Tyler DeWitt: Hey science teachers -- make it fun

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
High school science teacher Tyler DeWitt was ecstatic about his new lesson plan on bacteria (how cool!) -- and devastated when his students hated it. The problem was the textbook: it was impossible to understand. He delivers a rousing call for science teachers to ditch the jargon and extreme precision, and instead make science sing through stories and demonstrations.

At the end of class, send out a picture that provides a clue about what you will be doing together the following day. For homework, invite the students to guess.

Anticipate Aloud

Have learners take turns and think aloud about their topic. Have other learners build on the thoughts by saying more things. Keep allowing other learners to think until an idea emerges that everyone connects to.

Start with a basic challenge, have students complete it , but then at the end throw them a curveball by adding or changing the complexity of the challenge.

Create a Web or App based countdown timer showing number of days/hours/minutes from current time to when an important event is scheduled to occur.

I use this for keeping students focused/notified of BIG Test dates coming up, Graduation date, birth dates, etc...

Include a "Coming Soon..." segment in classroom whereby you give audio/video/verbal "teasers" about work/activities coming up the next day, next week, next month, etc...

# data[].attributes.body
Discuss highs of the day/lesson and ways to improve

Maybe use A. J's Idea of turning projects and homework into some sort of quest game

We can visit Candace's school and see how it's done

Students will be required to use an online platform to receive the next portion of their assignment or.....

End homework assignments with a question for students to think about that will then begin discussion during morning meeting

# data[].attributes.body
Have some minutes to wonder about the topic or skill in question, then create a list of anticipatory questions about the topic. Exchange your list of questions with another team members' and answer the questions you have. Keep exchanging until you get your own list of questions.

make students create and add more questions in hw and bring homework for teacher to bediscusses in class

End the class with a wonder

No really. I can show you evidence with my magic Hooey Stick. If you disagree, then prove me wrong (with better evidence of course).

Adrienne - End class with a paper ball fight. After a 30 second paper ball fight have the students catch the paper balls and open them. That paper ball should be unraveled and reveal their homework for that night. Teacher, of course, provides paper balls and has 3-5 different homework assignments for that night so students are not completing the same objective. Or the paper balls can reveal how they have to share their homework, such as, tweet it, email it, draw it, record it, etc...

Fourth grade students were learning about the skill of observation and were observing the physical properties of calcium carbonate. They all made a hypothesis about what the substance was. They didn't want to leave without finding out who identified the substance correctly.

Have an acronym written on the board as students enter the classroom. For example, "aoag". I had this written on the board in huge letters when my algebra class entered. As they were doing their bell-ringer I heard them trying to pronounce and define the "word" aoag. Later in the period, they learned that AOAG is an acronym used for "any order, any grouping", a reference to the commutative & associative properties.
