Huge hail in Shawnee, KS. A friend of mine David Caton just sent me this picture. I asked him to cut the hailstone in half. Some are near baseball size. Look at the layers in the one cut in half. It went up and down violently inside that thunderstorm several times!
Does anyone have any examples of erosion or deposition on their playgrounds or communities? If so, please consider sharing images with me! Thanks! @OpenSciEd #OER #NGSS

Take a deep dive into the @OpenSciEd High School Physics course where students establish conventions for modeling forces and think about the connection between unbalanced forces, energy transfer, and motion. Learn more here: tinyurl.com/9n6av6dn #NSTASpring24

You won’t want to miss this #NSTA23 KC session outlining work that @SPPS_News, @BSCSorg, & @OpenSciEd have done to adapt OpenSciEd materials to support standards implementation & district equity goals. tinyurl.com/3wp9dp3b @abeslo @ksscienceguy @mnovakccl @stemwhitney
I've been locked out of my twitter for almost a month and still can't access it on my phone since the update to X, but now I'm back! I'm so ready to catch up on the awesome science ed work being shared on this platform!

Get to see for yourself in this #NSTA23 KC session how crosscutting concepts can appear in student questions and how those questions are motivated in a lesson. tinyurl.com/2356ve8c @stemwhitney @mrsbioteacher @dcvoss1 @OpenSciEd #STEM #SciEd

Join us and discover how the #OpenSciEd curriculum can help you tap into your students’ brilliance! 🤩 #OpenSciEdMS
This October, Tommy Clayton, and Whitney Mills will lead our Middle School Professional Learning Institute @NSTA! Attendees will,
✅ Discover strategies that empower students to ask questions, think critically, and actively participate in the scientific process.
✅ Get support and guidance to deliver engaging lessons that promote learning in the three dimensions (crosscutting concepts, science and engineering practices, and disciplinary core ideas).
✅ Explore instructional strategies that help you teach the first unit in the OpenSciEd middle school curriculum.

Piping plover chicks don’t follow the rules but we need you to! Some of the little chicks on the beach like to wander - A LOT. Please watch where you step, absolutely no dogs and kindly follow posted signs & temporary closures. Pass it on! Join us to #protecttheplovers! 🥰 – at Fort Tilden, Queens

We are BEYOND EXCITED to announce BSCS Biology: Understanding for Life has received all-green ratings from @EdReports, which is the first #highschool science program of its kind to receive this review! Read the report here: rb.gy/jy06o @KendallHuntK12
This is great advice from returning teachers! @OpenSciEd learning happens over time! @BSCSorg
We are getting ready for Day 2 of our @OpenSciEd Homemade Heater unit! It turns out there are some problems with MRE heaters- cost, access, and many more. How can we create something to heat our food if we don’t have traditional methods or flameless heaters available?

Does anyone have before/after images showing land change due to storms that they would be willing to give us permission to use in our @OpenSciEd elementary curriculum unit? Pls reach out to me!! @NGSSphenomena @NGSSchat #NGSS #erosion @pettaluma
