Ss creates slides, adds something that corrupts code - slides disappear - revision history shows error code. Work around found! Click present. Click three dots bottom left. Click view speaker notes. We were able to see all slides as picture previews! #googleslides #googlehelp

I had to share. The students designed their own experiments. They had to pick a toy, pick their variables, complete the experiment and tomorrow we analyze - not their results - we analyze their process. Good science starts with designing good processes. #myohioclassroom #science

Today, try saying these three things as much as possible to your Ss - Thank you for working so hard, thank you for trying your best, thank you for being here today. Feels so good to be #grateful #kind #welcoming

12 ounces of lead free food safe space just waiting to be filled. Daffodil or straw with salt on the rim - either way pop it in the dishwasher when you are done. #everythingisacup #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #pottery #homemade #sagerocky #drinks #madeinohio etsy.com/listing/786776982/o…

Investigating chemical weathering with steel wool and water. After Ss wanted to throw these out - nope in public ED we save everything - supplies, food, each other. #myohioclassroom #education #stem #Science #geology #makingdue #makeitwork #earthscience #reuserecycle

Looking for state bedrock maps. I found a list of links on the @USGS but a lot of the links were broken. If you have links to easily viewable or printable maps for MS Ss can you link them in the comments please? #earthscience #geologymaps #geology #maps #primarysources #education
This is the first year I have had tech in my room one to one everyday. The best thing is easy differentiation with different activities to support learner's where they are. The second best thing is access to the best data and data fed sources. @NOAA, IRIS, and more.
Data gathering as an exp. technique using data from NOAA, IRIS, and the USGS. Love our gov. sci. agencies, but your websites are a bit like finding the right book in a huge library - I did find so much good stuff on my search tho. #usgs #iris #noaa #STEM
Ss don't all have equal access to internet. We are 90% online virtual work, but in person learning. I say, if done with science and you have other HW, open that algebra and let me help you! #communityoflearners #makingitwork #edcommunity #21stcenturyclassroom #myohioclassroom

Anyone else seeing corrupted files when students turn in Google slides? My student showed me her screen and the slide was fine, but on my screen the file is wackadoo. Perhaps a pic file code not transfering cleanly during ownership flips? #googleslides #corruptedgoogleslidefiles
Puppy paws and love with enough room to write a name or message in silver sharpie. When you can not reach out and hug them, send them love through the mail. #puppylove #puppypaws #mothersdaygift #babyshowergift #quarantinegift #isolationgift #love etsy.com/listing/766907965/h…

1.Put a hole in the bottom of a plate. 2. Release a single serving cup of jello over the hole. 2. Use a medicine plunger with about an inch of chocolate syrup. 3. Put the plunger under the plate and through the hole. 4. Slowly extrude the syrup into the jello

Fissure eruptions sometimes occur as well. This is how volcanoes erupt and grow from the inside like inflating a balloon.

As an educator, learning is our buisness. It is imparative to continue our education & development to provide a rigorous and exciting learning enviornment. The science dept. has been at the NSTA conference and we look forward to seeing all the new ideas they bring back to BMS!
