Here’s an example of a smart policy that gets rid of unnecessary college degree requirements and reduces barriers to good paying jobs. I hope other states follow suit! https://t.co/ik8SOeoMem

As the seasons change, so too do the thrushes of the bay! Here’s how to use songbirds as a (sort of) calendar. Another expertly illustrated Naturalist Notebook by John Muir Laws.

What is making the balloons pop?!? Light?!? Heat?!? Why doesn’t it work on the white balloon?!? What are two possible scientific explanations for how the blue balloon pops while INSIDE the white one?!? 🤔 #ngss #ngsschat #science

Round Four: Shark or no shark?

[G M Masum Billah @guitarfishmasum]

It’s #FlatSharkSunday. So many juvenile hammerhead sharks & guitarfishes being landed each day. All are protected under wildlife Act & need proper monitor in the landing sites. How can we think sustainable fisheries without sharks. Heathy ocean means healthy sharks populations.

[The Marine Mammal Center @TMMC]

Suns out, buns out ☀️😂 Share space safely by staying at least 50ft from wildlife, more if they react to you (i.e. lift their head and look around) ☎️ Call our 24-hour hotline at 415-289-SEAL (7325) to report a #MarineMammal in distress. RT to spread the word! #KeepWildlifeWild

Had so much fun making a Halloween stations for exploring the properties of matter in #1stgrade #science this week. #oobleck #gloop #slime and melting icy bug hands to change the #phasesofmatter. So much fun @HillbrookSchool

Reinforcing our learning about plant parts this week in Science by making #LeafMan by @lois_ehlert after a long walk across our campus collecting Fall's bounty. #Kindergarten @HillbrookSchool #elementaryscience

No Bones Day

[Lara Blom @kidletscience]

Using #sciencetools @HillbrookSchool today in #1stGrade #science and what fun we had. We just can't get enough! Stations: Practicing pouring between two vessels; Droppers, flasks and funnels; Magnifying lenses of every sort; Microscopes galore!

[Lara Blom @kidletscience]

@MontereyAq Okay. Twist my eight arms.

[Lara Blom @kidletscience]

@eh48 @eh48 that is stunning. If I could just draw like that! Wow!

[Lara Blom @kidletscience]

@burns361 I love these books I'm curious how you utilized them with your students!

[Lara Blom @kidletscience]

@eh48 Stunning!
