Q3) T=transformation. What’s your “ticket selling” lesson? If none, could you design one? What’s in the works? #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@daleyscience Kind of like Evernote, but with Google's ease of use. Can set reminders, label, color-code, share... #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q3. This yr I did a lesson on combustion where I ignited a helium & hydrogen balloon... then set fire to a $50 note... literally :( #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@BroCstart Cool, thanks! I'll totally check it out #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

a3 Design a roller-coaster (Kinetic energy) & design a space ship (action/reaction forces) are the big winners right now. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: I just did an electrolysis water lab for the first time yesterday. It was pretty "standing room only". Fire = attention #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@BroCstart @daleyscience I had to reset my evernote PW to check a student's work. I had "notes" from 2013 in there! #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 26 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3 We will be making cartesian divers using condiment packets to begin to explore density. Never done it before so I am excited. #scitlap

@SprSciTeachMRHS What would your students say? Any that you have to push them out of your classroom when it's over? #scitlap

@PerkyScience unfortunately I forgot to bring it with me from my last school, but it's easy to make :) I'll see if I can find it! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Q4) T=transformation. Sometimes a lesson needs a “spoonful of sugar”. Share your techniques! Links? Pics? #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:26 PM EDT

My pirate moment today was I wore a crown to class & the kids are so used to weirdness that they didn't even question it... #scitlap

A4:I don't particularly like weather..any super ideas. It's a really short standard for us, right before holidays. #scitlap

sciteachkali Oct 26 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4) you can always "introduce" flip it to the kids and have them do some research on some type of lab. Webquests if you are 1:1 #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Oct 26 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@Hobson_k Yeah but how often do you get to #scitlap So enjoy. I can't find questions

A4) if it isnt interesting to me then it usually isnt to the kids...pretend I love it #fakeittillyoumakeit #scitlap

@PerkyScience Shark Tank is big now too... #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 26 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis @PerkyScience we turned a whole Yr 7 geology/solar system unit into the Amazing Race! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 26 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5: Not sure I share my passion outside of the classroom very much. But I like getting together w/ other Ts and swap ideas. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:40 PM EDT

Q6) E=enthusiasm. What do you do to help keep your enthusiasm alive? #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Oct 26 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5) It's in the tone and the passion you speak about your science. The Ss pick it up quickly #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 26 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis So many options. Just finding ways to tie them in. #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 26 @ 9:40 PM EDT

I also created 2 units for Yr 7 based on Harry Potter to intro science concepts & then states of matter! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@daleyscience I know. The balloons are a big hit. It's just boring to ME. I'd rather teach animal behavior or the human body #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5 Isn't it @burgessdave that says it's our responsibility to brag/share! #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 26 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie #truth. When you geek out, gives permission for ss to show their own passion. #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 26 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis @PerkyScience our History dept. does this in CHS w/ help from parents #scitlap

Before assigning homework, ponder...Are we helping students just produce work or induce wonder? #divergED https://t.co/hO7ihPpvZ3

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@AliceCB32 Photosynthesis and balancing chemical equations! Fun! #scitlap

AliceCB32 Oct 26 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5 I take lots of pictures and create collages then share them with other Ts or I post them on social media. #scitlap

GruntledChalkie Oct 26 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A6 Keep myself fresh. Always find out new sci. When I started teaching electron was as small as it got and Jupiter had 12 moons #scitlap

sciteachkali Oct 26 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A6) I find myself struggling for motivation sometimes and I have to remember.to take ME TIME to refocus! Unhappy me=unhappy them #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 26 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A6 I have to change things up every now and again. Teaching the same thing the same way wears me down. #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 26 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@daleyscience @AliceCB32 I used to begin Calvin cycle w/ an Ohio State band video #scitlap

SprSciTeachMRHS Oct 26 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A6) constantly trying to improve each lesson. Always updating tweaking changing. Don't want to ever be stuck in the mud #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Oh you sci-pirates, I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses flatuence as an example of diffusion! #scitlap

