Working on some lessons on light absorption and reflection and wondering if anyone has thought about accomodations for individuals with color blindness? #ngss #phenomenon #equity

@richbacolor @WendyJohnsonMI Totally creating an integrated physics and bio course together! It's exciting! All about deep understanding of matter and energy and application to ecosystems

I have three questions that I don't think I could teach without: *What do you notice? *What are you wondering? *What's your evidence? They're so simple, but they really help me understand what my Ss are thinking. What are the questions you find yourself using all of the time?

Question for standards based grading teachers: if a 1 is "no evidence" and kid turned in a blank test, dies kid get a 1 for no evidence? #sbg this is our first year doing this. Also note, our grading system is traditional 100 point A-E scale, we're just forcing sbg into it

#Chemtwitter help a brotha out... What is the technical term for the loss of volume upon mixing aqueous and organic solvents????? I've spent the last half hour searching for the term... Unless there is no term 😂 ... But I think there is.

@richbacolor @mskmayer @WendyJohnsonMI @MSTAMich Interesting discussions about energy in my elementary classroom. Most students associated energy with biological processes. “I have lots of energy, so I can run fast”. They also had a sense of energy as fuel, like gasoline. Sound and light? Didn’t come up in initial discussions

@veritasium one of my high school science students asked why spinning ropes or chains make this pattern. I gave my best explanation and consulted my colleague but still couldn't explain the whole phenomenon. Thought it could make a good youtube video

Today, Derek Chauvin was found guilty. But our legal system is still far from just, and students may still feel a lack of closure. We hope you’ll reaffirm the value of Black lives and create space for students to process. These resources can help. learningforjustice.org/the-moment/apr…

This. We say we want to raise critical thinkers, but when they start to question us/things we criminalize and punish them. We only love thoughtful children in the abstract, just like we theoretically believe in justice.

I’ve been feeling crummy these past few days with all the stuff going on the news but it always makes me happy to know I have science and wildlife to lift me up so I made a video doing what I do best, talking about science. #ScienceTwitter

So much love for all involved... so lucky to learn from such a knowledgeable, compassionate, and thoughtful group of teachers, writers, and leaders who were involved with the development, piloting, and revision of these engaging 5D storylines! #MeaningfulChemistry @NGSS_tweeps
