Had a fabulous time demonstrating potential energy converting to kinetic energy at @MonashEducation open day! Lots of amazed young minds #primaryscience #primarySTEM #loveteaching

Looking forward to strategically taking next steps after a year of gains. Tools and apps used are displayed on the graphic. Each #Inquiry is supported by use of #digitalPortfolio in #Numbers #Pages or @seesaw #leadership #EveryoneCanCreate #ipaded #ipadchat @AppleEDU #STEMed

One person's trash is another's treasure ;) #PrimarySTEMChat
The year 2’s have loved the mess and chaos of a recycled objects #makerspace - they are so proud of their ‘Most Magnificent Thing’ creations @STEMLearningWA
Just the science and no political filters #COVID19Vic #COVID19nsw
Not a bad way to spend some time outside at school!
So lucky that at school we have special activities that we use as rewards for students who demonstrate our positive behaviours. It just so happens I’m actually supervising (while having a bit of fun!)
#SpecialEducation
I’ve been so happy to start this term at a special school teaching students in my classroom 3.06! I will be focusing on English, Maths, Personal, Social & Life skills with them! I have the most beautiful 8 students and will be at this school until at least the end of the year😊👨🏻🏫
A9 Gimmicky activities that have “STEM activity” labelled on top that some people sell drive me crazy…#primarySTEMchat
#2: Our 2nd most popular chat = "Let’s Talk STEM" with @monasheducation & @lucasjedu on 7/5/20
Q9: What drives you crazy when it comes to #STEM education?

A8 If I was a child again I’d love to play with the MakeyMakey! So many possibilities! #PrimarySTEMchat

A6. Research shows
Girls' Perception of Themselves
is shaped by age 6 & they believe they're less likely to be "really really smart" than boys. We must address this, reduce Math Anxiety, & convince girls "every dream is possible." #PrimarySTEMchat
#5: Our 5th most popular chat = "Encouraging Girls to do Maths" with @AshaRaoRMIT on 13/8/20
Q6: Why do you think we should encourage girls in particular to enjoy maths?
#PrimarySTEMChat
A6 It’s a simple answer. Why let half of the population miss out on STEM? The hard question is how do we get more girls engaged? #primarySTEMchat #girlsinSTEM

LOVE THIS! One of my class jobs is to water the plants. I’ll have to prompt them to watch the plants over time…#primarySTEMchat

Time to crack out my microbits to measure light in my classroom to determine optimum conditions for my plants! 🌱🌱 #primarySTEMchat
Light is great, can measure what light plants need to grow successfully. Or ideal light in classrooms. #PrimarySTEMchat #STEMnNature
A3 The value in learning something fun is that it invites the students to learn. They start to become more instrically motivated rather than doing it because they’ve been told #primarySTEMchat

Q3: Does STEM learning need to be exciting? What's the value in FUN?
#PrimarySTEMChat
I have to try this project out!
A2, 2 memorable projects were engineering a cardboard pin ball machine that highlighted angles where the ball bounced off the sides. Also a hand made mini golf course created with 3D objects for obsticles #PrimarySTEMChat

Q2: What does great #STEM learning look like with integrated maths?
#PrimarySTEMChat
Scott Ho 👨🏻🔬👨🏻🏫🦠🤯🍎 retweeted
A2: Authentic integration of maths looks like students not even realising they’re doing maths. They need to understand & apply the maths concept in order to solve the problem they want to solve eg. Understanding angles to draw with these Probots #PrimarySTEMchat

I have a Padlet on video provocations padlet.com/rachaellehr/provo… Feel free to add to this... #PrimarySTEMChat
A2 I’ll be honest I find it hard to integrate maths in #STEM past measurement. One time I did do it meaningfully was when I taught hydraulic forces with syringes and I was trying to explain how smaller area = greater froce. Division helped save the day! #primarySTEMchat

I’ve clearly invented a new physics term with ‘froce’ I meant to type ‘force’ whoops #primarySTEMchat

Totally!!! Bringing #STEM into children’s books is so emotionally energizing #PrimarySTEMChat

Are we answering the anniversary questions?
A1. from #10 my "go to" is Creative Experiences. They engage students like "nothing else does..."
