It’s fun to watch @haschweingruber lead @CSSSupervisors like a conductor as we work together to find what is next for the group. Look at these pictures! #csss2023

Due to the continued snow, all Tooele County School District schools will have a virtual learning day again on Thursday, February 23. This will give our amazing crews time to remove the snow and make sure schools are safe for busses, students, parents, faculty, and staff.

This month's column. I got to pull out old physics books to make the case that science teaching changes for lots of reasons, not just the science of the time. standard.net/opinion/guest-c…

Johnston: Old and new science learning

I collect physics textbooks, a shelf of old, ragged books from a hundred years ago. It’s a thing. I like the thick, yellowed pages, occasional notes from some previous owner, the tactile cloth cover....

Earlier this week students were recognized at a drive through banquet at the District office for being winners of the Region 7 PTA Reflections Contest. Their entries will now move on to the state level of competition. Congratulations!

Did you know that picture books are useful for teaching science to all ages? @kissthebook shared with us at #UtSTA2022 the ways that students of all ages can effectively obtain, evaluate, and communicate information with picture books. kissthebook.org

Step 0 for effective science instruction and discourse: Help kids feel safe to make a prediction and feel they don’t need to right on their first attempt @MikeHeithaus #UtSTA2022 #UtSciEd

It’s wonderful hearing from @MikeHeithaus and the work of a marine biologist. BEST is how he is describing the importance of phenomenon-based and 3D Science learning without using the “lingo”. It’s a testament to how our goals for kids are related to real science!!! #UtSTA2022

This course will meet the new Utah Science Core (6-8) Endorsement Requirement for Three Dimensional Science and Engineering. Thank you UtSTA for your work preparing this.
UtSTA@UtSciTA30 Jan 2022
This course satisfies a new requirement for secondary teachers seeking endorsements, often referred to as “the 3D course." You will engage with science phenomena in authentic ways; dive into science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas.

Phenomena & problems drive student motivation & learning in 3D! Students seek to figure out how the natural world works & come up w/engineering solutions. Great examples at ngssphenomena.com & stemteachingtools.org/brief/… What is your favorite source? @STEMTeachTools @tjscience

Is it a model if you can eat it? In 3D Sci, Ss do more than build models out of edible parts! Ss construct & use models to show relationships, develop explanations, & make predictions @paulandersen mini-lessons help teachers start! thewonderofscience.com/mlsep… #SciEdABC #NGSSchat
