Today, we talked about new ways of thinking about scientific content and scientific processes, and new ways of thinking about what it means to be proficient in science. We also discussed the four learning strands: understanding scientific explanations, generating scientific evidence, reflecting on scientific knowledge, and participating productively in science.

Also we made a game called "The Safety Game". We created the game as a way to be able to teach students the proper safety procedures and methods in a classroom. We discussed how important it is for students to stay safe and know all the proper ways to deal with certain situations.
