Is it a model if you can eat it? In 3D Sci, Ss do more than build models out of edible parts! Ss construct & use models to show relationships, develop explanations, & make predictions Paul Andersen mini-lessons help teachers start! thewonderofscience.com/mlsep2 #SciEdABC #NGSSchat

I’m thankful for teachers in Utah and everywhere today and am grateful for all the amazing things you do for your students. I hope today is a relaxing day for you because you deserve the rest. UtSTA CSSSupervisors Sydnee Dickson #uted

Teachers, we need YOUR input on the endorsement courses we offer! Visit bit.ly/UtSTASurvey to tell us what you want and need! #UtSciEd #scienceeducation #utahteacher #scienceteacher

Phenomena & problems drive student motivation & learning in 3D! Students seek to figure out how the natural world works & come up w/engineering solutions. Great examples at ngssphenomena.com & stemteachingtools.org/brief/28 What is your favorite source? STEM Teaching Tools TJ McKenna

So excited for this today! Going to be a lot of fun!

Excited to hear from Jaimi Butler share about the importance of Great Salt Lake and her science story at #UtahSTEMExpo22. Thank you to Beehive S&T Academy and all other participating schools and all the amazing teachers for supporting these projects!

This course will meet the new Utah Science Core (6-8) Endorsement Requirement for Three Dimensional Science and Engineering. Thank you UtSTA for your work preparing this.

Congrats to Jen Carver Hunter at Mt. View Elementary in Salt Lake City School District for being awarded PAEMST for elementary science. You ROCK Ms. Jen!!!

Excited to be back at the UtSTA Conference! And it’s so great to learn from Mike Heithaus and the joys and importance of science education. #UtSTA2022

It’s wonderful hearing from Mike Heithaus and the work of a marine biologist. BEST is how he is describing the importance of phenomenon-based and 3D Science learning without using the “lingo”. It’s a testament to how our goals for kids are related to real science!!! #UtSTA2022

Step 0 for effective science instruction and discourse: Help kids feel safe to make a prediction and feel they don’t need to right on their first attempt Mike Heithaus #UtSTA2022 #UtSciEd

Did you know that picture books are useful for teaching science to all ages? Kiss the Book shared with us at #UtSTA2022 the ways that students of all ages can effectively obtain, evaluate, and communicate information with picture books. kissthebook.org

Earlier this week students were recognized at a drive through banquet at the District office for being winners of the Region 7 PTA Reflections Contest. Their entries will now move on to the state level of competition. Congratulations!

This month's column. I got to pull out old physics books to make the case that science teaching changes for lots of reasons, not just the science of the time. standard.net/opinion/guest-…

Due to the continued snow, all Tooele County School District schools will have a virtual learning day again on Thursday, February 23. This will give our amazing crews time to remove the snow and make sure schools are safe for busses, students, parents, faculty, and staff.

It’s fun to watch @haschweingruber lead CSSSupervisors like a conductor as we work together to find what is next for the group. Look at these pictures! #csss2023
