  1. Chemistry teachers, have you ever tried teaching chemistry with film?

    Our free curriculum guide for National Geographic docuseries One Strange Rock, about the history of Earth from a planetary perspective, includes three lessons that are great for chemistry classes:

    - Lesson 4: Mighty Microbes (Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry)
    - Lesson 5: The History of Life (History, Geology, Biology, Chemistry)
    - Lesson 8: The Air We Breathe (Chemistry, Biology, Earth Science, Social Studies)

    If you'd like to boost student engagement in STEM classes with film — and/or give yourself an easy teaching day — we warmly recommend this resource to STEM teachers.

    journeysinfilm.org/product/one

    PS As you can see, the lessons span the STEM curriculum. Share this with your science teacher colleagues!

  3. In developing AIs (artificial intelligences) there’s no guarantee that they will think like we do. We need to ask, what possible type of minds could AIs have? Students are interested in such questions!

  7. What's a #neuron, how do nerves transmit signals? We can teach fully on-level high school science through creating easy-to-make yet anatomically correct models out of candy. This isn't dumbing science down; this is using all of our senses to better connect with the material: The anatomically correct candy neuron

  9. Can we do a real high school level #genetics lab using only #LEGOs? Well, yes we can! Here is the info & lab. Honors students loved it, and this was originally designed from the ground up for our #SPED students.

  13. I'm a believer in reversing the traditional vector of IEPs, scaffolding & differentiation - by that I mean, once one makes any IEP adaptations, then why not then fold those adaptations back into the general class, whenever possible?
    Much of what I originally made for students with IEPs became sought after by all my other students, and then students of other teachers, from the Honors science classes (and now from other schools.)

  15. About physical changes and chemical changes - these are important ideas for high school science. But consider this - is cutting nylon a physical or a chemical change? That's the kind of question which lets us really understand what this issue is all about! :-)

  34. Biology teachers - did you notice that NGSS ignores classification and taxonomy? A serious problem since, as Theodosius Dobzhansky noted, "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution." So how do we justify to a parent or administrator us taking the time to teach about this? See the learning standards at the end of this resource -
