I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t think it’s appropriate for most high school kids to have to trawl the whole internet to do a research assignment. Give them some good websites to start with.

I like this and I feel like it is a good thing to give students to consider if they ask " why do we have to learn/do this"

@offgridteacher @Larryferlazzo I feel like I've been told conflicting things regarding order, but consistently that multiple representations is key (like having text and video, or text and picture)...but I don't have specific references

@Larryferlazzo @GoffTeaches But I don’t know what research supports.

Most of my ELL students say they prefer to read content first, and then watch videos about it. A few say the opposite. What does research say about best way 2 learn?

I like stories about scientists finding something that is "obviously wrong" then realizing it's definitely right (things like Planck's constant, Rutherford's scattering experiment)

Thinking about anscombe's quartet and "datasaurus" with regards to my grading practices and how I want to grade...not sure if anyone knows what I'm talking about, but if you do/have thoughts, I'm curious to hear them

I need to take a look at the data/research here...thanks for sharing @OfficialNGSS

When the previous book owner leaves you a helpful note...

@GoffTeaches @A2_ClagueMS @HuronHighA2 That is #AAPSAwesome news! 👏👏👏 Thank You & Congrats to @A2_ClagueMS & @HuronHighA2 Science Olympiad Teams! @A2schools

For those of you filling in your Science Olympiad brackets at home...both @A2_ClagueMS and @HuronHighA2 Flights placed second overall in their respective divisions

Yeah Science Olympiad! Hope it's a nice long flight

I feel like it always snows for Science Olympiad competitions...should be a good day anyway

I didn't plan ahead for dinner with parent teacher conferences tonight, so I'm just sitting here with a plate of meatballs next to my computer...

Last week my students were expressing their frustration with my black and white slides and told me "you seem like the kind of teacher who would use memes on their slides, but you don't." Does anyone have any good chemistry memes for my students?

@Teachforaliving @tevetorbes What about a phone/app that recognizes a QR code on the screen? I'm pretty sure snapchat had something like this for the snap code things so I imagine that's also pretty easy

@tevetorbes I keep waiting for somebody to figure out a way to create a QR code that you can click on. Can’t be that hard.

These are amazing!

When I was in high school I didn’t have money for a Science Olympiad project so this store in Hartselle Alabama gave me and my buddy Stevo hardware and supplies for free. Because of them we won State (also because Stevo understood op-amps and 555 timers). Told them thanks today.

Forget the ions, forget the charges. Let's just figure out how to write compounds with different numbers of elements. Don't know yet whether I'll keep the title of this practice set. Leaning toward "yes".

Due to predicted inclement weather, All @A2schools will be closed tomorrow, Wed,Jan 25th. Winter storm conditions w/ peaks of heaviest snowfall & deteriorating travel conditions are expected in the afternoon. Snow day, snowmen artwork shared from Ms. Erickson's kinders @DickenA2
