How do we teach students to think computationally? @Aratiatia1 shared a simple way to to deconstruct instructions to build a duck, thereby thinking algorithmically with simply problem solving, or “debugging.” 🦆 #professionaldevelopment #scienceedication

Some of our team joined a group student citizen scientists ‘into the field’ to observe some great #CitizenScience in action. What a great day for #science! #CitSci @ChristensonDi @marinemetre2

Richie tells us about his experiences teaching in and out of #lockdown and how he used #ocs to support student science learning about Mars, geysers, and digital capabilities using @Planet_Four.

A part of our team’s curiosity with #CitizenScience in primary #classrooms is how students and teachers develop #digital fluency, in using #OCS and more broadly as our world becomes ever more digital. We’re excited to have @Aratiatia1 on the team. Check out his online course 👇

Another #CitizenScience project from members of our team. Help kids Yrs5-10 scientifically understand #microbes and #disease with lessons, videos, games, activities. Can be for learning at home, or in the #classroom as self-paced flipped learning. #CitSci mattscience.thinkific.com

A new #CitizenScience project from members of our team! Students can work together on an NZ-wide experiment, learning how #germs spread and the importance of hand washing and cleaning surfaces by spreading glitter and growing mould on bread. #CitSci 🦠 bit.ly/2B1rilI

Thanks for the love @NZScienceLearn and right back at you! We hope other #teachers can make use of #CitizenScience in their #science programmes. Check out the links below! 😍🥰🤓🙌💻🧬👩🏻‍🏫
Fantastic news 🤩 The initial project led to our #CitizenScience section bit.ly/2IavlP8. Check out tips for helping #teachers to plan using in their #science programme bit.ly/2Xzsljj @waikato @VicUniWgtn @NZCER @Aratiatia1 @NZScienceTeachr
