We just published the #HTML5 version of Build a Molecule!!! 🧪⚛️🎇 Starting from atoms, see how many molecules you can build. Collect your molecules and view them in 3D. The playground screen supports more than 9000 different molecules! phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/…

Right now Ss are developing new models. We’re using these ⁦Ambitious Sci Teach⁩ back-pocket questions took to help us stay focused on supporting student #SenseMaking #ASTBookChat ⁦@NGSS_tweeps⁩ ⁦#NGSSchat⁩ ⁦Phenomena⁩

Excited to officially announce the launch of the registration for the #CANGSS Collaborative PL #1: Building Sensemaking Through Disciplinary Literacy. There are 4 unique strands and 3 VIRTUAL options to participate beginning this January! #NGSS #NGSSChat bit.ly/33JaQmh
