Last day of the conference in the Saturday workshops😃🙌🏼 I adore these folks I have the privilege of working alongside on the TSTA Board! Until next time at our 50th Anniversary, my friends!🧬🦠🧲💡🩻⚙️ @TnSTA #tstacon2024 #Science #STEM #scienceeducation #sciencenews @elonmusk

Last day of the TSTA Annual Fall Conference in our Saturday workshops😃🙌🏼 The K-5 science standards shift with a focus on the DCIs, CCC, & SEPs was excellent!🧬🦠🩻⚙️🧲💡 @TnSTA #TSTACon2024 #Science #educators #STEM #sciencenews #scienceteacers #explorescience #teach @elonmusk

Our TSTA Fall Conference Friday sessions and exhibition hall with science and STEM education vendors galore was fantastic today! I loved seeing SO many science educators from all over the state having fun & making connections! @TnSTA #tstacon2024 #Science #STEM #scienceeducation

Our big TSTA Passport Door Prize Drawing for attendees was this afternoon! SO many of our amazing vendors donated loads of amazing prizes & and we could t thank them enough for being there & for their door prize donations! THANK YOU!! @TnSTA #tstacon2024 #Science #STEMeducation

What an excellent turnout on our first day of the 2024 TSTA Fall Conference!!! I can’t wait for tomorrow!!😃🧬🦠🩻 @TnSTA #tstacon2024 @pascoscientific @conservations @SavvasLearning #Science #stem #scienceteacher #handsonscience #tnscience #scienceeducation #sciencenews #stemed

🧬Tennessee Science Teacher Association annual Fall conference is underway!! Thank you to all of our amazing vendors & presenters already set up & speaking! @TnSTA @TNSELA_Leads @McGrawHillK12 @AmericanBookCo @KendallHuntK12 #Science #educators #STEM #scienceteachers #tnscience

TN Science Teachers Association’s annual Fall Conference is coming up!! Register to attend, present, or be a vendor in our large Exhibit Hall on https://t.co/fpbrAi83Wh now!!😃#TSTACon2024 #STEM #Science #STEAM #scienceteachers #STEMteachers #tennesseescience #ilovescience

On a break during state testing, we read about Nikola Tesla who noticed geese flying in formation. This led to a discussion about streamlined forms of transportation designed after things in nature for maximum speed, which led to making paper airplanes! #Speed #energy #science ✈️

The KCS Science Dept. Chairs got to meet at the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame for our monthly meeting. What a neat place to meet for “March Madness”! What does teaching science NOW look like compared to when you began teaching?😮🙌🏼🤓 OH, the advancements! @KCSScience #Science

As my 4th grade Ss discussed instances where objects SEEM to be in constant motion but have a transfer of energy, one Ss said, “But if everything is made of atoms, which are constantly moving, does potential energy really exist?”🤓❤️ #CriticalThinking @racheljcox87 @KCSScience

In one of my 4th grade science classes, one of my SS asked, “Wait🤔…how does the Sun gets its energy if energy can’t be created or destroyed?”🤓🙌🏼❤️I LOVE when my kids think critically!! I talked with him later about hydrogen. @KCSScience @racheljcox87 #science #energy #grade4

Students explored why the Sun appears to rise, set, & move across the sky, as well as how shadows shrink, stretch, & move throughout the day.☀️ #Science @hardinvalleyes #Earth #sun #shadows #rotation #light #Students #4thgradescience #handsonscience #earthandspace #scienceisfun

So cool! I want to do this with my students!😃🙌🏼

My math intervention group did a review today to first to find perimeter of shapes they created using Blockus, then they chose 2 of those measurements to practice multiplication using area models. We also used the board to review arrays.😃 @BLOKUS_MATTEL #math @hardinvalleyes

Before my science classes investigate shadows, I’m going to show them this photo-art piece and ask them to explain what is wrong with it. @KnoxSchools @hardinvalleyes @KCSScience #Shadow #science #earth #light #art #photoart #sun #shadows #whatswrong @OfficialNGSS #phenomenon

Our Science Department is the BEST! They are always going above and beyond to make sure we feel valued and appreciated!❤️😊🧬🎅🏽 @KCSScience @racheljcox87 @KnoxSchools @hardinvalleyes #science #MerryChristmas #elementaryscience #thooughtful #TisTheSeason

Yesterday after school, our Student Council members went caroling at two of our local assisted living homes. It was magical to watch all the smiles our kiddos put on the faces of those we sang for!🎅🏽 @hardinvalleyes #studentcouncil #MerryChristmas #SpreadJoy #caroling #community

Ss worked in groups today to solve multi-step word problems & write complex equations in order to solve for unknown variables. They provided feedback to one another & used the IFD to gauge their level of mastery. #math @hardinvalleyes @KCSMathematics #Students #academicfeedback

What can a fossil’s structure tell us about what kind of organism it was & in which environment it may have once lived? Students examined fossils this week & gave evidence to support their claims.🔎📝 @hardinvalleyes @KnoxSchools #FossilFriday #fossils #science #handsonlearning
