Here is the template that students were using to offer peer feedback on models. We love to see how face-to-face tools pop up in practice. https://t.co/gHPknIPxaU

@PalmierisPeople Thanks!

So, tomorrow I'm using lots of Back Pocket Questions designed to work on 4 ideas: density AND buoyancy AND weight AND displacement.

Teachers are now wondering if ice cubes work the same as icebergs and are curious about the kiddo's idea about "holding ice up"

[Ambitious Sci Teach @ASTbigideas]

Interviews with children in field placements raised the idea that the liquid water must be able to hold the ice "up" somehow.

[Ambitious Sci Teach @ASTbigideas]

Our first exploratory science talk brought up ideas about how the density of ice vs liquid water matters for floating. But no idea why.

[Ambitious Sci Teach @ASTbigideas]

Tomorrow in elementary teacher prep we're building initial models explaining why we think ice floats in water ... here's what we have so far

[Ambitious Sci Teach @ASTbigideas]

Love the emphasis on revision. That's one reason why we don't really think of student ideas as misconceptions but as sense-making over time. https://t.co/TnLfqvSrFx

Giving such thoughtful feedback on our final science models! Gotta Have It Checklists are coming in handy! @ASTbigideas #greenbrier25

[Ambitious Sci Teach @ASTbigideas]

@PalmierisPeople Nice! What's on the feedback template that kids are using? Can you post a blank one for us to see/share?

[Ambitious Sci Teach @ASTbigideas]

What questions are you asking about these athletes? What're kids interested in figuring out? We'd love to hear more @PalmierisPeople https://t.co/dzYDRV29Rx

Ambitious Science Teaching cookies from one of Mark Windschitl's students. You know who else would love some AST cookies? @SciMilo would!

Thanks for the great suggestion @SedateKohler! Tools for Ambitious Science Teaching (https://t.co/jxccQeB9cN) DOES need a twitter handle!
