As a science teacher passionate about teaching science as a practice, not just a collection of facts, Lab in Every Lesson was created to help teachers and parents provide students with rich learning experiences that empower them with skills they can use in everyday life—skills to think critically, make informed decisions, and solve real-world problems. But even the most strategic and thoughtfully designed lessons won’t get the job done alone! Science lessons are like the trunk of a tree — the means through which we plan and differentiate instruction to serve every student. Yet, that trunk is also connected to a system of deep, entangled roots that allow it to stand tall and strong. On this podcast, ”Deep Roots=＞ Flowers + Fruit”, we’ll plant seeds of reflection and strengthen our shared roots of SERVICE, STUDENTS, and SCIENCE. Together, we’ll grow the fruit of lasting learning.

February is all about connection—but not just in relationships. In this episode of Deep Roots, Flowers, and Fruit, we explore what it means to truly connect students to science as a practice, not just as a set of facts.
Too often, science instruction checks off the boxes—“I did a lab, so I included the science and engineering practices!”—but is that enough?
We’ll dive into the real purpose of science education: helping students do science, not just memorize it. From integrating science and engineering practices into daily lessons to transforming assessments into meaningful demonstrations of learning, this conversation is all about weaving inquiry-based learning into everything we do.
Join me as we discuss:
🌱 The roots of strong science instruction—consistent, meaningful, and inquiry-driven.
🌱 Why observation is the foundation of every science and engineering practice.
🌱 How assessments can go beyond multiple-choice to truly measure student understanding.
🌱 Simple ways to bring the awe and wonder of science into your classroom every day.
Stick around until the end, where I’ll tell you about my free lesson plan template—designed to make it easier than ever to keep science inquiry at the heart of your teaching. Plus, a sneak peek at next month’s theme: Curiosity!
Let’s cultivate a classroom where science is more than just knowledge—it’s a way of thinking, exploring, and discovering. 🎙🌿
