Today's high point in my chemistry class: I am teaching Atomic theory and structure. I have my students look at their periodic table and I walk through the information listed for each element. At this point I talk about a lot of big ideas that are related as an prelude to where we are headed. One student told me that she took chemistry last year, and in 10 minute I was able to connect all of the pieces that never made any sense to her. Her 'aha's moment was like candy to me.

Hi Fishes,
I have total 2 years of experience as a ServiceNow Developer. I am planning to switch from Accenture to other organization but I am not sure which offer should I take?

Infosys Or Wipro - having the same offer around 12 lpa

Which of the above organization will be a better for learning and growing opportunity as a ServiceNow Developer? Which one of the above is better?

How much hike can I expect if I shift to senior recruiter profile in a big organization? My current CTC is 4.8
I am expecting somewhere around 10 lpa, is it possible?

How far in advance of when you want to leave should you start talking to recruiters?

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.

Strategy at a large tech company (like Adobe, TikTok, ServiceNow, Cisco) or MBB consulting coming out of an MBA? At an M7 and both look like likely options.

Piggybacking on my previous post about beginner plants. What about succulents? Are they low maintenance?

The math and language arts teachers always give me the "stay in your lane" when I review a math or writing topic in my science class. They act like there is no math or language arts in science.

My district just purchased Gizmos. Thoughts?

We are deep into NGSS. But have any publishers stepped up to fill the need?

I am a second year teacher with "extra" life experience. I am curious how other high school teachers decorate their rooms. I see lots of posts in elementary but do you fancy up your room each year?

A lot of families want their students to do hands on labs during virtual learning. I am not allowed to "require supplies" for basic school supplies because of equity reasons. How can I reach all families?

Gripe: My art department gets an extra budget for materials, but science does not. Why!?

Each teacher at our school gets $275 for supplies for the whole year. Our art teacher gets an extra $500!

I teach 5th grade science. I love it

Does anyone have a specific setup for science notebooks/binders? I'm looking to change mine this year...

Has anyone ever use contact paper on lab tables? Or do you have other suggestions? Our tables at school are very old and beat up, not just dirty and written on;several have large gouges. I would also like to mark a “phone parking “ spot on each table.

Do your high schools have a STEM fair that is required for all science students to participate?

Science fair is coming up - how are you handling projects this year? Partners/no partners? All-digital projects? I'm at a loss on how to do it.

any great high school science ice breakers/activities to do on the first day?

Also, anyone have a great lab safety video they show to their class? Need a new one

I'm a HS biology teacher with 2 electives, Forensics and Worldwide Medical trends. I am looking for online lab resources, I use labster, Pearson and a colleague and I have started to record what the students would do. We rotate one does the the lab and the other is the narrator but I would still like more options. What do you use? Thanks and good luck to all in these unprecedented times.

What are your most engaging and productive storylines? What essential questions initiate your units of study? What are your go to sites for these inspirations?

Our school uses Foss Kits for Science and I was told when students return, we will need to sanitize all items before and after each use. This doesn’t seem possible in a middle school setting where each period has a 4 minute break and 25 students in each period. What do you do in your classroom to minimize the amount of work needed to clean and sanitize items. I don’t want to short change the students’ hands-on experiences.

Hello. My district is currently remote (virtual) and I am teaching a chemical reactions unit. Usually, this is a hands on unit. I cannot do hands-on labs for equity reasons. My district does not have subscriptions to any science lab simulation sites at the middle school level. We use the NGSS. We are standards based grading and I can only grade the stand MS-PS1-2. Anyone have suggestions on free simulations I can use? I teach synchronously to my students 2 classes (2 hours total ) each week.

What basic equipment should all science lab rooms have? We are trying to reorganize after years of things just being put places.

Is anyone teaching Earth Science, global warming and water shortages etc?
