We are building #winogradsky columns this Thursday with 30 elementary students! (See, we don’t only teach science to adults) This is a perfect #interactive resource to introduce to them, to expand the learning at home and inspire their parents to help them “dig” further. https://t.co/DnUef054uL

If the spherical objects in the right corner of Klimt's Danaë seem to you like mammalian embryos, that's because they are! Klimt was in close contact with researchers at the Vienna medical school and have seen a lot of histology. From the great Kandel's book The age of insight.

One of the ways you can integrate DCIs with the other dimensions in your classroom is through #phenomena. How might you use the #phenomena described here in a recent edition of the #NGSS NOW newsletter to connect to the DCIs in MS-PS1-2? https://t.co/OtM4g7dwoG
