    Hi! Hoping for some good discussion.

    Carol, we're working on building this group up (some are packed already - this one not so much yet). In the meantime you might check the Science Education Forum

    and these posts about a Science teacher I've been working with:
    #1. TEACHING: SCIENCE, ART OR CRAFT?
    #2. LITERACY, SCIENCE & THE 4Ss
    #3. VIEWING STRATEGIES: A CASE STUDY

    I haven't done a ton of science posts but hope to do more in the future to get more science people in the MC POP mix!

    Welcome to our budding science group!

    Eric Kursman posted a great set of Game Show PPT templates in the forum that folks might want to download/ check out/ use:

    PowerPoint Meets Game Shows - Template Time!

    If you like them be sure to thank the Kurs

    See Frank Baker's blog post The Music Instinct: Science & Song on PBS sounds very teachable!

    FYI the "How Comics Can Save Us" Posting today yielded mad discussion and additional resources in the GN & Comics group - you might check the discussion below their post for more science resources here.

    Did y'all catch two of Frank Baker's blogs re: science and "21st Century Skills"

    and the PBS Music and the Mind special?

    And remember, if you dig the resources you're finding here please do invite fellow science teachers to join the groups use this

    button to bring more science friends into the MC Pop community.

    Enjoy! Ry:)

    I think Mythbusters is the only video I showed last year that close to all of my students actually paid attention to. The one on busting/prooving the myth of whether or not cows contribute to global warming was perfect for our unit on atmosphere and the environment.

    Well, do cows contribute go global warming?

    Yes, they do! By burping and releasing excessive amounts of methane gas into the air, they actually contribute more to global warming than cars. Crazy, I know.

    Did folks see Marek Bennett's comment on the Comic Science discussion at the very bottom of the discussion thread? He put up a URL for his Jr. High Solar System Comics Unit (poor Pluto!).

    It is very cool stuff with information for teachers interested in doing a comic science unit.
