Are you outside the eclipse’s path of totality? Don’t worry. Nearly everyone in North America can still witness a partial eclipse. The duration will vary depending on your location. to.pbs.org/3VU0Dyy

Whether you are in the path of totality or not, wear proper “eclipse glasses” when looking in the sky today. Otherwise, you risk serious eye injury. @milesobrien asks @neiltyson what to look for in eclipse glasses and when to wear them.

Today is day 2 of the #highschool Curriculum Launch for facilitators! 🥳 To start the day, educators discussed how the Navigation Routine helps teachers and students advance through the unit storyline. The Navigation Routine enables students to experience the unit as a coherent storyline in which each activity has a purpose and is connected to what has gone before and what is coming. It also provides a valuable opportunity for students to reflect on their learning over time.

“The Anchoring Phenomenon is a great way to get to know your students. I got to know my students at a deeper level when teaching my students with these units than I did with previous curriculums.” To wrap up the 1st day of the #OpenSciEd Curriculum Launch, educators discuss the power of the Anchoring Phenomenon routine. The Anchoring Phenomenon routine is used to kick off a unit of study and drive student motivation throughout the unit. The purpose of the Anchoring Phenomenon routine is to build a shared mission for a learning community to motivate students in figuring out phenomena or solving design problems. 🌎 Click this link to learn more tinyurl.com/4798sau7! 😃 #professionallearning #inspirededucators

"If you give a mouse a cookie, he will...." In science class "If you give Ss a #phenomena, they will initially have multiple solutions." That's the goal; working together to build a consensus. @ActivateScience #IQWST @IQWSTeducators

Classifying 6 mystery rocks today. Instructed kids to name/number their rocks. Class "Rockstar" Danica had her team label them with the names of @FriendsTV characters. Love the creativity! #IQWST @ActivateScience @ngss_tweeps
