Day 3 Science in the Rockies


All good things must come to an end… and so it is that the end of Science in the Rockies 2011 has arrived.  This morning was magnetic, electrifying, and a real shot in the arm!
I mean all of that very literally.  We took the Total challenge and found the iron.  Steve made us all Money Smoothies rich in iron 
(ok – so we didn’t all get to have one but we watched him do it). 

I learned that electric pickles are awesome; so I’ll be stopping by the grocery store before going to science camp this week.  All graffiti isn’t bad.  LED graffiti is cool. Having a game of tug-o-war at the family reunion will never be as entertaining as the potato gun fight at SITR11!!

If you don’t believe me, then you’ll just have to see it for yourself.  Given the opportunity, spending time at a Steve Spangler event will exceed your every expectation.  You walk away with knowledge, experience, and “the stuff” you need to “do science” with your students.  I’ve never seen a more professional, organized, capable group of presenters and I’ve been to more than my fair share of conferences in the past 13 years.

What was my primary take away from this conference?  It’s hard to pick just one but I suppose it would be this…
As I prepare to offer a science camp to my 4th & 5th grade students for the next 3 weeks I pledge to remember that when it comes to “doing science”, anything worth doing is worth OVERDOING!!!

Thanks a bunch Steve, Carly, Doug, Julie, and the Gang!!

    Heather - Thanks so much for your kind words. I'll share your posts with everyone next week. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and passion for making science fun for your kids at camp. Please send us pictures or video of you and your campers in action.

5 E Posters

I have been using the 5 E Lesson Plan model to teach science. (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate)  To help students understand their role and as a reminder to myself of my role as teacher in each phase, I have developed a set of posters.  You can grab your set from my website .  Click to get your 5 E Posters PDF file. These look really good printed on 8x10 glossy photo paper.

Science Essential Standard 4.E.2.3

NC Science Essential Standard 4.E.2.3  Give examples of how the surface of the earth changes due to slow processes such as erosion and weathering, and rapid processes such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. Open any science book and you'll find plenty of ideas for modeling erosion and weathering.  One of my favorite things to do is take students outside after a heavy rain and look for signs of erosion, weathering, and deposition. But, none of this makes the STEM and career connections I want to afford my students.     I specifically wanted to stay away from the typical, "let's make a volcano" that isn't really a volcano but more of a chemical reaction (vinegar/baking soda) experiment.  So I went looking for something specifically geared toward an interactive simulation of an earthquake. I found just what I was looking for (and then some) at Teach Engineering . I have a feeling I will be referencing this website a LOT!  They have ton...

NC Essential Standards for Science Lesson Plan Templates

In a recent post, I said that I was creating lesson plan templates for 1st through 5th grade. They are all finished.  You can grab a copy of the grade level you teach and spread the word to other North Carolina Teachers.  The templates are for the entire 2012-2013 school year.  They have the Essential Standard and Clarifying Objectives filled in, as well as Essential Questions. The rest of the template is blank for you to fill in as you see fit. If you use these, I would love for you to leave me a comment about them. Thanks! Click here to get to the templates.
