Reflect: How comfortable are you with the Science Fusion textbook? by Monica Hernandez https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg Add one success and one challenge that you have had in using the Science Fusion textbook en-us 2022-01-12 19:45:52 UTC 2025-10-01 21:26:42 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9d0.png I've had success with the virtual lessons. But we do have to pick and choose the lessons that align. https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2024392371 2022-02-01 22:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2024392371 I haven't been able to share a direct link to the virtual lessons with my grade level. https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2024392932 2022-02-01 22:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2024392932 I have used Fusion many times, but I find that it lacks substance and does not follow our TEKS specificity at times. https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2038993199 2022-02-09 22:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2038993199 I have used the book few times and find STEMscopes has more engaging activities for students however the book is good for vocabulary. https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039013540 2022-02-09 22:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039013540 I love the open ended questions, visuals and information the textbook shares. So far the activities align and they are short and to the point https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039016079 2022-02-09 22:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039016079 We integrate it into our ELAR lessons. We identify text features, use text evidence to answer questions, and ask questions before, during and after reading. We use it to open our lesson and introduce vocabulary as well. https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039016088 2022-02-09 22:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039016088 + https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039016131 I use it all the time. I like how we can teach non-fiction text features along with science. I also use the virtual lessons and the flipcharts some times.]]> 2022-02-09 22:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039016131 I only sparingly use the textbook. Mostly stick with STEMscopes. I do like using the virtual lessons and virtual labs. https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039016138 2022-02-09 22:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039016138 https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039016858 We have success with virtual lessons. We have to be careful which lessons we use. ]]> 2022-02-09 22:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039016858 - https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039017255 Some of the content is not fully aligned to the TEKs.]]> 2022-02-09 22:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039017255 We've been integrating the Science Fusion as part of our lesson plans, usually to read parts of the unit together and use the questions for understanding for some but not all topics. https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039017391 2022-02-09 22:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039017391 i do use Science Fusion textbooks often, i do have to pick and choose certain chapters to use based on the information given, but i match it with STEMscopes. I do like the examples and prompt questions that the book does have. https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039017569 2022-02-09 22:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039017569 Science https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039017740 I use a combination of the online lessons in Fusion, the paper and pencil and some labs from STEMScopes.]]> 2022-02-09 22:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039017740 The main challenge i have is that i do have to skip certain pages because its not aligned to what we are learning. https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039018574 2022-02-09 22:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039018574 I like the illustrations/ pictures and short lesssons. https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039021077 I]]> 2022-02-09 22:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/monicabenari13/o6tolx6a3wlxsrtg/wish/2039021077
