I just finished up San Diego County Office of Education book club of Bryan A. 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.”

Thank you San Diego County Office of Education for the wonderful science units of study. They are exactly what we need in this moment and we are using them right now for middle school #Grateful John Spiegel SDHowe @cjcochrane21 #cangss

@cjcochrane21 San Diego County Office of Education SDHowe John Spiegel Thank you for posting these. I missed the last 2 so now I can still check them out! #cangss #sdcoescienceteamisawesome

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 Mystery Science! I used my inquiry board, a PowerPoint, science notebooks, a Padlet and a video. @cjcochrane21 Denise Finney John Spiegel
