Love #SlowRevealGraphs and remain grateful to @JennaLaib who curates and contributes to her site- slowrevealgraphs.com/! Definitely a powerful routine for analyzing and interpreting data. Keep doing what you do, @RebeccaGarelli!
Saturday AMs are for building content! I am developing a new 3-hour PD on the practice of Analyzing & Interpreting Data- focusing on how to use slow reveal graphs-thx @jennalaib & @STEMAZingST! I modified a graph embedded within an @NSTA Daily Do-Why Does Some Food Disappear?

I now want to be a micropaleontologist. Absolutley LOVED exploring #microfossils aboard @TheJR while participating in #SchoolOfRock on #EXP400T. Thanks to Dr. Fabricio Ferreira and Dr. Carlos Alvarez Zarikian for igniting this newfound passion for a field of scientific study.
#FoundThatLizard but this was a tough one. Can you find it??
Lizard season is almost over. These next couple weekends, I'm really going to have to get out & get more photos before the lizards go in for the winter. But for now we have our tried and true western fence lizard to keep us busy. Can you #FindThatLizard? LMK with #FoundThatLizard

With all the focus on the other #Oppenheimer, perhaps we could take a moment to learn a bit about the #TeacherOppenheimer - Frank! Did you know Frank Oppenheimer is the founder of the @exploratorium? #Physics theguardian.com/science/blog…
Don't miss Demo: The Movie from @alomshaha. An awesome tool for teachers to look at about why we should use phenomenon to engage our students! And Alom winds up at the @exploratorium that Frank #Oppenheimer founded. #Physics #TeacherOppenheimer youtu.be/ei57i78leUo
In all the hustle and bustle to focus on #Oppenheimer, let's not overlook the dark side of this history. Be sure to explore the displacement of native people from their land to build the national labs and do nuclear testing. Let's celebrate Loyda Martinez! lnkd.in/geJST5d2
Adding this to my favorite commencement addresses of all time list! @reshmasaujani nailed it. I too am guilty of using this term. Never again. Change the broken systems. #SystemsThinking #NoMoreBikeFace youtu.be/BoHDDgeQtlc
