Wow - look closely and you can see green below the violet.

I was fortunate to spot this, the widest #Rainbow 🌈 I’ve ever seen. Thanks Calgary 🇨🇦. After doing some digging I learned this #Phenomenon is called a supernumerary rainbow.

What a beautiful way to wrap a cool experience at #Envirothon

Supernumerary rainbow over Mount Royal University in Calgary. A bright and wide rainbow with with a green hue beneath the violet layer.

Day 2 of summer break. It’s hard to turn my #SciEd brain off.

This was my 1st yr teaching #APEnvironmentalScience I enjoyed it & find my mind drifting back towards what I want to do this yr. & I know I oughta rest.

What are some ways you shift into summer mode and out of school mode?

El modelo 5E no es una moda: es el mejor punto de partida para una pedagogía activa real.
Si se implementa bien, allana el camino al ABP, al cooperativo… y hasta la tecnología cobra sentido.

June is over. If you're charged with preparing PD for teachers, please review some considerations. Much appreciated. #BlackEduSky #EduSky

Love this as an anchor chart. Hope to duplicate it this week, as my standard chem gets into balancing equations & AP Environmental tackles unit 5 (& its 17 modules 🫠)

A powerful anchor chart indeed @teacher2teacher.bsky.social My school has been implementing this process for almost 2 years now. All of our brains are being stretched. It’s a good thing! #EduSky

So excited! We start #OpenSciEd C.4 Oysters 🦪 unit next & this yr we are integrating our very own #LongIslandSound & local shell fishing partners

One of my fav things is helping Ss see science topics in our local community

How have you adapted #OSE etc to incorporate local issues

Science Lead Sullivan👩🏻‍🔬🔬… 🔭 @sbsullivan.bsky.social · Dec 8

I agree with your assessment. I think that was the thinking in the Framework for K-12 #SciEd & still, Advanced Placement courses have their own standards & require students to use the scientific method as we did pre #NGSS Except now Ss are learning it as a single process in 10th - 12th grade. 🫠

Science Lead Sullivan👩🏻‍🔬🔬… 🔭 @sbsullivan.bsky.social · Dec 7

Bc of the way the Practices 💙 are separated, the structure of #OpenSciEd units, I’ve noticed Ss don’t gain a practical understanding or the rote skills for using Scientific Method.

This leaves our AP teachers at a disadvantage & perhaps we need to adjust. What do you think? #NGSS #SciEd

Science Lead Sullivan👩🏻‍🔬🔬… 🔭 @sbsullivan.bsky.social · Dec 3

Sounds like a challenge. We in CT we don’t have priority standards the way math and ela do & I’ve found the sp ed dept often doesn’t know what to do with that.

#NGSS all standards for all students.

This is so cool. It reminds me of a #RadioLab episode I recently heard. They talked about, a ball of lightning. The segment is in the very beginning. #SciEd #NGSS
