Beth, I have created a finished product and want to pass along the link. My goal is to provide effective, fun, and accurate learning materials…that are nice to look at too.

I’d welcome your feedback, and your sharing them with folks who could use them!

Reminded of CS Lewis…

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

Of the ones you’ve visited what was your favorite?

I started doing this on road trips and it was 100% great. The Iowa State Capitol is awesome. So is Colorado (as you noted). And the Nebraska State Capitol is the only one paid for before it was built. 😂 And it’s beautiful too.

As a science department we made “Johnstone’s triangles” for:

Physics
Biology
Earth science
Chemistry

It was a really fun exercise.

That’s great that POGIL counts toward this for you; it’ll be an awesome PD session.

Thank you, Marty. I’m pleased with how they’re turning out so far. Excited to share them.

Plus, it would be fun to have kids come and “swipe out” one set of reactants every time a reaction occurs, and move it to products!

Thank you for continuing this conversation. It’s important!!

I have come to love the idea of “low floor, high ceiling”. Conversations, tasks, or participation must be clear, easy, & safe enough to enter, AND must be authentic, concerning important things, or nuanced work. Otherwise it does a disservice to their potential, and they disengage (of course!).

Yes! And (to an extent) student agency is very important to honor if we want true learning to occur.

I’m not familiar with the tiers, Jeremy, at least by their official names. Would you describe them? No rush.
