A five-year-old drops antacid tablets into a fish tank. Will your science students be able to figure out how to fix the water?

Here’s an example of a task that helps students become active participants in science. 🐟👇

Red white and green layered liquids in a beaker on a black table. A small cube wooden bead is floating on the surface and a piece of candy cane and a gold bell are on the bottom.

Students explored a holiday density lab yesterday. It always surprises me how something so easy creates wonder and questioning, especially when the confetti sunk to the water level! #edusky #iteachscience

How to Structure Successful Science Investigations High school students get the most out of lessons when they receive direct support along with consistent opportunities to explore concepts on their own.

3 months ago

Allowing students to take control of scientific investigations helps them feel like they are “doing” science, rather than science just being something that they learn about. 🧑‍🔬

Here are some ways to design projects that are truly student-led.

"Fictional texts humanize facts by helping students better understand what it would be like to be a mathematical genius, live through an historical moment, experience the impact of science in space, create a great work of art, or immerse oneself in a different culture." #edusky #iteachscience

Helping Students Look Beyond Grades With Visual Rubrics When students see their content mastery mapped out, they’re more likely to understand their proficiency—and take ownership of their progress.

A student had a question about clouds, which reminded me of this video I made a while ago.

It's an experiment I did to try to verify what the Earth Science textbook said - that droplets of water in a cloud can be a millionth the size of a raindrop.

Try it yourself! #EduSky #ITeachScience

A visual rubric designed as a spiderweb chart on a red background, showing eight categories for evaluating a science project: Introduction, Variables & Controls, Hypothesis, Methods, Data Collection, Graphing, C-E-R & Analysis, and Evaluation. Each category has four numbered levels, with certain numbers highlighted in blue to indicate scores. The right side displays a turquoise spiderweb plot connecting the scores across categories, illustrating performance levels. White icons next to each label represent the scientific process steps.

What’s a spiderweb rubric, and how can it help students see assessments as feedback, not final judgments? 🕸️ High school science teacher Eileen Ng explains—and shares an editable version you can use in your classroom: https://edut.to/42ppMnp

Wooden fence in the foreground, then a river of orange, yellow and white pumpkins extends to a white tend and metal structure in the background.

Hand with a grey glove holding a plastic weather sensor with an extended weather vane. On the wooden table there is a small screen displaying digital read outs.

We had a fantastic weekend with you all in Chilliwack! What is your favorite memory from Catalyst 2025?

A big thank you to GenomeBC for sponsoring our pre-conference social & to Vernier Canada for sponsoring our field trip to Greendale Farm and Corn Maze.

Small screen and sensor on a wooden table with flowers and mountains in the background.

Cob of corn slightly open and still on the stalk in a field.

Legs with muddy black rain pants and rain books stretched out in front of a fire in a steel drum.

Got to test out some of Vernier’s sensors at the corn maze today! Lovely fall day for sciencing and playing in the mud! #iteachscience
