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.

Let's create a culture of curiosity in our classrooms by adding COMFORTABLE STRUGGLE to all the lesson plans in our science curriculum!
This episode will refresh what you remember about depth of knowledge and why it's important to our instructional design. Then, I'll explain exactly how the scientific method -- especially observation and inferences in science -- perfectly complement traditional hierarchies of understanding.
My hope is that, when you're finished listening, you'll feel inspired to increase student engagement through active learning that's rooted in scientific principles and skills. WHEN YOU TAKE ACTION to make that transformation toward a more student-centered culture, you'll make thinking visible in your middle school or high school science classroom.
Here's what to expect:
00:00 A familiar story from *your* classroom!
01:52 A *personal* story about higher-order thinking and DOK
04:03 What is higher-order thinking? (a review of taxonomies)
12:11 Why higher-order thinking and science go together like PB&J
16:45 Science practice as a taxonomy
