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

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

Everyone going office regularly?

Hii...any updates on work from office for pune location in assurance??

Hello everyone,
Does Honeywell, has complete work from home option?

Curious how everyone is doing with their coworkers these days amidst the current political climate. I know our field tends to lean conservative so just curious how you're dealing.

For staff/seniors in public accounting. Would you rather be paid 1 1/2 for your tax season overtime hours or would you prefer to wait for a big fat bonus check at the end of the company year? I heard KMPG paid overtime at 1.5 back in the day when the others didn't. I am sure they have now cut that out though.

I work 2 part-time jobs. I just requested a pay raise at my ABA job which they approved on by 10%. My other job is in Mental Health has a flat rate with no chance to request a raise, turns out I'm not required to work the full 20hrs/Week meaning that when there's no work to complete I won't be getting paid. I've only been here 8months & want to leave as I need the money. Should I start looking elsewhere even if I haven't been here for a year?

Hey people

I have recently received an offer letter from PwC and have signed and accepted the offer (via Workday portal).
Now when I check the tasks against the job on workday, I can see no tasks pending and under completed tasks: a green tick against 'review and sign offer letter (step complete)' (and I can see the offer)
I am told that I would receive onboarding emails from HR, but I haven't yet.
My DoJ is in the fourth week of July. When do we generally expect these communications?

Need insights about citi joining process. After 1 and half month recieved offer letter this Monday and I have accepted it on same day along with joining date. But till now they have not initiated BGV process. Will everything take this much time in citi !! How smooth is the joining process in citi?

How much hike range can we expect for c10 employees in Bangalore working in USDM?

What exit opportunities exist for international arbitration? I don’t want to litigate, and am a non-American so government jobs (which seem to be what my colleagues are exiting into) aren’t an option for me. I don’t ever see myself making partner (nor do I want to), and I feel totally stuck.

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

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

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.

Looking for a really good Living Environment workbook for students. We are currently not sure if we will have to take the LE regents at the end of the year. Any suggestions?

I teach 5th grade science. I love it

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

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.

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.

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!

My district just purchased Gizmos. Thoughts?

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?

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 will be teaching Biology 9 and Anatomy and Physiology in the fall at a new school. I am in search of recommendations on a good lab manual for both classes. I would like a manual that has a thorough teacher edition and includes a good variety of labs that are appropriate for all learning levels.

Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone using MH Inspire Science? What are your thoughts? Are there enough labs for distance learning or do you supplement?

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.

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.

How do you all ask parents for supplies without bagging them constantly?

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

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?
