Today my chem Ss developed scientific models for 1 of my favorite anchoring events. I love the amount of “science talk” that goes on when Ss are curious about WHY things happen #chemchat #NGSSchat @HEHSHawks #Chemistry

@ashley_green2 @KristinGregory7 @HamikChem Fantastic! A clever way to include models and visualize the subatomic particles!

[Tanya Katovich Meador @tkatovich]

Ss don’t often “know what they know” until they say it out loud. This is why we practice the skill of scientific modeling in chemistry class #ngsschat ⁦@HEHSHawks⁩ #chemchat

[Tanya Katovich Meador @tkatovich]

Rule #1 of scientific modeling: All hands on deck! All lab partners are drawing and writing at the same time #ngsschat ⁦@HEHSHawks⁩ #chemchat

[Tanya Katovich Meador @tkatovich]

My favorite thing about developing scientific models is observing the level of communication between Ss. #ngsschat ⁦@HEHSHawks⁩ #chemchat

Ss need kinesthetic learning more than ever. So happy to see my chemistry Ss communicating and having fun this year #chemchat ⁦@HSDistrict211⁩ ⁦@HoffmanHS⁩

These 2 Ss crushed it as Mazemasters this week! #chemchat ⁦@HoffmanHS⁩

Do your students need a tutorial on protons, neutrons, and electrons? How about isotopes and ions? Check out my new chemistry lesson: #chemchat Subatomic Particles https://t.co/WXRQOmOxSV via @YouTube

Wanted Ss to analyze data so I recreated my Classification of Elements lab for remote learning. Asked Ss to analyze properties using 17-min video on physical properties of 12 elements & short videos for their chem properties in acid & CuCl2. All 25 videos on my YouTube channel.
