Teaching 7th graders how to conduct science, or conducting science on 7th graders? A little of both in the pursuit of good teaching and growing good humans.

@maggieskinder #teacherfriends Thanks for the great starting point for bring anti-racism into the classroom-- so much to digest!

@NatDeeRu Yes- I can tell students about systemic inequities, but that is only new information for white students; they need those realizations, but delivery should be without collateral trauma for black students #TeacherFriends

@KweezleQueen I started with 13th, found it tragic and raw. Next was Just Mercy, which really drove the points home. Lead to very meaningful conversation with the spouse #TeacherFriends

Creepy crawlies became not so creepy crawly when we gave them a chance.

One way to encourage reading: put a live animal in front of students and tell them NOTHING about it.

[Sara Hill @hill_science]

Don't just hear about adaptations-- see them in action!

[Sara Hill @hill_science]

One of the experiences that propelled me into the field of science. Fascinating to see if this moment does the same for them!

Learn it different ways; sketch, discuss, listen, speak. @WagnerMS_GISD

CAT BEAR MITT. Learning to write in science using the same strategies and verbage as ELA.

Differentiating between asexual and sexual repro by "replicating" DNA. Mutations abound!
