Think MN winters are extreme? 🥶 PolarPASS lets students explore glaciers through 360° virtual environments and real GIS data from NSF polar research. Great for HS Earth science! 🧊

It's Spooky Science season! 🎃 I built a 6-slide Halloween slideshow with 5 hands-on experiments: pumpkin volcano, ghost balloon, monster slime, witch's brew, and floating ghosts. Low prep, 5th grade ready, and it gets kids talking instead of watching.

Abbott is celebrating $40 million for 411 Texas school systems. That is about $97,000 per system. You do not fix a teacher shortage or underfunded schools with a press release and couch-cushion money. Call it what it is: a photo op, not a plan. #txed #Teachers #ScienceEd

I turned circuits review into an escape room. My Circuit Detectives challenge gives 5th graders 4 circuit mysteries and one vault code to crack in 40-45 minutes. Low prep, STAAR-aligned, and it makes them think instead of memorize. ⚡🔐

If a parent built the science fair project, the kid learned nothing except that adults panic about grades. Messy, lopsided, and theirs beats perfect and borrowed every time. Let them own the flop too. #ScienceEd #HandsOnScience #txed

My 5th graders can look up any science fact in 10 seconds. What they can't look up is whether to believe it. School still tests the lookup and skips the judgment. Facts are cheap now. Knowing how to test one is the whole job, and it is a very different skill.

A loud science lab is not a class out of control. It is 25 5th graders noticing, arguing, and figuring things out out loud. Worry when the lab goes quiet. That usually means they stopped exploring and started complying. Noise can be evidence of learning.

My quietest 5th grader on paper can talk through a whole lab like a real scientist. If we only grade the worksheet, we miss the scientist entirely. Let them talk it out first. Science started as conversation, not fill in the blank.

The Orionids peak this week, but this shower makes you earn it. 🌠
The moon hogs the sky until about 3 AM Thursday, Oct 22. After it sets, look up until dawn: fast meteors from Halley's Comet debris, 10 to 20 an hour in dark skies. Set the alarm. Worth it.

A science demo where my 5th graders just watch me is not a lab. It is live TV with safety goggles. Kids remember what their hands did, not what my hands showed them. Let them touch it, test it, break it, fix it.

If your 5th grader is scared to make a prediction before the lab, we taught science backwards. A wrong prediction is not a wrong answer. It is data. The kids who guess boldly learn more than the kids who wait to copy the right one.

The US doesn't have a science problem. It has a priorities problem. We treat science like trivia, test it late, cut it first, then act stunned when adults can't tell evidence from a headline. Kids are born curious. We school it out of them. Not an accident.

The slow-motion meteor shower is here. The Draconids peak Oct 8 - 9 under a moonless sky. Only about 5 an hour, but they're famously slow and graceful, and best right after dark. Look north, be patient, thank Comet 21P for the dust.

My 5th graders walk in asking 'why' about everything. By spring, we're proud they can stop asking and start bubbling. Somewhere along the way, school trains the curiosity out of the scientist. The 'why' is the science, the rest is just paperwork.
