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

Supernumerary rainbow over Mount Royal University in Calgary. A bright and wide rainbow with with a green hue beneath the violet layer.

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? #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

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 #EdSci #NGSS 💙🧡💚

I agree with your assessment. I think that was the thinking in the Framework for K-12 #SciEd & still, Advanced Placement courses have their own standards & require students to use the scientific method as we did pre #NGSS Except now Ss are learning it as a single process in 10th - 12th grade. 🫠

Science Lead Sullivan👩🏻‍🔬🔬… 🔭 @sbsullivan.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

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

Science Lead Sullivan👩🏻‍🔬🔬… 🔭 @sbsullivan.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Sounds like a challenge. We in CT we don’t have priority standards the way math and ela do & I’ve found the sp ed dept often doesn’t know what to do with that. #NGSS all standards for all students.

The feedback was helpful. It let me relax into reading their work. I was able to much more easily review their work, grade the assessment, and give feedback. I haven’t heard from them if the feedback was helpful. Either way it was a useful catalyst in grading essays. Thanks for asking 😊

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? #NGSS #SciEd

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

Hi Stephanie - welcome, so glad to see you here. Do you have a favorite #OpenSciEd unit? And where some ways that working so deeply w #OSE impacted your #NGSS #SciEd instruction?

Thanks for asking. It was a general question. Brisk recently appeared as an option for us & I was curious how folks have been using it. In this instance I was thinking about testing it out with students’ written responses to a prompt and having it compare to rubric or for a glow and grow.

#NGSS & #SciEd #ScienceTeachers #EduSky 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?

I’m not sure I follow. The ‘traditional’ course progression for our students is 9th gr Bio 10th gr Chem 11th gr Physics Each course is a yr long course. Bc of the #OpenSciEd #storylines the students are also gaining knowledge and experience in Earth Science concepts #NGSS

The #OpenSciEd HS bio, chem, and physics units all embedded earth science in them. While it’s bananas that earth science has taken a back seat, at least it’s something
