Epic Day 1 of the 8th grade Science Storyline Summer Institute! As learners, teachers began to make sense of how a speaker works through dissecting a speaker, making a homemade speaker, and investigating magnets. So much more to come on Day 2! Stay tuned…Rutherford County Schools OpenSciEd

Day 2 of the 8th grade Science Storyline Summer Institute didn’t disappoint! Teachers analyzed and had rich conversations around elicit, probe, & challenge questions, and we figured out more science ideas to help make sense of our speaker phenomenon. Rutherford County Schools OpenSciEd

Day 3 we left with a cliffhanger…we are so close to making sense of how a speaker works! On top of content deepening, teacher learners are also experiencing high-leverage instructional strategies through the BSCS Science Learning STeLLA Framework. Rutherford County Schools
