This video is gorgeous 😍

Day 1 cont: 12 Ss started with @cossettej.bsky.social's passionatelycurioussci.weebly.com/blog/game-of.... This is a great way to kick-start the 12s and we talked about the challenges of figuring out the rules of the game from within the game #teach180 🎢

There is no better sign that we will be using ramps than walking into the classroom and seeing one of those Holt texts on the lab bench 😅

Based on the conversations people are having about my image, I think yours does a better job connecting to the *true* definition of "precision". Using cutting wood to length makes way more sense to me than variation in multiple digital measurements. Thanks for sharing!

It's tricky because I think precision is typically present as this "deviation" approach. The issue that I have with it is that massing something as "100g" five times in a row doesn't make it more precise. Both ideas have value, but I find this instrumental definition more useful to students.

Looks like you had a busy but engaging week! I can definitely relate with the first week feelings...

haha we confirmed it with that last balance on the right of course 😅

I've never thought of using MCWordle with intro questions like this. Awesome idea!! 😁

It's so nice to have the ability to edit it to include exactly what you want! Here's a version that my colleagues and I made in powerpoint 😅

If your reality is like mine, you will end up doing that anyway (one group at a time) so I think a preset example is a good idea to give them a model. That way they are more ready to do the thinking that you want then to do

And yes. I am still grieving the loss of what we used to have in terms of a vibrant online community. 😩

I think the magic of this is in the "respond to these student ideas" on the second page. 😊 I could see students getting bogged down in the logistics of the data collection. This could probably be addressed with a general diagram of the set up and maybe a completed velocity direction column.

As a warning, the stuff that I have posted isn't updated yet for the 2025 curriculum yet. I'm hoping to get some of the new stuff up there this summer and during the school year...

I know this is a simple thing but I really like this. 😊

Wow! This is REALLY good. How long did that take to put together?!?

"Mythbusters for the Impatient" is one of the best Youtube channels out there 😀
