Hi @neiltyson, my 7 year old has fallen in love with astronomy and just discovered black holes. He is curious what would happen if two black holes collided, but his science teacher parents don’t have a good answer on this one.

Any insights or resources you can suggest?

ICYMI: Exploring science teachers' efforts to frame phenomena in the community

Community-oriented framing is a pedagogical approach for organizing science instruction around local issues and helping students understand science as relevant to their community and themselves

What are actions a principal can take to support their school's progress toward three-dimensional standards like the NGSS?

Academic peer pressure arises early: Children as young as 7 years old “begin to connect asking for help w/ looking incompetent in front of others,” researchers concluded in a 2021 study.

But fear of looking dumb is often just half of a reticent student’s calculation.

“Many science classes rely on cookie-cutter science labs and rote memorization... but there’s a growing demand for science curricula to help students apply science in novel ways to solve challenging problems like pandemics or climate change.”

Researchers and educators from the @NSF-funded Investigations Project are exploring the role of uncertainty in motivating science investigation and learning.

The Science Task Prescreen and Screener build off the criteria in Category III of the EQuIP Rubric for Science to more clearly specify features for assessment tasks designed for three-dimensional standards.

A key shift in learning designed for today’s science standards is supporting students to explain phenomena and to design solutions to problems.

Data is critical to improvement but without a meaningful context it's difficult to use data to promote change. When we explain data with a compelling story that links to people's values and a sense of shared purpose, then things start to move..

Phenomena, problems, and classroom activities can be presented in many ways to authentically connect with students' lives.

These are some of the criteria to consider when evaluating materials for relevant and authentic science teaching and learning:

@RittaOnTwitta @georgiagov We are still without peaches…

Just arrived in @georgiagov and my kids are literally chanting “where are the peaches” from the back seat.

When students are making sense of phenomena or designing solutions to problems, students actually learn better!

It leads to stronger conceptual understandings of science content than what is demonstrated through more traditional, memorization-intensive approaches.
