Here is the template that students were using to offer peer feedback on models. We love to see how face-to-face tools pop up in practice. xitter.cf/PalmierisPeople/status…
Student-generated Gotta Have It List for final models using SBG "Mastery Mountain" numbers to grade! - goo.gl/eo1vRy @ASTbigideas
So, tomorrow I'm using lots of Back Pocket Questions designed to work on 4 ideas: density AND buoyancy AND weight AND displacement.
Teachers are now wondering if ice cubes work the same as icebergs and are curious about the kiddo's idea about "holding ice up"
Interviews with children in field placements raised the idea that the liquid water must be able to hold the ice "up" somehow.
Our first exploratory science talk brought up ideas about how the density of ice vs liquid water matters for floating. But no idea why.
Tomorrow in elementary teacher prep we're building initial models explaining why we think ice floats in water ... here's what we have so far
Love the emphasis on revision. That's one reason why we don't really think of student ideas as misconceptions but as sense-making over time. xitter.cf/RarigRMS/status/821788…

Giving such thoughtful feedback on our final science models! Gotta Have It Checklists are coming in handy! @ASTbigideas #greenbrier25
What questions are you asking about these athletes? What're kids interested in figuring out? We'd love to hear more @PalmierisPeople xitter.cf/PalmierisPeople/status…

Ambitious Science Teaching cookies from one of Mark Windschitl's students. You know who else would love some AST cookies? @SciMilo would!
Thanks for the great suggestion @SedateKohler! Tools for Ambitious Science Teaching (ambitiousscienceteaching.org) DOES need a twitter handle!
