Flammability Lab for a Thursday! Students are enjoying the science of curiosity! 😁 #scied #middleschool youtu.be/99RmyaAgzp0

Solubility Lab in 7th grade chem this week! Looking at some physical properties of matter. Can't wait to do flammability tests next week! #552Bobcat docs.google.com/document/d/1M0…

@mrscochran15 Thanks so much for sharing! I use google forms all of the time and had no idea you could add audio! This is a game changer for my collaborative classes next year! 😊

A great way to accommodate for auditory learners! #552Bobcat #edchat

@RileySheets6 I had the privilege this year to do lunch duty due to the fact that we currently have 6 lunch periods at our middle school due to Covid and was the only core content teacher to have this opportunity. It was eye opening to interact with these students outside of my room!#552bobcat

I look forward to my lunch duty! Of the conversations I have with my@middle schoolers.

Teaching density to 7th Graders today! Building density columns as a demo and then having the students calculate the density of water and oil to compare! I have linked the student lab guide below: docs.google.com/document/d/1v9… #552Bobcats #scied

Such a great article about why nature is important to learning! I felt like many of the topics described me and how I grew up to be who I am and so connected to curiosity and education! Kids need more nature. #pblchat #552Bobcat

Working on Phase Changes this week so what did we do? We took solid water and created water vapor recording the change in energy along the way! (aka watched ice melt😂) #552Bobcat

Check out how I used screencasting for my current chemistry unit for 7th graders! #552Bobcat mswarakeducationclassroom.blogspot.com/2021/04/screen…

Giant laminated graph paper means practicing adding labels to the phase change graph in 7th grade chemistry! Kids are having a blast challenging each other to get the most labels correct :) #552Bobcat #scienceedu #middleschool

Love using this to help my students with different graphing activities in math! #552Bobcat desmos.com

Enjoyed creating this and can't wait to use it to refresh my students about lab safety! animoto.com/play/OgSjb7YhK… #peru552 #552Bobcat #labsafety #scienceedu

This would be a great lesson to do with my 8th graders this next quarter! #552Bobcat

Anyone else get super excited when supplies come in early for the next school year or is that just science teachers? 😁😍 #552Bobcat

Completing work just to keep busy doesn't satisfy today's #students. Try to enlighten them as to why it's important to them, specifically. #mondaymotivation #motivationmonday #education #iteachtoo

Preparing students for state testing coming up. Anyone have any resources they like using more so than others? Nebraska Department of Education has some cool resources for NSCAS education.ne.gov/assessment/sci… #552Bobcat #statetesting

Such a fun resource to use to teach the families of the periodic table. Love the last slide with interactive videos for all of the elements and their reactions! middleschoolscience.com/2016/07/18/col… #552Bobcat #science #education #periodictable

@vogtteacherlib I learned this week that creating multi-media presentations over content isn't as difficult or scary as I always thought it was! #552Bobcat

What Middle Schoolers Want from Relationship Building with Teachers by @SenorG link.medium.com/jjILDLuDOeb #middleschooleducator #552Bobcat #education #relationships

Curious: What are some fun and exciting ways that other educators encourage middle school students to turn in work on time when the students could care less? Any incentives that work more than others? #552Bobcat

As I prepare for this week of remote teaching before seeing my students again I remind myself that I am one person and through a screen I will help them in any way I can. Then once they are beck in person we can fill in the gaps & everything will be okay!#552Bobcat
