Today my chem Ss developed scientific models for 1 of my favorite anchoring events. I love the amount of “science talk” that goes on when Ss are curious about WHY things happen #chemchat #NGSSchat @HEHSHawks #Chemistry

@ashley_green2 @KristinGregory7 @HamikChem Fantastic! A clever way to include models and visualize the subatomic particles!

Ss don’t often “know what they know” until they say it out loud. This is why we practice the skill of scientific modeling in chemistry class #ngsschat ⁦@HEHSHawks⁩ #chemchat

Rule #1 of scientific modeling: All hands on deck! All lab partners are drawing and writing at the same time #ngsschat ⁦@HEHSHawks⁩ #chemchat

My favorite thing about developing scientific models is observing the level of communication between Ss. #ngsschat ⁦@HEHSHawks⁩ #chemchat

Ss need kinesthetic learning more than ever. So happy to see my chemistry Ss communicating and having fun this year #chemchat ⁦@HSDistrict211⁩ ⁦@HoffmanHS⁩

These 2 Ss crushed it as Mazemasters this week! #chemchat ⁦@HoffmanHS⁩

Do your students need a tutorial on protons, neutrons, and electrons? How about isotopes and ions? Check out my new chemistry lesson: #chemchat Subatomic Particles youtu.be/rJBWxXEi0h0 via @YouTube

@gbbns_wendy @HoffmanHS You can find info about My First Day Lab on my NGSS blog: tanyakatovich.wordpress.com/2016/08/29/my-…

@tkatovich @HoffmanHS What lab are they doing?

WE’RE BAAAAACK!! So happy to see Ss IN-PERSON and doing labs today! #firstday #NGSS #chemchat @HoffmanHS

Think kids are happy to be doing science labs again??? You betcha!! ⁦@HoffmanHS⁩ #chemchat

Thanks to Hidden Oaks Nature Center for Hosting the 2021 PAEMST Awards Dinner. Congrats to the 2021, 2020 IL State Finalists and to Tanya Katovich & David Sladkey-2019 Awards Winners! #PAEMST @Naperville203 @HSDistrict211

@mrsleban @ILSTOY Can't wait to see you!! Should be a very cool reception :)

Here's the physical property video if you'd like to use it. #ngsschat #chemchat #scichat youtu.be/vfqYnALvLF4

Wanted Ss to analyze data so I recreated my Classification of Elements lab for remote learning. Asked Ss to analyze properties using 17-min video on physical properties of 12 elements & short videos for their chem properties in acid & CuCl2. All 25 videos on my YouTube channel.

Thanks for a great discussion @mr_jeff_stewart! @HoffmanHS
