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.

Using Phenomena to Stimulate Student Sensemaking
Science is the process of investigating, describing, and explaining phenomena that take place in the universe. Research has shown that students learn science concepts much better if they investigate phenomena the way that scientists do. Selecting the right phenomenon will motivate your students to engage in scientific and engineering practices. Come see new ways to use phenomena in your classroom so that your students are both excited about science and understand it more deeply.

Anchors Away: Let’s Replace Teacher-Created Anchor Charts With Student-Created Interactive Word Walls
There is limited research showing the effectiveness of anchor charts in science instruction. Drawbacks include reusing anchors charts across classes, limited effectiveness language learners, and a one-size-fits-all approach. They can be time-consuming to create and are often made by the teachers without student input. These challenges highlight the importance of balancing their use with other instructional methods and considering diverse student needs for optimal learning outcomes. Interactive word walls are a research-based anchor chart replacement.

Building Efficient Simple Investigations
Attendees will efficiently build hands-on investigations that students and other teachers at their school will want to use for a science concept for which they do not currently have one (bring your needs and ideas). As they build their own investigation, attendees will learn how and why teaching through investigations is a more efficient and effective way to teach. The first 50 attendees will receive a free How to Teach Science Through Investigations book.

Asset-Oriented Framing of Science and Language Learning With Multilingual Learners
In recent years, there have been growing efforts to leverage the resources that all students bring to the classroom (an asset-oriented view). Using classroom examples, participants will examine (1) reframing from a deficit-oriented view to an asset-oriented view of multilingual learners across policy, research, and practice, and (2) how instructional shifts in science learning and language learning are mutually supportive with all students, especially multilingual learners.

Answering the Question "Why Do I Need to Know This?" Using Case Studies
Students have always wanted to know, “Why do I need to know this?” or “When will I ever use this?” This session will inspire you to help students own their learning by using real-world events presented as case studies. By guiding them to use their knowledge to understand a concept deeper, you can inspire them to answer their questions of “Why do I need to know this?”

Implementing the New TEKS: Shifting the Focus From Content Confirmation to Content Discovery
The new TEKS, inspired by the K–12 Framework, prioritize student discovery of the content through sense-making opportunities intentionally scaffolded by the teacher. Participants will receive an overview of the key takeaways related 3-D instruction, and participate in a sense-making experience that highlights the shift in instruction from content confirmation (proving the teacher is correct through step-by-step labs) to content discovery (using scientific thinking and skills to make sense of a phenomenon).

TABT Presents: Interactive Cell Membrane Model
Tired of student models that mimic a picture? Come experience a solution to those static models by guiding students to develop an interactive 3-D model of the cell membrane. Students can then modify their model to explore solutions for maintaining homeostasis and cellular identification. The models can also be used for applying their knowledge to explain other phenomena. All model building supplies are everyday items you probably already have.

TCES Presents: Literacy Is Important to Science, But Why?
As educators, we recognize that science learning extends beyond the memorization of facts about content, but the constant emphasis on literacy makes the use of three-dimensional, phenomena-based science lessons all the more difficult. How can we authentically engage students in figuring out scientific phenomena while using literacy? What does evidence of literacy use in science look like? Join us as we explore the critical role of literacy as a lever in phenomena-based science instruction.

TSAAPT Presents: Data, Data, Data! Use Data From Phenomena to Drive Science Learning
Interacting with data provides ease of access to working with any of the science practices. Does the use of data get stuck in the “lab” activities to confirm student understanding? How can we infuse more data from phenomena more often in the instructional cycle? This session explores the tools and pedagogy to infuse data, phenomena, and the science practices into more lessons.

Teaching quantum physics is a task left for universities. However, our presentation is to demonstrate the opposite of that claim. Quantum mechanics can be taught at the high school level for relatively low cost. Most of the activities in our lessons can be done using household materials. These experiments will cover topics, including quantization of particles, the functions, properties of light, and the mechanics of a particle.
