LISD Secondary Science Team

Oooh… I do love a new lab! VHS A+P is doing a simulated blood smear lab today. DYK that most vertebrate blood is nucleated? Mammals are the group without! Learning in @mrskppearce’s class! @lisdsecsci

Exploring & asking questions with CCAC. @lisdsecsci

Leading Profession Learning: a challenging team learning board game. Improve your teamwork, planning processes, team decision-making, & strategically grow teachers. Thank you, #txcsi! Soaking up every minute of learning! #wested

What will happen when we place each simulated cell (made of semipermeable dialysis tubing) in a different concentration of sucrose? #VHS AP Biology w/ Mr. Bruce! #1LISD @lisdsecsci

Structure/function. Just the beginning: modeling cells in MSScience. #1lisd #lisdsecsci

Chindōgu realness happening at #OurLMS Gateway! These inventions cracked me up! Back scratching TShirt, water briefcase, and “shades”….#1LISD @lisdsecsci

It’s a mystery…to Introducing Claim and Evidence with lab safety in 6th grade at #OurLMS. @lisdsecsci #1LISD

Small group instruction happening in #math classes plus some fun brain function thinking. #OurLMS @LeanderTigers

Amazing application in Mr O’Connor’s physics class. “How can we weigh Mr O’Connor’s car without picking it up?” 100% Engagement with lots of problem-solving, collaboration, and rich classroom discussion. #UnleashCuriosity @lisdsecsci @VistaRidgeHS @vista

“Life at its best is serving others.”-Manny Scott What a beautiful way to start this day. #1LISD

Leander ISD Parent Workshop #2 of 3 happening right now! Celebrating the power of Zoom, as 33 parents are in attendance to learn about this Human Sexuality Curriculum tonight. @AustinLifeGuard teaches our 7-9th graders every year. @lisdsecsci lifeguard-tx.org

@annawydeven These old tools are *not quite* #StandardsBasedGrading, but with a little easing of language this tool would be useful today.

Mrs. Wydeven’s toolkit: I trained my HS students to use this rubric and posted it, HUGE, on my wall. It was taboo to talk “grades.”We only talked “learning” and “improving.” I’d tweak words/titles today bc I know more, but check it out: What do you think? @lisdsecsci

Need more privacy? Room a mess? Distractions galore? Zoom Pro Tip: Update Zoom and choose “Blur” as a virtual background! Click your profile pic and “check for updates.” Thanks Zoom and @alijo419! ❤️ @lisdsecsci

A fun week of making distance time graphs #1LISD #distance #time #calculatingspeed

I am so proud of these science teachers! They lead our students to win sweepstakes at the Austin Energy Regional Science Fair. We had a student named Best in Show! 4 students won 1st place. 21 students in the top five! It's a great day to be a Ranger! @VistaRidgeHS @lisdsecsci
