This should be the story tomorrow, and every day:

The leader of one of America’s two major political parties has just signaled to the Kremlin that if elected, he would not only refuse to defend Europe in World War III, but he would gladly support Vladimir Putin.

It’s somehow deeply weird that you can take a camera with a nice but normal-sized zoom lens, point it at space, click the button, and take pictures of other planets. They’re apparently just RIGHT THERE??

As educators, we're influenced by core values that shape our teaching practices. What are some fundamental ideas that guide your approach in the classroom or teacher identity?

Science teachers, which teaching style do you favor? 'Concept-first' where you explain the theory before a demonstration, or 'Phenomenon-first' where you start with the demonstration?

I'd love to hear your thoughts: Does incorporating play into the classroom enhance students' science learning, or does it serve as a distraction?
