Enjoying learning about the use of formative assessment, science phenomenon, and the pre-conception cycle to engage students in making meaning of science ideas related to our Earth, Moon and Sun. Thanks NASA EPDC !

Whoooweee what a great webinar with NASA EPDC LaTina Taylor Explore Our 🌎🌙☀️. So many STEM ideas and resources for our next unit in 4th! Thank u Ryan Foster for this great PD Dawn Sawyer @Em_Bunting Gwyneth Ryan VBSchools

As the students said, OMG! Zymoni is famous! She absolutely is! Thanks WTKR News 3 for shining the spotlight on our amazing classroom and school Bettie F Williams ES Lisa Riley Timothy Patrick Sullivan Dr. Trenice Durio Ryan Foster

So impressed by Zymoni! I’m sure NASA can use your brilliant idea for a greenhouse on the lunar habitat. Thanks Amy Keltner for empowering your learners with creative learning experiences like this!

Hey VBSchools Ts! Trying to spread the #DENLOVE this week by highlighting some of Discovery Education resources. 5th gr. check out the Speed of Sound exploration in techbook. Students gather data on changes in sound speed based on media #datatalk as an extension rb.gy/tbucop

Hey VBSchools 4th gr Ts! Spreading the #DENlove this week by highlighting some Discovery Education resources. Have you tried Where's the Shadow virtual lab? Engage Ss in reasoning and sense-making as they try to set the date to position the sun to hit the target. #seasons #earthstilt

Hey 4th grade Ts! Have your students ever wondered what is meant by the phrase "days getting longer"? Interesting phenomenon - explained by Casey Lehecka in her recent blog wavy.com/weather/what-t…

Hey 3rd grade Ts! Your students can make discoveries about relationships between populations and communities using the Parts of Ecosystems exploration in Discovery Education techbook. They can even gather and display data as evidence of relationships #DENlove #datascience

Watch him give the wrong answer and then work his way to 42. I find that giving students time to work out their own reasoning is so valuable. Take a look. listeningtolearn.com

3rd gr. Ts, what value could using wildlife webcams add to your Ss learning during the structures in nature unit? I spent a few mins observing this beautiful bald eagle in FL. this morning. I compared to this osprey nest in ME. Spanish moss vs. snow, predator-prey, adaptations...

TODAY! Join us for a professional learning session at 6PM EST with Robert Corbin PhD. We’ll explore classroom resources from the #STEMCareersCoalition that highlight the many benefits of diversity in STEM. bit.ly/2Z6jaJG

🔴 LIVE NOW: Our ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover rover has a brand new set of science instruments & the ability to “self-drive” on the Martian surface, but that’s not all! Join us now as we nerd out about the science aboard with a few #CountdownToMars mission experts: nasa.gov/live

Let the countdown begin!

Thank you Discovery Education for the opportunity to attend today's Diversity in STEM Discussion. Inspired by STEM Careers Coalition's initiatives to address the STEM workforce and inspiration gap by bridging industry and classrooms at unprecedented scale. stemcareerscoalition.org

The happy dance at the end 😂🕺🏾 Ryan Foster

We had a 3rd grade Nature Trail Exploration finding evidence to prove structure generalizations to be true with face to face and virtual Ss concurrently ⁦Mister Swoops⁩ #seatackdreamers ⁦VBCPS Office of Gifted Programs⁩ #StructuresinNature ⁦Ryan Foster⁩ 🍃 #NatureTrailSeatack 🌲

A great read for my math friends. "Analyzing worked examples" is something I'd love to try more often with students to support fluency building Julia Sutton

WHAT CAN'T YOU LIVE WITHOUT IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT? 🌳 This week's Morning Meeting Motivator has us SHARING our thoughts about how CHANGE can impact an ecosystem. Thanks Chelyse Stefanik Miller & Ryan Foster for this awesome science-themed MMM! 🙌bit.ly/MMMotivator2 🤩#ResponsiveVB
