We’re recruiting HS Ts to participate in an assessment study focused on pilot testing phenomenon-driven bio assessment tasks w/ Ss. The study will help us understand how to better design science assessments that work w/ hi-quality instructional materials. bscs.org/pilot-2025

Our @KnoxSchools K-5 STEM Ts kicked off #NationalEngineersWeek at DLD. They participated as learners in LEGO Spike lessons that challenged them to solve a real world problem by applying physical science ideas to build a prototype, create a code, & test! @KCSScience @KnoxSTEM

How does a sapling grow into a huge tree? 7th grade science @GibbsMSEagles @HallsMiddle and Gresham dove into new unit anchored on this question. They engaged as learners, experienced strategies in action and brought the learning to life. @KCSScience @GladiatorGlover @CWhite_KCS

Great day in Mr. Mertz’s AP Bio class! Investigated cause of a foodbourne illness and determined the offending food item through dna analysis. Student: “now I understand gel electrophoresis, I didn’t get it when it was lines on paper.” @MiniOneSystem @KCSScience @HHS_MrLong

Wonderful example of shared leadership at West High. Each school leader walked through a school improvement goal and the strategies that will be implemented 👏🏼👏🏼#OneWest @ashley_speas @shelly_maddux @sjsmith2509

I’ve been teaching the @BSCSorg Stella storyline I learned this summer. Today was day 5, and I had a student exclaim “this is why I love science” during the lesson. This kid was not loving science on day 1 & that just reinforced my belief in teaching science through storylines!

@KCSScience teachers @FarragutMS are so excited for students to arrive this week. They are ready to utilize ?s to elicit, probe, and challenge student thinking and position students to be the “knowers” and “thinkers” as they work to figure things out 2gether 👏🏼👏🏼
