We kicked off our life science unit with the anchor phenomenon of Biosphere 2 with a See, Think, Wonder. Excited to start our unit with @MysterySci! I used my inquiry board, a PowerPoint, science notebooks, a Padlet and a video. @cjcochrane21 @DeniseFinney2 @sdngss

I just finished up @SanDiegoCOE book club of @Doc_B_Brown Science in the City. My commitment for this next year is to encourage teachers to use science in their virtual spaces because “science amazes...we have wonder on our side. It is the great equalizer.”
