This past week, the high school and middle school science teachers came together for collaboration. Apparently, collaboration hasn’t happened in a while in this district. The high school teachers to whom I’ve spoken were pleased with the work we accomplished together. During our conversation, we decided to compile a list of skills and tools we want to foster in our students (How will come next.) Below is a whiteboard image summarizing our thoughts.

It’s clear that we were brainstorming. Our ideas jumped from broad, general skills such as “predicting” and “graphing” to general big ideas such as structure/function and patterns.
We have some questions.
What’s missing? What doesn’t belong? What needs to be rearranged?