AliceCB32 Oct 26 @ 9:44 PM EDT

I'm constantly reading and researching current events and topics that are next. I like to add that information into my lessons. #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 26 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@sciteachkali "If I'm unhappy, then we're all unhappy. If I'm happy, at least I'm happy" I say to my ss somedays. They catch on #scitlap :-D

Mr_Canterbury Oct 26 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6: I get a renewed enthusiasm when thinking of new problems for Ss to solve. I wrote an Advanced course about how to live on Mars. #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 26 @ 9:45 PM EDT

a6 #scitlap is one part of my response!

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:46 PM EDT

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT

Q7) One #tlap chapter is titled “Where do I start”? OK, pals, where do you start? When? How? #scitlap

Hobson_k Oct 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6. Go to workshops/conferences & learn from and with others!! I am doing a #scitlap presentation in France next week :D #pracped16

BroCstart Oct 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@daleyscience yes. Go for a walk. Keep perspective, go back to root T philosophy. For me: Teach to Wonder. #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@BroCstart For sure! Learning how to do things in a new way from other amazing educators energizes me. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6) I definitely try to build on Ss interest. This year, avocado pits in jars are taking over my room. Current count = 8 #scitlap

burgessdave Oct 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6 take NSTA webinars, go to summer institutes, learn new ways to integrate Tech, watch a lot of YouTube, now twitterchats! #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT

a7 #scitlap Every day is a new day. Start tomorrow.

Mr_Canterbury Oct 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A7: I try to start with "what do my students already know?". Then, "What do I want them to know at the end?". The rest is fun! #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis I NEED TO GET THERE THIS YEAR! What are dates? #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@BroCstart ummm check the hashtag. #usmspark Or send msg to @Chucktaft :) #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@BroCstart @SciTeach7Davis I know there is one in December in Columbus, OH. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7 U have a choice. Start with something you already "know" & add a twist. Or just grab the rope, swing off the ship, and jump in #scitlap

PerkyScience Oct 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7 Start where you are. Pick one thing and piratize it. If you constantly look for ways to add excitement you will find them. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT

I hope you are name-dropping! #scitlap https://t.co/el04Fux3Nt

A7. I can't imagine my classes without my #scitlap inspiration anymore!!! So boring lol

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

There's an ATL EDCAMP in a couple of weeks that I'm heading to. So excited to network! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

I think I need to learn how to piratize! Anyone have a "quick start" guide? #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7: Start where you're little comfortable-like music? Start there. Dancing? Do that. Pushing the env gets easier the more u do it. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

I want to go, next year! Here's hoping! #scitlap https://t.co/tTY4OTIwhe

chatting w/ admin & my dept, participating in field trials, taking risks, & inviting volunteers often. Making it fun for me. #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 26 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury have you read #tlap, or any of the other lap books? #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 26 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@BroCstart My wife has Teach and Learn. I am attention challenged when it comes to informational reading - something quicker? #scitlap

AliceCB32 Oct 26 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7 I start with the next lesson to give me time to plan and get supplies. Once I know what I'm teaching then I tlap. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Oct 26 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@Hobson_k That sounds like a GREAT idea! Mind Maps - can I see one? #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis @Mr_Canterbury Would be awesome to see @burgessdave in person. I need to keep my ear to the ground! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Q8) Share at least one idea you pirated tonight! (see what I did there?) #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Quick version, use HOOKS, pre-heat the grill, and take a risk! #scitlap https://t.co/BauCkfecxw

Mr_Canterbury Oct 26 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Try to read outside your interests - you'll grow regardless! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury @BroCstart Honestly, just reading the lists in the 2nd 1/2 of the #tlap bk are good ways to get inspiration. 2-3 min #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Please invite a buddy next week. LMK if you are interested in moderating soon… #scitlap
