Wow - look closely and you can see green below the violet.

I was fortunate to spot this, the widest #Rainbow 🌈 I’ve ever seen. Thanks Calgary 🇨🇦. After doing some digging I learned this #Phenomenon is called a supernumerary rainbow.

What a beautiful way to wrap a cool experience at #Envirothon

Day 2 of summer break. It’s hard to turn my #SciEd brain off.

This was my 1st yr teaching #APEnvironmentalScience I enjoyed it & find my mind drifting back towards what I want to do this yr. & I know I oughta rest.

What are some ways you shift into summer mode and out of school mode?

June is over. If you're charged with preparing PD for teachers, please review some considerations. Much appreciated. #BlackEduSky #EduSky

School let out 6/12. Since then I’ve been working w #SciTeachers on curriculum for 8 different courses. Today is day 1 of summer break & it feels great to have wrapped the yr w Ss, supported Ts in the curriculum, & now finally join my kids on summer vacation 🏁🏁🏁🎢☀️🏖️🏁🏁🏁 #APBio #NGSS #Forensics #EduSky

Love this as an anchor chart. Hope to duplicate it this week, as my standard chem gets into balancing equations & AP Environmental tackles unit 5 (& its 17 modules 🫠)

A powerful anchor chart indeed @teacher2teacher.bsky.social My school has been implementing this process for almost 2 years now. All of our brains are being stretched. It’s a good thing! #EduSky

So excited! We start #OpenSciEd C.4 Oysters 🦪 unit next & this yr we are integrating our very own #LongIslandSound & local shell fishing partners

One of my fav things is helping Ss see science topics in our local community

How have you adapted #OSE etc to incorporate local issues

Bc of the way the Practices 💙 are separated, the structure of #OpenSciEd units, I’ve noticed Ss don’t gain a practical understanding or the rote skills for using Scientific Method.

This leaves our AP teachers at a disadvantage & perhaps we need to adjust. What do you think? #NGSS #SciEd

A friend recently shared with me www.globe.gov as my AP Environmental class is scheduled to take albedo data from our campus. Looks like a great place for our data to go & an awesome #CitizenScience opp for my students. Is anyone else here doing this? Would you share you experience?

We’ve been fortunate in my district to receive a lot of pd and release time to make sense of these units.

1 bit of advice, take the assessments as a student would before you start teaching the unit. It makes a difference.

#SciEd #NGSS #OpenSciEd
For anyone getting ready to take on their first #OpenSciEd unit after Winter break: this one’s for you! Remember, #OpenSciEd represents the appropriate depth and rigor for those in #NGSS states: even for college-bound kids. It may not be what you’re used to, and that’s alright! 😀

Good morning,
#SciEd #NGSS #EDUsky folks I’ve got some grading to do this weekend and have been wondering about how I might use #AI to help. I have access to #Brisk

Can you share you experiences?

What do you all think about a slow chat? e.g. one prompt a day for 5 days?

Im going to adjust the ‘tags’ (RegEx) for the #NGSS feed
Current tags:
NGSS|NextGenSci|Storyline|Storylines|SciEd|Phenomena|Phenomenon|OpenSciEd

Phenomena & Storyline are picking up non #SciEd shall I cut them?

What should be added to catch SciEd related posts?

Something I enjoyed most about the shared experience on the other app was our ___ chats, eg #NGSSchat #EdChat etc, there were so many moments to reflect and share experiences / ideas.

Do others feel the same? Are there enough of us here to start again?
