10-Minute Science
Nothing motivates students more than a great science experiment or activity. But, what can you do if time is short? Perhaps you have 10 minutes to spare because lunch is late or class change is 15 minutes away. Maybe you just want to have a quick review on a previously taught concept. This session contains resources (based on the tested fifth-grade Revised Science TEKS) consisting of practical activities, easy-to-do investigations, and meaningful text/discussion cards.

Connections in Electrochemistry for Positive Student Potential and Thermodynamically Favored Outcomes
Electrochemistry is often one of the hardest topics for high school, AP, and dual credit chemistry students. What happens if we use open ended chemistry activities and investigations to connect our students to electrochemistry concepts? What happens if it doesn't matter what the right answer is until we understand the process? Stop teaching the mnemonics and let them discover their own. Your students will increase their potential and you will achieve thermodynamically favored outcomes.

How can we show that pH is more than scary chemistry? With food of course. We hear how acidic foods damage tooth enamel, we know antacids are basic. But there is so much more to pHood! The focus will be how we use the pH in food to control many qualities in the food we eat. The presentation will include recipes highlighting the effects of pH in our food, lab details, and alignment with standards.

Low-Balling Student Abilities: Scientific Inquiry and Related Math
There is abundance and obvious evidence that Pre-K–grade 12 student abilities in conducting scientific inquiry using related math and engineering design are underestimated. Pre-K children constantly conduct investigations, use related math and engineering design in their play and subsequently in later years. Children as young as 3 years old “conduct comparative investigations." Leisure activities of K–12 students include science, engineering, and mathematics.

Celebrating the Brilliance of Children: Three-Dimensional Science in Elementary
People in the bustling Texas city drive by the creek bed daily, never realizing the treasure of fossils the creek bed holds. How old are the fossils? How did they get there? What was the environment like when the fossils were alive? This session focuses on integrating the three-dimensional TEKS to explore this phenomenon and reveal the answers to these questions and more. Participants experience the learning as students and analyze the instruction as educators.

What Do You Mean There’s No Scientific Method? Learning to DO Science With the Vitruvian Man
Students confusion about what it looks like to “do science” comes not from inability, but because of confusing language. We may be undermining our efforts to support students scientific inquiry through our own struggle with scientific literacy, or when we have the literacy, but lack precise language to illustrate true scientific use of terms such as “investigation” or “experimental/experiment.”

“Go Rabbits!” Using the Engineering Design Process to Create a STAAR-Based Board Game
Discover how elementary students transformed STAAR passages into unique board games! Learn from my students' journey in creating "Go Rabbits," where they wrote rules, used Tinkercad to design pieces, used Canva to design a board, and iterated their game through playtesting. Participate in a hands-on snapshot of the activity by transforming well-known games into your own creations using the engineering design process. Finally, we’ll discuss how the board game activity can address TEKS outcomes.

Building Language and Literacy in 5E With Talk, Read, Talk, Write and The Visual Non-Glossary
Students often struggle to develop academic vocabulary in science. This session will focus on getting students to speak, listen, read, and write using academic language in science. While academic vocabulary should be developed in all phases of the 5E model, we will focus on the explain phase where participants will engage in a Talk, Read, Talk, Write using structured visuals and the QSSSA strategy, and get ideas of how to differentiate reading passages for emergent bilinguals.

Enhancing Sensemaking With Recurring Themes and Concepts
Recurring themes and concepts (RTCs) are a significant part of the new science TEKS that can be used as powerful sensemaking tools. In this session, we will model practical strategies utilizing RTCs that will challenge students to think about science content in greater depth and complexity. We will also share ways to integrate these crosscutting concepts to formatively assess students. Participants will leave with ready-to-use strategies that can be used in any science context.

Focusing on carbon reservoirs, fluxes, and anthropogenic inputs, groups will create a box and arrow diagram of the carbon cycle to be followed by a gallery walk. Students will apply their new knowledge the carbon cycle in suggesting ways for a community to decrease its carbon output.
