Classroom resources for chemistry topics that are searchable by topic, subtopic, and type of resource. Under the Multimedia header, there are simulations, animations, videos, and series. Many of the animations and videos did not have sound which allows for students to add their own commentary.  ]]> 2020-11-02 21:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884217886 brittanybryan https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884226792 Science resources - environmental (and biology) focused. There are unit and lesson plans available for teachers to access. In addition, there are implementation strategies for teaching techniques like brainstormings, making comparisons, and constructing explanations. ]]> 2020-11-02 21:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884226792 brittanybryan https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884227958 HIGHLY SUGGEST!
Note #1: Limited to middle school (6th - 8th grade) level. 
OpenSciEd has done a wonderful job with creating unit lessons aligned to NGSS with student and teacher resources. Even though they are focused on 6-8th grade, the approach is laid out in detail including when to incorporate models, when to revise them based on new information, and how to connect phenomenon to content. 
P.S. I attended an NSTA workshop that demonstrated how to implement NGSS lessons in a class by using an OpenSciEd unit. I still use this resource as a guide for planning my own lessons.]]> 2020-11-02 21:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884227958 brittanybryan https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884255081 NGSS-aligned phenomenon database that can be searched by DCI, grade level, and resource type. Some only include the phenomenon; however, others include suggestions for classroom use. This is not a simply lesson planning site, but there are some great ideas for phenomenon. ]]> 2020-11-02 22:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884255081 brittanybryan https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884264251 Resource for creating cohesive storylines to better design NGSS-aligned lessons. Teacher tips for planning storylines and authentically implementing NGSS lessons in your classroom.]]> 2020-11-02 22:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884264251 brittanybryan https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884274629 HIGHLY SUGGEST!
Note: Great option for asynchronous learning!
Choose your DCI, then S&EP and CCC to find interactive resources or lesson plans that align with 3D learning. Many of the resources lead to complete lessons that resemble WebQuests with questions and various interactive pieces along the way. ]]> 2020-11-02 22:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884274629 brittanybryan https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884293347 Unit and activity planning ideas that incorporate interactive lessons and modeling to introduce a phenomenon, provide independent learning opportunities, and simulation real-world phenomenon. Organized into 5 topics: Science thinking, Units of measure, Energy, Life science, and Matter. Each topic has units and activities associated with it. ]]> 2020-11-02 22:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884293347 brittanybryan https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884305960 #1 - This would be a great resource for when I come across a website or other resource that will be useful in the future and I don't want to forget to come back to it. There have been countless times when I find an amazing resource and then forget about it by the time I get to that unit because it gets lost in the shuffle!

#2 - This type of collaborative space is perfect (and seems user friendly) for sharing ideas with my co-teacher. Hybrid and virtual learning has really put a strain on our time to prep and plan together. This would be a great place to quickly and efficiently share resources with short description of why/how we could use each one in our classroom. 

#3 - Giving students the ability to share resources they come across is empowering and includes them in their own learning experience. I think it would be a great exercise in searching for information, but also reviewing the material to make sure it is valid to share with the class. Whether this is part of a class activity or as a project where individuals/small groups are teaching the rest of the class, this platform would be great for student input. ]]> 2020-11-02 22:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/884305960 brittanybryan https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/891416314 Note: This is a specific lesson that incorporates artistic components.
This AACT lesson explores the visualization of elements, compounds, and mixtures. Students then apply their understanding by generating their own examples. This is a great lesson to build vocabulary using art strategies. ]]> 2020-11-04 19:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/891416314 brittanybryan https://padlet.com/brittanybryan/hw5frvbryf9dfnw6/wish/906906140 Karen Randazzo has created lessons that incorporate phenomenon and modeling.

1. Talk to students about what a model is -- explanatory models.
2. Include observable and unobservable.
3. Start with what you know.
4. Include zoom-in bubbles to focus in on specific parts of a model. Super helpful in chemistry!
5. Work in a sequence of events.
