It's been a crazy, HOT, and sweaty day here in MA. We don't officially have a moderator tonight, but I've got some questions ready if we have some pirates here! Give a shout out, if you are here! #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 5 @ 9:04 PM EDT

OMG @daleyscience I was going to do the same thing! What's the first question for #scitlap tonight?

pentaclethra Sep 5 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Working on my matter curriculum tonight. Realizing I'd better include the elementary lvl #NGSS standards sinc my grade 8 Ss didn't get them yet. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Q1 How did you start off your first day/week of school? How did you rock with science? #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 5 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Anyone else around for a #scitlap gathering? @ohwowmrspowell @KRScienceLady @iluveducating @megan_hacholski @rdavisteaches @MrsG_SLP @SciTeach7Davis @JoyKirr

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 I start the year off with an experiment. I've tried a few, but I love the milk, soap, and food coloring exp. Lots of oohs and ahhs to kick off the year! #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 5 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 My first day is tomorrow! I'm freaking out! Trying @Flipgrid and play-doh on the first day. I must be craaazzyyy. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Sorry y’all....4 weeks in and I caught my first teacher cold of the year! 😟#scitlap

A1: Heyyyyy #scitlap! I don't have long to chat, but I'll pop on in! We "rocked it" with science today with the dancing raisins lab as a way to practice lab safety/the scientific method. It was my 6th graders' first middle school lab, and it was AWESOME!

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Wow, we started last week....and no, you are crazy amazing! Sounds like a blast. #scitlap

T is literally THE best, when you get to give them their first big kid science experience! I bet they loved it. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:14 PM EDT

I can come up with the next question, but does anyone want to throw out a burning question, or topic? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Q2 I said no, to something today and felt empowered....what do you nee to say no to? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 I always get myself involved in a ton of stuff, because I want to, because I love it. But sometimes I feel pulled. I need to say no to more committees. #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 I need to say "NO!" to my self-doubt. I have no trouble saying to to committees. I'm on enough. #scitlap

iluveducating Sep 5 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Thanks for asking - hitting #DBC50Summer hard tonight (obvi not hard enough since I checked my notifications though, right?) LOL #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 I also need to say yes more, to planning ahead. I'm good at last minute, but again, I get so busy. Going to be more deliberate at planning my time. #scitlap For example, signing up on the Google Doc to moderate my favorite PLN chat!

Q3 What experiment/activity do you look forward to the most during the year? Why? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Oh, oops...I re-read your response. I'll need might need some advice on those committees. I just like being part of the change. #scitlap #StillWannaBeYourTwin

A3 I love Halloween as do my Ss. Just fun Dry Ice demos and cool effects. I also love the density column lab because Ss love it and it is really cool. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 Honestly, it is gen an lotion, but the new frameworks moved them to 8th grade. Starting to like Energy...rollercoaster, pendulums, and heat. #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 5 @ 9:26 PM EDT

I knew if I didn't commit now I'd not follow through later. #scitlap

In reply to @daleyscience

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 Also. Every time I get an ice coffee from DD, I notice that plasric is a phenomenal insulated. I might need to make this an investigation. #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 5 @ 9:27 PM EDT

The foam tube coaster lab is a favorite now. So much fun building and rolling marbles down them. Talking about energy. #scitlap

In reply to @daleyscience

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Have you used the https://t.co/WxWiG3t4it website for building coasters, it's fun. #scitlap

In reply to @pentaclethra

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Well, @pentaclethra, my friend, I think it's just me and you with sniffly @SciTeach7Davis and busy @iluveducating peaking in. Shall we call it a night? You've got a big day tomorrow! What do you think? #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 5 @ 9:30 PM EDT

I have not. I think I looked into Jason once but didn't go further for some reason. I do like the hands-on experience involved in problem solving in RL. #scitlap

In reply to @daleyscience

Dry ice is awesomely fun! #scitlap

I will be on Twitter and planning. Taking a quick break to say good night to my youngest. I'll be here on #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Real life is definitely good. Kids do like it the website though and manipulating variables and you can make it a competition thing too.....could work with gamification??? #scitlap

Q4 How do you help make Ss see themselves as scientists? Meaning as doing science now and being scientists in the future. #scitlap #ngsschat #scichat

JolynnSullivan9 Sep 5 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A2) #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:40 PM EDT

So, if anyone is checking out #scitlap tonight, we are just informally chatting about the school year. We'd really love to keep this chat going, because it's all about Sci Ts taking risks to make learning engaging. We are better together, so please keep joining us each week.

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4 Great question, because they don't see themselves as scientists. I just immerse them in the role starting Day 1. I'd really love to interact with real life scientists. #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 5 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A4 When I visited a school in the Netherlands I noticed lab classes had lab coats for all Ss. How cool/practical is that?! I started getting lots of lab coats. Ss love wearing them. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A4 (Cont.) Once we had a speaker at my school. He was a meteorologist , who worked for a snowmobile company. How the weather was predicted for the year, helped shape sales. My mind was blown. Neorealism of this. #scitlap

JolynnSullivan9 Sep 5 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@KatieBorton LaurDIY, Emma Chamberlin, Fortnite Videos, Colleen Ballinger (Miranda Sings is “OUT”, though ;) #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:45 PM EDT

I believe @SciTeach7Davis has student lab coats. I think I wore one at her #usmspark session in 2017 #scitlap

Awesome Karla, can't wait. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A5 Hands down, my biggest challenge is the heat. It is harder at the beginning of the year, because you don't know each other well yet and we are just dying on the 3rd floor. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:54 PM EDT

I have not overcome this challenge except for just putting on my game face. It's all I can do!! #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 5 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Did I miss Q5? A5 Biggest challenge is putting in more #NGSS and working in sci method and metric somehow. Planning it out. Our school has central air. Was too cold a few spots. #scitlap
