Using videos of puzzling phenomena is one of my favorite ways to get kids thinking and wondering about science, but it can sometimes be difficult to keep up the excitement beyond this initial introduction. In this article, our team shares strategies we've developed to sustain students' initial interest and uncertainty about a phenomenon as they develop investigations that help answer their questions. I'm so lucky to have such fantastic co-authors-- including three teacher partners! #scienceeducation #scied #teachers #teaching #scienceteaching #scienceteachers #NGSS #NGSSphenomena #scienceandchildren #elementaryscience #elementaryeducation #elementaryed
New publication in Science & Children! We share strategies we used to support students to develop productive questions to anchor investigations into decomposition. Happy to share links to a free e-version if you message me.
