How can we equip the next generation of physicists with the problem-solving skills that they will need to thrive? Join Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman for a seminar next Friday, October 27 with #SFUPhysics. ow.ly/yczV50PYOtM #physics #sfu #scied

Carl Wieman is a smiling, middle-aged man wearing glasses and a dark sport coat and light grey button-down shirt. He is standing in the foreground with a stone arch in the background

I've been wondering if we can make a regular (neuro) sciency movie night series at the department and have come to the sad conclusion that I do not have a long enough list of films that I like :(

So, what are your favorite (neuro) sciency films/documentaries?

The large meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs and messed with the whole earth for awhile actually hit essentially in the middle of both northern and southern hemispheres, right? Have we modeled what it would’ve been like if it only hit in one hemisphere? Would we be walking around with T Rex today? #scied #science

I just gave a talk about astronomy & outreach to a week-long summer school for high school students, and the coordinator has the *best* way to handle Q&A:
After your talk, you leave the room for 20-25 minutes. The students split into small groups and brainstorm all their questions, then they rank their questions and write them on big poster stickies. Then, you come back in the room, and each group takes turns asking you their questions. #summerSchool #iTeachPhysics #sciEd #STEMEd #astrodon

It's day 2 of the United States of Science!

Let's take a look at some states we can close out this morning. Remaining bubbles:
NV or OR: 3
AZ: 4
KS: 6
WA: 8

Those big states need help too 👀

$10 donations to @SkypeScientist fill bubbles:

The idea of the Wood Wide Web - that trees communicate with each other via a network of symbiotic fungi in their roots - has become increasingly popular over the last few years. But turns out it might be entirely false.

A fascinating read by some of the very people who helped spread that idea in the first place. Now this is science.

Hi everyone: We just published a NEW STEM TEACHING TOOL that shows how to promote the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through community-centered approaches to #SciEd and #NGSS.

The resource links to supporting frameworks and includes tons of practical guidance for supporting ecological, human & economic health. The #SDGs are centered on social and multispecies justice. You can promote global equity by teaching in support of these #GlobalGoals.

Hi all: I recently gave an overview presentation of our collection of educator learning resources on how to #TeachClimate. It includes dozens of resources that gather powerful approaches and tools from a broad variety of #ClimateJustice education projects. We are so grateful that they shared their work at a crucial moment of societal response. 🙏

Here are the links to the recording and slides…

Title: Highlighting Crosscutting Concepts in Science Learning

Description: The crosscutting concepts (CCC) are key to three-dimensional instruction, but educators often struggle to incorporate them into their classrooms. Our new STEM Teaching Tool, “Why and how should I use CCC to enhance my science instruction?” is specifically designed to help educators make learning about the CCC more explicit, expansive, and inclusive.

Using Nature Journaling to identify meaningful local phenomena and support the infinite range of student sensemaking

What Is The Issue?

Three-dimensional science learning centers on student sensemaking of phenomena. However, finding phenomena that are safe, accessible, culturally relevant, and grounded in the place where students live can be challenging for educators. Nature Journaling (NJ) can provide simple tools and strategies that educators can employ to encourage students’ investigations of local phenomena through deeper observations. In addition, helping students explore phenomena in local outdoor places leverages their interests and supports building relationships and awareness about community and neighborhoods.

WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU

Teachers should design and integrate nature journaling activities to enrich their existing curricula. It is vital that students have extended opportunities to connect with and make sense of natural settings outside of school.

District staff and PD Providers should develop partnerships with local parks, nature reserves, Tribal Nations, and nature areas and other community resources that afford nature journaling opportunities for students.

School leaders should recognize nature journaling experiences as valuable and core educational activities supporting student understanding of phenomena.Screenshot of the back page of the linked resource. The linked PDF has been designed to be accessible.

Things To Consider

• The terms Nature Journaling (NJ), science journaling, science sketching, and science notebooking are often used interchangeably, but each practice has a different structure and purpose. NJ focuses on recording experiences and observations about a place and/or phenomena through sketching, recording, quantifying, and writing. Students’ curiosity about phenomena and their creativity in expressing their observations and recording data about the phenomena drives the NJ process.

• NJ can be integrated into one lesson or can be used to support sustained learning about a place over an extended period of time. When students observe phenomena in a place over time, they can more easily observe patterns and dynamics, supporting the generation of causal questions. In addition to patterns, dynamics and causation, NJ can help students learn all crosscutting concepts, including systems and systems models.

• NJ can help students recognize the significant role nature plays in everyday lives and their awareness of local socioscientific issues, such as connectedness between nature and pandemics or ways nature affords happiness and well-being. It can deepen students’ affective connections with nature and grow aesthetic appreciation for nature, leading to awareness of and involvement in local environmental issues.
