Sometimes I ask my students “What questions do you have?” and it’s crickets ... but asking #questions is so important for #NGSS! Something happens by the time they get to high school to squash that curiosity ... so how do we bring it back? #NGSSchat

For the moments when love and kindness matter most.

Our NGSS standard asks us to create models. I am so proud of my 7th graders for creating their cell maps. They created their own location on our globe and each item added to their map is analogous to an organelle in the cell. #proudteacher #PutnamProud

Along the coast of Maine, there are at least 2,000 prehistoric shell middens. Citizen scientists are trying to document them before climate change and urban development erase them. https://t.co/Z1sajimUYT

I was a high school teacher at a school where hundreds of Salvadorian students were here under TPS. These are kids who have lived in the US since they were three or four years old & who are now being told to go back to a country they don’t know.

Most holiday lights go on sale after the holiday! Upgrade to #LED lights for next year! Lower energy bill, brighter light, & last longer. Check out pg. 25 to compare the cost of light w/ different types of bulbs - https://t.co/2pIJPERJFh

If you accumulate all the flora, fauna, and metal your true love gives you each day in the “Twelve Days of Christmas” song, you’ll own 12 Trees, 40 Gold Rings, 140 Humans, and 185 Birds of 6 different species.

This message is being heard loud and #NBCTStrong across the country!

A short thread to explain how dumb it is to drop climate change from our list of national security threats.

Last year, I visited Langley-Eustis, one of our key Air Force/Army facilities, to document how it's getting swallowed by the ocean.

Today I saw a rare visitor to West Virginia: a Snowy Owl!

I’ve said this before, but one of the only reasons I’m a writer is because I had a teacher in 3rd grade who looked at my poem about clouds & said “you can be a writer when you grow up.” It stayed w/me forever. Teachers, don’t underestimate what your words can do for your students

Are the ancient Hindu myths of a land bridge connecting India and Sri Lanka true? Scientific analysis suggests they are. #WhatonEarth
