I teach IB Chemistry and high school chemistry, and I'm always interested in new ways to get my students to interact with and explore the science around them.

Science = Art = Love this!!
IB Visual Arts students are taking advantage of this gorgeous winter sunlight to create cyanotypes. They are experimenting with time, movement, and acids and bases to alter their prints. #CHSArt #CHSHome #IBVisualArts #Experimentation @ib_chs

Love that we have such a great park system in Coppell! So many opportunities to bring the classroom outside! @CHSHome #NRPAGoldMedalFinalist

My favorite family tradition is our monthly meal with all our DFW cousins. If everyone’s there, that’s 6 households and 22 people, including 11 kids, one dog, and of course frequently the addition of visiting out-of-town kin #CHSHome

So many of the techniques we already use for informal formative assessments can also be used to support linguistic learning #CISDESLBIL

“Every time we ask students to respond to a question or perform a task and fail to hold them accountable for their response or performance, we send them a message: You are not expected to achieve.” pg 43, Sheltered Instruction in Texas, John Seidlitz #CISDESLBIL

Alonzo Yanes suffered burns over more than 30 percent of his body when the experiment at his New York high school erupted.

A2: I also really enjoy old or abandoned places - ruins, old cemeteries, etc, the silence and the sense of the past all around you #CHSHome

Thanks to @inaturalist, my daughter and niece are discovering just how many types of grasshoppers there are, and my niece, who has always been pretty much afraid of nature, held a tiny toad! (And yes, we washed our hands!)

A2: My favorite place is pretty fluid. Basically where my family is or where there’s quiet and a good book. Bonus if it’s in the country or near the ocean #CHSHome

A1: Susan Sheppard. I teach IB Chemistry and Honors Chemistry and I’m very excited for the start of a new year, even though it means my oldest baby is <gulp> a junior now! #CHSHome

Get them thinking and questioning and growing. Show them that science is a process and a way of thinking, not a book of facts. #passiontag #CISDLearns
