  1. This is my first year teaching science with the set up and equipment to do real labs. I’m working with 6th grade students, most of whom haven’t done labs before. I’d love to know more about how you manage labs. What size groups work best for you? Pairs? Teams of 4? How do you manage behavior? How do you get students to SLOW DOWN and follow the procedures carefully?

  3. I'd like to see STEAM activities & blog posts; so much is STEM-related, but our school incorporates art as well, hence STEAM!

    1. That's great to know. I am a big fan of letting students design their own foldables to organize information. That would be an easy way to incorporate art and science and have your students make a meaningful product! :)
