Ambitious Science Teaching with @mbraaten and @DPSNewsNow K-12 science educators - kicking off a year-long learning experience tonight!

I’m case a visual helps….

What is the common ancestry of any good storylined unit? Co-design, Research, Modeling, and Standards-mapping are on the list!

So many great questions about rodents, clover, and pigeons! I bet if we answer them all, we'll be able to explain how urbanization is driving evolutionary changes...and maybe even come up with some ideas for adjusting how we urbanize in the future! @OpenSciEd

Who else is finding evidence of student sense making and reversible-reaction explanations (in context) in school hallways today????

It is always fun to learn that what the @OpenSciEd curriculum writers anticipated students would think, question, and share actually plays out in situ. Check out the blue list + the benefits and costs of each that this class came up with to start L1: (1/3)

Love seeing these hand-on artifacts and evidence of students using their own questions to drive instruction in @DPSNewsNow @iHub Biology classrooms supporting students making sense of a phenomenon!

How does my watch know this??? Should be part of a computer science class in high school!

Also....a teacher in Denver keeps her class' DQB right in the center of the room where everyone can see and use it :) I LOVE walking in this classroom every week and noticing the progress the class has made on their questions (checking the post-its and moving them around)

I love participating in the @OpenSciEd high school project….two days ago we were figuring out how to start designing a new chemistry unit and today I’m delivering materials to teachers in @DPSNewsNow who are testing out a newly redesigned bio unit!
