• Learning Through Storylines in Earth and Space Science!

  Funded Sep 9, 2021

  Thank you for allowing the opportunity for students to explore Earth and Space Sciences through the use of storylines by asking questions that will spark imagination and new interests in the world around them. Having access to Teachers Pay Teachers ensured that our ESS team started the year off to a strong start with developing lessons anchored in storylines and the various Post-it notes and flip charts allowed for students to record their questions and guide their thinking as they explored volcanoes.”
