Students need to be involved in the learning process. Sitting passively wont allow students to active their higher order thinking skills. Students who participate and engage in their own learning will be able to analyze, critic and evaluate new information to gain a deeper understanding of the world around them. My job as an educator is to spark wonder and inspire students natural curiosity. Attached is a video from my student teaching where kids completed the Milk in Motion experiment.

AIMs is a non-profit organization that began in 1980. They work to provide resources for teachers to teach science in a more hands-on, engaging way. We talked a lot about the AIMs model this year and their website has many helpful resources for teachers. Here is a link to their website:https://www.aimsedu.org/
I have also attached an article about the AIMS Model of Learning.

Here is a link to Dan Meyer`'s Google Doc page and specifically my favorite the Barbie and Ken leap of faith. He gets kids actively involved in math investigations through Three Act Math. Kids watch a video and use math to make sense of what is happening. A great opener for math class and a fun way to have kids see math in the real world.

Dan Meyer asked: How many rubber bands will give Ken a safe but thrilling ride?? What is the first question that comes to your mind?

Here is a great article found by the lovely Jenn Houge that discusses how you can integrate curriculum with gardening. They list all different subjects and how they can connect with what is happening in the garden.

A great video presented in class by Dr. Roddy. Sylvia displays the information in a funny and kid friendly way. This is helpful to get kids thinking about circuits in a very hands on, tactile and creative way. Below is a link to the video and at the bottom of this post is a video of Megan B., Lillian and I making our own circuit.
