Even infants explore phenomena! There is no age at which children begin thinking about their world and testing out their ideas. #earlyscience #ECE #STEMstartsEarly
By exploring phenomena, students have opportunities to apply science and engineering practices and to build their own larger scientific conceptions and identities.

One of my faves for supporting productive talk in #PreK & elementary: Practice Brief 72 - How can arguing from evidence support sensemaking in elementary science?

Our next @STEMTeachTools PD webinar for #NGSS is probably my favorite! (🤫) #NGSSchat
⚡️ We analyze different education scenarios to see how to build on the varied INTELLECTUAL STRENGTHS of each student as they make sense of #SciEd phenomena. ⚡️

At @ISD719CommEd Nature Adventures Camp the students were all about catching "grasshoppers." Upon looking closer they realized some looked different from others which led to learning about katydids and crickets.

From an early age, children notice & appreciate patterns in the world around them. Patterns & sequences of different kinds begin to pop up all over the place, especially in the BOOKS they love.

Thanks to the shade of the forest & Mother Nature's "fan," the heat didn't stop us from having a great 3 hours of camp.
Picture: It's impossible to explore water with preschoolers without someone flooding their boot. 🤣
In #ECE we may steer children away from arguing but “Engaging in argument from evidence” is one of the @OfficialNGSS Practices of Science & Engineering. Children love to state how they know what they (think) they know ➡️great discussions/opportunities 4 oral language & reasoning.
Argumentation is central to productive science learning. How can your classroom and lab activities be modified to provide opportunities for argumentation in these discussion formats?

Just received my advance copy of this groundbreaking infant and toddler STEM book edited by expert @ECSIF colleagues @BethVanMeeteren and Sherri Peterson! And yes that's my recommendation on the back cover along with @PeggyAshbrook and Shelly Counsell!

Children learn so much about the diversity of plant life and the different structures that plants have when they have some opportunities to explore, touch, and pick. (Yes *my* garden suffers many losses to the toddler’s exploration) #OutdoorLearning @ECSIF

A great resource for learning about #weather and measuring precipitation in particular. Even for #preK and #kindergarten!
What explorations of light and shadow have been most engaging and enduring for your young children/students? #phenomena #earlyscience

*admin* TY @ScienceEdDPS for a week looking at systematically implementing curr/inst at district level! This week, welcome @taftphaedra1, an elementary sci coach in CT. Excited to bring another freshman tweeper to the account to engage with this month. Looking forward to it!
What kind of problem solving do your #Prek students do in the #sandbox? So many possibilities for appreciating the properties of matter while making #engineering design choices! #foundationalexperiences
Many youth have extensive experience observing or engaging in design projects that develop solutions to everyday problems or interests that matter to them. The design knowledge and identities of youth can help other students in #engineering: stemteachingtools.org/brief/…
