A big part of science is being able to efficiently locate important information. 3rd graders practiced this skill and used the index in multiple books to match animal facts with their animals!

We had ROTATION come up two weeks in a row for 1st graders, both with exploring day-night cycles and then with positioning shapes while learning about symmetry. Spatial skills are an often overlooked area that are critical for science, engineering, and math!

Thanks ASML for helping us "STEMify" elementary classrooms!

Last week 2nd graders experimented to determine which materials absorbed or repelled water. This week they put that information to use with Resist Art!

It's been a great and busy day so far at the San Diego festival of science and engineering Generation STEAM | SDFSE with our shared booth with @EISsandiego. Lots of fun air activities! Come stop by, we are booth PA3 in the Power Alley.

Over the weekend, some of our PhenoVista employees volunteered at the San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering (Generation STEAM | SDFSE). Thank you to organizations like Science Delivered! and @EISsandiego for inspiring our next generation of STEM innovators!

The inaugural San Diego STEAM Educators conference was amazing to present at and attend. Can't wait until next year! @HandsOnTechEduc

For Earth week we used our microscopes to get a close up look of natural materials & learned about how glitter is a microplastic that can affect our oceans negatively if not biodegradable! Thank you Science Delivered! for microscopes! Bostonia Global Maestra Ramos @Danya_BGlobal

Join us and Aaron L the first three Saturdays in July at 2PM at the City Heights/Weingart Library for fun STEM activities! Thank you ASML for making this possible!

We've been quiet on social media but very busy in the classroom! We've been working on composing & decomposing shapes with K + 1st grade. We read "The Perfect Square" then the students saw what they could do with 1 or 2 squares!

We met Maestra Monroy years ago, her classroom is always amazing and filled with science and STEM materials, and now we are honored and lucky to have her on our board!

MadiSP (In my SUMMER era ☀️) On a side note, I just don’t think we do a lot of the “old” things with kids now. Used paint with my primary classes today and you would’ve thought they died and went to heaven. It was also the first time for my kindergartners to *ever* paint

Excellent article. Additionally, the "teach to the [literacy & math] test" approach has effectively removed science & SS from the curriculum, ironically also lowering students reading comprehension abilities.

Equity means teaching using techniques that are effective. Sometimes this means memorizing (with understanding), especially when it comes to math

Excited to be here today! Come on out!

The Barrio Logan Science & Art Expo was a fantastic time this saturday! We were impressed at how many students of all ages spent time methodically collecting and recording their data from the friction boards at our booth. Another excellent event! @UCSDCREATE beto vasquez
