👀NEW RESOURCE SNEAK PEEK!
Next week, we’ll be releasing our latest new resource for science educators and materials developers: #KeepTeachingScience: Successful Strategies to Adapt K-12 Science Experiences for Distance Learning 1/7
Today kicks off the #OpenSciEd round 5 training of California field test teachers! Testing out a virtual driving question board! We are so appreciative of these rockstar #NGSS teachers #cangss
"That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." - Neil Armstrong 👨🚀🌑
The @NASA & @K12FutureE Next Moon Step Challenge asks K-12 students to submit what their famous Moon-landing quote would be.
🗓️Deadline is July 21: https://t.co/0MFGwrI21A
#FridayReads 9 Black #chemists you should know about: These inventors, educators, & unsung heroes changed lives through their work in #chemistry. See @cenmag story at https://t.co/m52kCM6w4Z #BlackAndSTEM
My name is Winter. I have a PhD in evolutionary biology & have spent the last decade studying diversity in nature. One lesson learned? Science is better when perspectives are diverse. We need YOU. Your voice matters. #BlackInSTEM#LatinoInSTEM#BlackBirdersWeek#DiversityMatters
Look at a great example of #modelingscience with zoom outs to look at the invisible mechanisms beneath the surface. Students can create their own models as they figure out and make sense of #phenomena. No need to copy! Show students how to work like a scientist by doing #SEPs
New research in mice brings together gene therapy and nanotechnology to fight degenerative blindness. Read more in this #SciMagPerspective: ($) https://t.co/I1Ovj6jwLT
Share role models with students like @UCLA Dr. Jorge Torres. Dr. Torres teaches and serves as a guide and resource for countless students as a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. #DiversityinSTEM#STEMforAll
This month's #mentor spotlight is Associate Professor @UCLA Dr. Jorge Torres! Through the rest of June we’ll be sharing more about his #STEM story and thoughts on #mentorship.

I'm late to this party, but it is 🔥! A kid from L.A. followed his #BlackInNature and puppy dreams to being a @uwtacoma Prof in urban eco-evo. What's better: as a father, I get to share my love of nature with the little loves of my life. @BlackAFinSTEM#BlackAFinSTEM
When @Astro_Doug & @AstroBehnken return to 🌎, their spacecraft will parachute into the ocean. 🪂
Want to put your engineering design skills to the test with your own parachute landing? Take part in #NationalEggDay with this egg-cellent STEM activity.
