This site is used to expand the learning opportunities and resources for Science students. We will be using Schoology as a center for accessing class resources, assignments, blogging and other discussions, taking quizzes and submitting assignments. Contact Mrs. Donley to get access to Schoology and other resources. Other applications that we employ on a regular basis are Google applications, Blendspace, Pear Deck, WeVideo, Weebly for Education, InnerOrbit and Kahoot! See the bottom of the page for the Three Skills we focus on: Modeling, Inquiry and Design Thinking. Click here for teacher PBL Resources!

Here are more resources such as lectures from MIT, Google MoScience Blog, MoAP Biology site, RSS feeds from various science magazines, and links to the class CK-12, Khan's Academy, and HippoCampus to name just a few. Have fun!
Skill One- ModelingCheck out ScalableGame Design (Homeostasis of blood sugar) This is a project directed by Dr. Alex Repenning at the University of Colorado and Agent Sheets/Cubes. I had the pleasure of working with his team and piloting these computational thinking models with my students! In light of the Next Generation Science Standards more of these types of interactive simulations are needed for educators to use in the classroom. Students can create science simulations on their own using programs like Agent Sheets and Agent Cubes!
