis Cannot wait to read this book! #scitlap

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: We use FOSS & I think much of it is great but would also ❤️ to see anything more #STEM #STEAM connected from diff companies. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3) always used the "big" holt and glencoe. Recent switch to CPO - great hands on materials. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Have a "text" that was originally designed for TX but they've expanded. I don't like it @STEMscopes. It was cheap so we got it #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A1 We have Pearson textbooks, but I branch out to many, many "smaller companies". There is so much to find and make your own. #scitlap

Braz74 Jun 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2 would have 2b death by chocolate. With hot fudge brownies maybe some almonds in a chocolate waffle cone #scitlap https://t.co/M5HN1cSuQ1

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@Braz74 maybe we'll go out for ice cream in Milwaukee?!?! CAN NOT WAIT! #scitlap meets #sstlap F2F

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis CPO? #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3) I love resources from @SpanglerScience but just curious if you all still use the big names. Answers seem varied. #scitlap

PErachelbell Jun 8 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Hi I'm Rachel, joining the party late! #scitlap

PErachelbell Jun 8 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A1: listening, respect, organization #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: We supplement w/ some CPO & some old FOSS activities plus other smaller resources #scitlap

BroCstart Jun 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis I've bought few things from @SpanglerScience . My school has way too small a science budget, so usually I jury-rig #scitlap

PErachelbell Jun 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A2: chocolate chip cookie dough for sure!! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@daleyscience Yep. https://t.co/q2wzwKpHl4 I saw them host a presentation at NSTA conf one year. Loved the genetics "CrazyTraits" #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Time for a “break”! What is your favorite ice cream TOPPING and why? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Love @SpanglerScience! I also love Science Spot! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @daleyscience HAHA - just had to order replacements. Do you have the teachers guide? It's really good! #scitlap

PErachelbell Jun 8 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3: I don't teach science, but in PE we use SPARK and different teaching models that were founded by others #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis @daleyscience Magic shell... Hadn't had that in years & re-experienced recently. It was pretty fun! #scitlap

BroCstart Jun 8 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@daleyscience Science Spot is the best. I've used that time and again! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis @daleyscience Yes we have about 18 sets or so. We have problems w/ the magnets on the noses?!? #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @daleyscience I believe that's a great science lesson. And none-too-healthy, if i recall... #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@BroCstart @daleyscience Never heard of it. Thx for sharing :) This is why I keep coming back to twitter chats and twitter PD #scitlap

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:31 PM EDT

#scitlap I have also enjoyed using some @Wonderopolis articles to spark further thinking or intro science topic this year.

Partain_Science - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis @daleyscience Yes to both! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @daleyscience MAN! We only have 4 boxes. and 2 are now incomplete. I WISH for 18... #scitlap

@RaRaPenguin @Wonderopolis Great for upper elementary! What grade level do you teach? #scitlap

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis @Wonderopolis 1st & they eat it up! Great way to get into higher vocabulary. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Q4) Ice cream flavors range from traditional to CRAZY combos. What flavor represents your classroom? Why? #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:35 PM EDT

next Q in 1 min #scitlap (I'm getting kind of hungry...)

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4: Probably salted caramel. Traditional bones but a bit of surprise thrown in w fun salty & sweet. #scitlap https://t.co/M0Lq13KMbs

Q4) Ice cream flavors range from traditional to CRAZY combos. What flavor represents your classroom? Why? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4 Going with Salted Caramel Pretzel. A little sweet, little salty, kinda chaotic, but always enjoyable and leave 'em wanting more #scitlap

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4: I keep adding more & more toppings in our class too. Makes the flavor even crazier & better. 😉#scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4) Depends on the class. Something complex for block 3, like salted caramel. For block 4, more traditional - strawvachoc! #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Jun 8 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: Half Baked! Cookie Dough Brownies and mixing of many ideas. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@RaRaPenguin Great minds think alike! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Q5) Some Ss are lactose intolerant! We offer froyo/gelato/dairy free options. How do we ensure our lessons are inclusive of ALL Ss? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Alter Caramel for the win....must be the "salty" that is attracting the Pirates!! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5) hard to answer in 140 chars! Student interest surveys could be a good place to start... #scitlap

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A5: By allowing them choice & voice. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis lol #scitlap

A5) I tackle this in Genius hour, for sure. Student selected topics. But only once a week. #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Jun 8 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A5: I try to get every student in every unit. I know I don't get them every day. Every Week? #scitlap

Q6) How do you define the “cherry on top” of a lesson? A day? A year? Share a great story! #scitlap https://t.co/dYLE7e4Wzw

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A5 Mixing it up is key. Be flexible and observant of what your kids like to do. They change every year and every class. #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Jun 8 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6: Best cherry on top Engineering Challenge where students use new science concept. #scitlap

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6: When Ss want to go above what asked & ask to add on to a project or further an experiment. Then they are hooked. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6 They cherry on top is always the thank yo us when they leave. Always makes me smile. Every day needs a cherry of some kind! #scitlap

SarahBosch1 Jun 8 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6: Cherry On Top - older kids see something set up and ask if they can do it again. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Yup, "Can I come back to your class?" #scitlap https://t.co/DchaQbNq89

A6: Cherry On Top - older kids see something set up and ask if they can do it again. #scitlap

A7) The "cherry on top" of the year. = graduation and yearbook signing. Love it even though it's a bit heartbreaking #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Q7) Ever eat dessert first? Have you flipped lessons? Rearranged units? Use backwards design? WHY is this so appealing? #scitlap

BroCstart Jun 8 @ 9:58 PM EDT

a7 #scitlap Yes, I have been trying to do backwards design for a while now. Its like writing a treasure map, starting at the X.

daleyscience - Moderator Jun 8 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A7 I have used UBD, seems to really make sense. No flipped lessons yet, but it's on my bucket list. #scitlap

RaRaPenguin Jun 8 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A7: ❤️dessert 1st! Tried a bit this year. Lends to more exploration & questioning for Ss. ❤️to learn & try more. #scitlap
