TinyTown Library: May 2014
http://tinytownlibrary.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 5, 2014. Starting a Science Club: Initial Supplies. Most of the materials used in our Science Clubs are readily available household items. However, in my initial preparation for our Science Clubs, I approached our Friends of the Library group to purchase a few supplies for the program. These are items that will be used in many different capacities, across the different groups. First up, Goggles. I got 10 of these, based on past attendance. If we need more, we'll order more. Science is my spec...

TinyTown Library: About the Library
http://tinytownlibrary.blogspot.com/p/about-library.html
As a small library, we are sometimes offered opportunities to participate in seminars or other events specially geared for small libraries. Or sometimes we'll do Google searches for topics involving small libraries. While reading or talking with others, we'll often come across lines like, "Our library is so small we only have one children's librarian.". Quips like those, while well-intended by their speakers, leave us chuckling. Our library is open 25 hours per week. So, we're small. Simple theme. Po...

TinyTown Library: Starting a Science Club: Initial Plan
http://tinytownlibrary.blogspot.com/2014/05/starting-science-club-initial-plan.html
Monday, May 5, 2014. Starting a Science Club: Initial Plan. Our library recently started a group of "Science Clubs" that meet monthly, March - June. Our motivation to start these groups came in many parts:. Science is my specialty, so it's actually been on our list of possible programming ideas for quite some time. Everyone is a little STEM-happy right now. The science programs we've run in the past (one-time deals) have been some of our best attended. Many of the ideas I use in the Science Clubs come fr...

http://blog.science-class.net/2015/08/teamwork.html
Musings and reflections of a middle school science teacher. Sunday, August 23, 2015. Students in my science classes work in teams. Although my students come to me familiar with the idea of "group work" they still need practice with the idea of working as a team. I have to teach what this looks like during the first week of school. There are a number of great teamwork lessons easily available on the web. I have used one called Marble Ramps. For the past few years. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). CSI S...

science-class.net blog: A new start
http://blog.science-class.net/2016/08/a-new-start.html
Musings and reflections of a middle school science teacher. Tuesday, August 9, 2016. One of the best things about teaching is the fresh start we get each year. No matter how good or not-so-good it was last year, it's all new again. Full of opportunities. We started back today; kids will be back on the 17th. Two of my goals for this year:. Try some different forms of formative assessment. I've fallen into a rut. I especially want to work on using exit tickets to inform my instruction. New Year - Finding n...

Musings and reflections of a middle school science teacher. Tuesday, December 29, 2015. Catching Up and Stars. We rounded out our investigation of the universe with a study of stars. My lessons and activities can be downloaded here. I'm not satisfied with this unit, and will be looking to beef it up next year; particularly the study of the a star life cycle. Something to do this summer! However, our construction of the H-R diagram really helps students how temperature, color, and size are related. The fi...
