⚡️It's alive!!!⚡️ Managed to get realtime physics to work with some nice-looking graphs in a 100% browser-based environment!

You don't need spectacular phenomena to uncover & develop students' ideas. Phenomena can be as simple as a pair of jeans hung out to dry or a thermometer inside a mitten. USI books have lots of examples of familiar phenomena #NGSS #phenomena #NSTA #formative #SciEd

The Physics of glasses 🤓 (far-sightedness)

The Argumentation Toolkit @berkeleyscience argumentationtoolkit.org "The resources are developed around 4 elements of scientific argumentation that students need extra support around: 1) Evidence, 2) Reasoning, 3) Student Interaction, & 4) Competing Claims."#ASTBookChat #NGSSchat

Have you seen the latest expansions to Virtual Field Trips for Science? 🚌 🔬 Plan a 'visit' to museums like Berlin Natural History Museum and Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Or explore factories like M&M 🍫 and Toyota 🚙 newse.la/2TgUyeF

Eliciting the prior knowledge students bring to class is part of asset-based thinking -- seeing differences in the classroom as assets.

Interesting patterns... Great Visualization of % of elements within the planets of the Solar System @elakdawalla pinterest.com/nesta_us/space… #mondaythoughts #space #Astronomy #geology #EarthScience #Chemistry #Physics

Best book for some #STEM and growth mindset inspiration!! Thanks @KinderPrincessD for always supporting a love science with your kinders ❤️❤️#nbpsscidept

HUGE NEWS! For #TeacherAppreciationWeek2020 , we are excited to announce browser-compatible versions of many of our legacy Java simulations! This stopgap solution opens on #Chromebooks & #iPads (performance/graphics will vary with device). Info here! docs.google.com/document/d/e/2…

We are happy to share our 30 Day Science Challenge!! While we are all engaged in home-based learning let's have some fun with science! See if you can complete each & cross them all off in 30 days. Share @NGSSphenomena and we will share some of our favorites! #NGSS #NGSSchat

Great resources to self-evaluate an improve practice! #nbpsscidept
