Reflecting on 3-dimensional learning: “I get nervous thinking about ALL these (SEPs) and ALL these (CCCs) and ALL these (DCIs) but when I think about these past few days, we’ve done all of these.” @BSCSorg @KYPIMSER

@msrivera114 @OpenSciEd Love that hail data!!

Spent the day looking for patterns in data. @OpenSciEd

@LaceyEckels @OpenSciEd @barretjcps @biology_hub @civey12 @JCPSMiddleEA @RobFulk I love this SO MUCH!!!!

Driving home today my ❤️ grew 2 sizes. My kiddo WILLINGLY shared that what she learned in the @OpenSciEd Cups unit is helping her figure things out in the Hail unit. She couldn’t wait to tell me how she used particles in her initial model. Way to go @barretjcps T Ms. Thurman!

As part of the @OpenSciEd developer team, Associate Professor @ameliagotwals is addressing the roadblocks elementary schools face with science curriculum: edweek.org/teaching-learn…

Oof! All the feels when your 7 year old writes:

Telling the story of ideas for the Chemical Reactions #OpenSciEd unit! @JCPSScience @BSCSorg @LaceyEckels @jemahfoud

6th grade teachers in @JCPSScience are exploring #OpenSciEd’s Chemical Reactions. And there are so many reactions already! @BSCSorg @LaceyEckels @JBintzBSCS

@staralixstar42 I’ve been out of the classroom for a few years but just can’t say enough how thankful I am for all of you who care so much about your Ss and are working harder than you ever have before. You matter in the lives of your Ss! Thanks so much for keeping their whole selves in mind! 🙏

This should be an opportunity for great collaboration among science teachers from around Colorado! @BSCSorg

@maryruthless @rgay Sending something your way!
