  • I would like to read about chemistry, physics, and biology. I would also like to learn who to increase science literacy and writing.

  • I would like to read about Earth Science topics. I would also like to learn about transitions in the classroom from teacher led to student led discussion/activities.

  • I would love to see easy-to-understand information about photosynthesis and cellular respiration to use with my special education low-level-readers students.

    • I would like to see some ideas for incorporating google chrome books in the middle school science classroom.

  • I am interested in creating digital notebooks with my students. Any information/tools for this would be GREAT!!!

  • Would love to know how students can have fun during labs, but also learn! I’m so tired of hearing “I’m having fun in science, but it’s not like we’re learning anything!”

  • I would like to read about STEM projects I could use with my Afterschool STEM group 🙂

  • Thank you for putting together the raffle. I also would like to learn more about literacy in chemistry and physics. We are asked to do more CERs in our classroom due to NGSS so any support in creating writing prompts, rubrics, etc with be very helpful.

  • Hi’ I’d love to hear more about how to use task cards! I’ve been looking at purchasing and I’d love to see how to use them

  • I am interested in reading more about PBL lessons for life sciences.

  • I would love to see more information/activities about differentiating, especially with Earth Science. I have a Team Taught class this year and differentiating is going to be essential (I teach 6th grade Earth Science).

  • I really am enjoying your writing style! Your blog post about anchor charts was so helpful since most articles about them focus on grade school. Using them as opener/exit tickets and bathroom passes is fantastic. I hadn’t considered that most of my simpler PBL assessments are essentially an anchor chart.

  • I would like to read more about differentiation as well as modifications during labs.

  • This year my focus is on incorporating standards based grading in the middle school and high school level. So any insight into that that would be great! You guys make amazing stuff!!!

  • I would love to see more ideas on incorporating inquiry with your resources.

  • Possible blog idea, How to organize streamline interactive notebooks and science stations.

  • I would like to read more about differentiation in Biology. I understand what it is and how to incorporate it and I do it in class but it would be nice to find an easier way to do things.

  • Thank you for sharing your ideas and resources! I’d love to see resources for differentiation, particularly gifted learners!

  • Love higher level Biology and Chemistry ideas. Thanks for the chance.

  • I would use and like anything that would help support my Secondary Special Education students in Chemistry, Biology, Life Science, and Environmental Science. Thanks

  • Hi! Thanks for the chance to share what I would like to see more of! I am looking for more biology, AP biology activities and also using chromebooks and 1:1 in the science classroom.

  • Read about motivating the most reluctant students. Growth mindset in science

  • I’m interested in teaching Freshman Biology from a Human Anatomy perspective.

  • I want to read about classroom organization for multiple preps. I feel lost in all the paper and supplies

  • Thank you for the contest! I would like to have more resources on chemistry.

  • I am new to secondary science. I struggle most with finding engaging ways to teach Earth science.

  • Thank you for sharing all your amazing resources. Having access to them has made me a better teacher and allowed my students to learn in an exciting and engaging manner.

  • inquiry learning with cooperative group stations

  • I would like to see some resources on Aquatic Science and how to use interactive notebooks.

  • Wondering if you have any insights regarding Claim/Evidence/Reasoning to improve writing in science.

  • I would like to see more Around the room Circuits! The kids love them and they make a great review for all topics.

  • I would love to see anything related to Physics. It is my “weakness” in the Science classroom:)

  • I would also like to learn who to increase science literacy and writing.

  • I would like to hear more about interactive notebooks.

  • I would love to read abut how to get my 7th graders to Elaborate more on the information we learn in class.

  • Thanks for being a part of the contest! I follow you on Pinterest, and love your lessons!!!

  • I would love to see a blog post about google classroom and other google apps for educators

  • I would like to see more information on diferentiation at middle school level in earth science and biology topics.

  • How do you handle homework and test retakes?

  • I am interested in learning more about interactive science notebooks.

  • I really like your layers of the earth model activity.
    Hoping you make more activities like that.

  • I would like to see more physical science inb pages

  • Standards based grading in science classes with NGSS…. more on the basis learning targets.

  • If there were some articles about Standards based grading in science classes with regards to NGSS…. more on the basis learning targets.

  • Would love to see/read about engaging task cards that kids look forward to doing.

  • I would like to read about how help students grasp the chemistry objectives.

  • I would like to read incorporating activities that relate to the new Oklahoma Academic Standards.

  • Love to learn more about project based learning!

  • I would like more physical science content and use of chromebooks in middle school. Thanks!

  • Vocabulary and digital notebooks are two areas I would love to see.

  • I would like to hear about using the workshop model in middle school.

  • Chromebook based instruction for middle school classrooms

  • I would love to read about homework. I am new to teaching science and your articles and resources have been truly helpful and enjoyable. I have heard teachers on both ends of the spectrum and I would love some insight on homework or no-homework in middle school science.

    Thank you, and good luck to me!

  • I teach adult education. My students are 16 – 70+ years of age, and literacy to college prep academic levels. I started using interactive notebooks several years ago. I am interested in exploring project-based learning with my diverse learners.

  • I’d like to read about strategies to help students learn difficult topics. For example I use IPMAT and RALPH for the phases of mitosis they line up beside each other and “ralph” gives clues to what occurs in the phase
    I=R= rest and replicate
    P=A = appear (chromosomes)
    M=L = line up
    A = P = pull apart
    T = T = half and hide

    Those types of things help students remember and I’d love more tips like that that I am not already aware of.

  • I would like to read about strategies for time management in lab activity.

  • I would love to see interesting and innovative ways to use interactive notebooks as part of Science Lab activities.
