Summarization
Super excited to be back at @NSTA, an organization that encourages learning and exploration of scientific topics. There was discussion among educators and politicians regarding current controversial issues. There is an article that helps evaluate claims online. A physics project connected to Force and Motion is needed. Educators are encouraged to share stories with other organizations. Live Science in action is encouraged and students are motivated to learn and explore science by experimenting. It is important for students to understand scientific evidence behind scientific theories. Educators had a 3-day virtual workshop. They also wrote an article about a phenomenon for students to explain. Also, they suggested teaming up with the NBA to show how Science and the NBA go together. Private schools are recommended to hire government teachers. The food chain is explained in a creative way. Organizations seek to advance the critical basics for students. Instead of “I believe", it is important to say “the evidence supports” when discussing scientific subjects. A blog post has been made about making thinking visible. Lastly, there is a special edition of The Science Teacher on immunology and appreciation for a useful article.

1625692730184671234 | Anyone have any ideas for an interesting physics based project centered around Force and Motion that would be an alternative to the Egg Drop? Eggs are eggspenive (sorry for trying to be funny) at the moment. Trying to get out ahead of this one. @NSTA @OfficialNGSS #ngsschat | 10 |

1626301947396427778 | That why it is important for students to become familiar with the scientific #evidence in support of scientific theories.
