Science at Home with Dr. Nash

Help me give my students reliable Science@Home lessons with this iPad Pro! Our classroom program is fantastic, but my home technology is unable to provide robust support for the video instruction and materials deployment I need. Help!

My Students

Our small, project-based learning STEAM school draws an international community of public school students, representing over 100 languages from all over the world. Our diversity aligns around our passion for group-learning in real-world contexts.

Students are colleagues who brainstorm together, plan together, create together, and iterate designs together.

We use problem-solving and evidence to explain and predict natural phenomena. We design solutions to solve problems that arise from natural and human-made phenomena. We work together to be better Science citizens.

And now we are at home, using our flexible minds to create an environment in which we can build our distance-learning community with the same resiliency and tenacity that we once shared in our classroom.

My Project

Very simply, our Science program is highly visual and collaborative. Tools that allow me as a remote teacher to enable better video production of lessons allow students to participate in a creative, powerful learning environment from home. Students learn how to use video tools successfully in a way they can deploy themselves.

Help me bring Science to life in the home of our middle schoolers by allowing me to model for the students how best to use video technology in production of science proposals and journal clubs-- Students will learn to use this iPad in the classroom to produce stronger, more focused digital communications for their work as a result.

On my website is an example of a highly visual project I shared last week. (Search for Nashlab Juli Nash and you will find the link in the teacher directory). Included is Modeling and demonstration instruction for one design engineering project issued for distance learning by video. Lessons on modeling inheritance patterns with Punnett Squares, how DNA makes mRNA makes protein, and how changes in birth rates and death rates in populations of a food web can explain both direct and indirect effects on population sizes of animals in an ecosystem are also modeled.

Students are learning by example how best to communicate their project work in a digital format. Students will share this iPad upon returning to the classroom allowing students to develop flipped lessons for their peers in the form of journal clubs (sharing Science news articles) and in the form of development of PSAs for their design proposals.

Thanks for considering!
