I was recently reading the November/December 2022 issue of "Science Scope" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the "From the Editor's Desk" column, written by Patty McGinnis. She wrote a column entitled, "Three-Dimensional Learning."

The Next Generation Science Standards call for three-dimensional learning, or the intentional integration of disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and scientific and engineering practices.

I was recently reading the September/October 2022 issue of "The Science Teacher" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the Career of the Month column, written by Luba Vangelova. She wrote a column entitled, "Astronomer."

Her article focused in on Chris Carilli, an astronomer at the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, where he uses radio-spectrum light captured by a series of antennas to study the early universe.

I was recently reading the September/October 2022 issue of "Science & Children" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the Methods and Strategies column, written by Kathleen Easley and Jamie Lehto. They wrote a column entitled, "Let's Work Together."

In this column, they addressed five research-based strategies that support successful collaboration:

1. Establishing a culture of collaboration

2. Setting clear expectations

3. "Making the rounds"

4. Class conversations

5. Mediating conflict

I was recently reading the September/October 2022 issue of "Science & Children" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the Science 101 column, written by Matt Bobrowsky. He wrote a column entitled, "Do You Have a Weather-Related Activity That My Students Would Enjoy?"

In this column, Matt addressed two topics: Air Pressure and Barometers. This lead me to do a two-part podcast series. The previous podcast looked at the topic of air pressure and how it can be explained to students and this podcast will deal with the tool that measures air pressure - barometers. The air that surrounds us and surrounds the Earth is called air pressure. So, the pressure in the air surrounding us is called atmospheric pressure. An instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure is called a barometer.

I was recently reading the September/October 2022 issue of "Science & Children" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the Editor's Note column, written by Elizabeth Barrett-Zahn. She wrote a column entitled, "Joyful Science."

Remember to plan lessons, follow the curriculum, and cover the content, but don't forget that essential element in the planning — the students. Create space and time for them to find the joys in learning by figuring things out, debating, assessing data, developing arguments, and solving problems. Let's find ways to make learning joyful.

I was recently reading the September/October 2022 issue of "Science Scope" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the Citizen Science column, written by Jill Nugent. She wrote a column entitled, "Getting a Sense of Local Air Quality."

CanAirIO is a citizen science project using mobile and static sensors to measure air quality with cell phones and low-cost technology. They are looking to build a citizen network, an air quality map that will allow them to know what we are breathing and how we can improve life quality. With the data collected, official air quality numbers can be validated because what can be measured can be improved. For more information, please visit:

I was recently reading the September/October 2022 issue of "Science Scope" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the Editor's Corner, written by Patty McGinnis. She wrote a column entitled, "The Human Side of Our Dynamic Earth."

Unfortunately, an increasing number and severity of natural disasters has been tied to climate change. While we may not be able to stop natural disasters from occurring, we can educate students about the link between climate change and natural disasters and the necessity of mitigating and adapting to climate change.
