Thank you for joining us! For those who just joined us, just a reminder that we set-up the meeting in a way that you cannot unmute yourselves manually. Later during the meeting you will have a chance to speak, and to do so we will just need you to use the "Raise Hand" feature so we can unmute you. Again, welcome!

WOOHOO Jason, NBCT! Me too! Renewed once. That was enough…

@Susan, congratulations to you!

Evelyn Willburn, SSOS Coach in Southwest Region School District

Soon to be fifth grade long-term sub, and teaching science!

The day my students determined the mass of a molecule

Teaching first grade; students made telephones with string and cans

It would be noisy, students will be talking and asking questions, taking notes and checking if their hypothesis is correct.

Hands on! All students are working independently or in small groups to create their own product or conducting their own experiment. Students are all engaged and having fun!!

lots of talking, lots of laughter, everyone is engaged, doing something

The teacher is merely observing. Students are actively communicating with one another. Questioning. Moving. Interacting.

measuring, observing, students in group, students asking questions and talking together

Etching about sled dog fur and getting 4th grades to sellout ALS for bonus points was fun!

Looking for macroinvertebrates in a creek! Students were engaged and curious!

hands on learning and engagement

My best days were almost always Place Based

The students were engaged and excited. They were talking about it and trying things out.

everyone engaged, not necessarily at the same point in the process but all involved

The best day is when I had students working in groups on a science experiment. You can hear the excitement and see the engagement.

My favorite science experience was working with Cheryl Cooper and the Alaska Science Consortium. Their modeling helped me to develop the ideas, centers and confidence to teach science.

sorry my spelling is horrible…no time to spell check!

Inventive spelling works here!

Nature journal sketching and annotating

students experimenting with catapult designs, creating, testing, adjusting and analyzing their results.

conducting experiments, letting the kids develop ideas through their observations

Students brainstormed and chose their own question that they wanted to answer. Then they designed and conducted their experiment to answer that question.

UAF partner ships with winterberry project and dirty Snow project, making models of the skeleton for 4th graders

Observe and construct explanation for what they observed

Exploring the natural world.

Analyzing and Interpreting data - Having students look and discuss information with supports

Well, we’re in the midst of Science Fair projects so there’s that! I prefer students choose topics that interested them.

Giving students the chance to be problem solvers and use their creative instincts. It is also important that they are reflective of their work.

Giving student materials and asking them to write questions

I have used developing and using models with sound and light explorations.

Argumentation in all content areas

What energy is spread throughout the chain of these living things (from the sun)?

How does energy get from the sun to the bear? I typed it before you said it! haha

Relate how bears get energy from salmon

what happens if the rabbit can't find enough to eat?

Where do producers get their “food”?

How does the energy get from the grass to the eagle?

How does an eagle get energy from the sun?

How does a plant use the suns energy?

How do plants create the energy to grow?

Explain what happens if you eliminate a part of the food chain.

How does the sun influence the eating habits of an eagle?

Is energy transferred from one consumer to another diminished?

You guys are making it easy for us!

Partly cloudy

Cool summer B)

We’re going to have snow lots and lots of snow and there is nothing you can do to stop it!

Gusty winds to 45, mid 30s

Partly cloudy

Cold out, but it's sunny!

70 degrees, no wind, calm day!

Sunny w/ wind gusts 5-7 mph

Mostly sunny with a breeze. Occassionally, storms blow in.

Sub-zero temperatures with COVID, chilly but with hope for sunshine!

-10 and gusts at 45mph

Please tell me again what 3 dimensional means?

NOAA is a great resource. Has anyone here ever heard of the Maury Project (physical oceanography) or Project Atmosphere? They are from the Am. Meteorological Society

I was one of the curators and this resource is awesome

@Evelyn… Three Dimensional Learning suggests using the #1)Practices of doing science and engineering, #2) the Crosscutting Concepts like Cause and Effect, etc… to help understand #3) the Disciplinary Core Ideas…

Thank you

Who are those pink things? Never saw them before

Back up singers

@Susan… They are Muppets! Surely someone on this chat also knows their exact names!

LOVE Steve Spangler

What do YOU see?

Why do you think is happening?

Where does fog come from? How does it dissipate?

What is forming the fog?

Shy is it foggy?

Why isn't the fog near the bottom of the playground?

Why isn’t it clear?

Why are the clouds on the ground?

If you were to touch the rail what would you feel and why do you think that?

Can fog be captured in the tubes of the playground? What does that look like? Do you know what that’s called?

Where else have you seen fog?

Why is the fog behind the playground and not in front?

The recording and presentations will be available.

Thank you, everyone!

Thanks so much everyone

Excellent job!

THANK YOU Everyone! Here’s to great science for all students!

Is anyone able to tell us whether or not there will be a STATE test this year? I know Grade 4 Science was moved to Grade 5. It would be nice to know what the plan is for this year…?

when is the testing window?

Thank you for that update.

Thank you! It was recharging for me. It was good to be in dialogue about 3-D Learning in Science.

Testing window- March 28 - April 29, 2021

She can look at the K-2 webinar on ASTA
