@RegenerativeCo Hi there! I’d love to talk to someone at your company about your work with mangrove forests in El Delgadito. Unfortunately all your links in your website take me to LinkedIn! Is there a way that someone can DM me about using content for an elementary science curriculum? Thanks!

Huge hail in Shawnee, KS. A friend of mine David Caton just sent me this picture. I asked him to cut the hailstone in half. Some are near baseball size. Look at the layers in the one cut in half. It went up and down violently inside that thunderstorm several times!

Does anyone have any examples of erosion or deposition on their playgrounds or communities? If so, please consider sharing images with me! Thanks! @OpenSciEd #OER #NGSS

@GeoAbby Hi Abby! I LOVE this picture. Is there any chance that we could chat about using it in a science curriculum? Let me know. Thanks!

[Whitney Mills @stemwhitney]

@KyleHamstra Hi Kyle, these are awesome images! Can I talk to you about possibly using them in a curriculum? Thanks!

[Whitney Mills @stemwhitney]

@AmyDani40893214 @CCPSElemELA Hi Amy! Sorry to comment on a random post, but if you uploaded an erosion video to YouTube way back in August 2020, I’d love to chat about using it! Please DM me. I don’t see that I can send you a direct message on your page. Thanks!

Take a deep dive into the @OpenSciEd High School Physics course where students establish conventions for modeling forces and think about the connection between unbalanced forces, energy transfer, and motion. Learn more here: https://t.co/iVlGrmdfpL #NSTASpring24

I've been locked out of my twitter for almost a month and still can't access it on my phone since the update to X, but now I'm back! I'm so ready to catch up on the awesome science ed work being shared on this platform!

Get to see for yourself in this #NSTA23 KC session how crosscutting concepts can appear in student questions and how those questions are motivated in a lesson. https://t.co/JUTtLE5ufv @stemwhitney @mrsbioteacher @dcvoss1 @OpenSciEd #STEM #SciEd

Join @stemwhitney, @mrsbioteacher, @dcvoss1, and Diego Rojas-Perilla (@BSCSorg) as they consider how a Matter-Energy-Forces triangle can help students apply core principles of physical science across multiple domains. https://t.co/mFMaygyWWl #NSTA23 KC #STEM #SciEd

Join us and discover how the #OpenSciEd curriculum can help you tap into your students’ brilliance! 🤩 #OpenSciEdMS

This October, Tommy Clayton, and Whitney Mills will lead our Middle School Professional Learning Institute @NSTA! Attendees will,

✅ Discover strategies that empower students to ask questions, think critically, and actively participate in the scientific process.

✅ Get support and guidance to deliver engaging lessons that promote learning in the three dimensions (crosscutting concepts, science and engineering practices, and disciplinary core ideas).

✅ Explore instructional strategies that help you teach the first unit in the OpenSciEd middle school curriculum.

Piping plover chicks don’t follow the rules but we need you to! Some of the little chicks on the beach like to wander - A LOT. Please watch where you step, absolutely no dogs and kindly follow posted signs & temporary closures. Pass it on! Join us to #protecttheplovers! 🥰
