New science song alert! Used some @BrunoMars for "Systems Funk" to teach the functions of human body systems. Enjoy! #ngsschat #scitlap #tlap @Milken @cultofpedagogy @ericcrouch @franziski123 @blamowilson

A3: Would second x1000 @johannabrown on local connections. Would love resources on how to make general phenomena specific to my kids and our community, because relevance is critical for deeper learning. #NGSSchat

[Dan Adler @MisterSci]

A2: What @TedWillard2061 said. I want students to be sensemaking and figuring it out bit by bit, while I get to slink around and ask fun questions. Relatedly, stoked to be implementing more @OpenSciEd next year. #NGSSchat

[Dan Adler @MisterSci]

A1: I use phenomena to anchor my units, to provide students with a mystery to solve over time, and to make my course founded in students investigating and driving learning via practices, rather than a set of facts to be memorized. #NGSSchat

Hi all! Dan from Lawrence, MA here, 6th grade science. #NGSSchat

I at once cannot believe that "race-norming" was a thing the NFL was doing ... and can yet completely believe that "race-norming" was a thing the NFL was doing.

[The Associated Press @AP]

The NFL says it will halt the use of “race-norming” — which assumed Black players started out with lower cognitive functioning — in a $1 billion settlement of brain injury claims. The practice had made it harder for Black players to qualify.
