Our Human Impacts Unit covering MS-ESS3-3 and MS-ESS-5 begins with this Prince Ea Video. Students are asking questions about the validity of his claims and are already suggesting data to analyze to determine if his statements are accurate! #NGSS #NextGenerationTeachers #NewUnitLaunch #DrivingQuestion #Phenomenon #NGSSPhenomena

We have finished our first rounds of pilots for Weather Forecasting and Black-Footed Ferret units covering weather and climate dynamics, heat transfer, ecology, and human impacts topics. Rough draft materials coming soon! #NGSS #NextGenerationTeachers #Storylines

Exciting day at Rocky Mountain National Arsenal! Filming the launch for our next storyline. #NGSS #Nextgenerationteachers

It's been a rainy week and 6th graders are worried Friday's picnic celebration will be rained out but the weather person says all clear and sunny. Students are wondering: Can we trust the weather report? How does the weather person predict future weather?

We worked all summer to create a plan for design and implementation of our storyline vision and can't wait to pilot our units with students! Here we go with Ice Packs and Weather Forecasts! #NGSS #NextGenerationTeachers
