What a day! Authentic collaboration between amazing Science and RLA teachers, all committed to innovative interdisciplinary learning. Sounds like #DestinationExcellence to me!
Kicking off summer PD with an incredible cross discipline session for RLA and Science teachers. Thanks to @DaveSurdovel, @MrsvanPutten and Jay DeCoste for being the best presentation partners. Such great collaboration and discussion from this packed room of instructional leaders.
Rain or shine, the @TISDTHS Astronomy class is having a blast at Space Center Houston! Exploring the Astronaut Training Center, diving into Artemis missions and the ISS—what an out-of-this-world learning experience! #TISDscience #STEMinAction #SpaceCenterHouston
What makes the nighttime the right time for geese to migrate?
@TexasSciLeader 3D science teachers—how might you use this phenomenon to anchor learning?

Awe-inspiring night at the @TISDTHS Astronomy Club Star Gazing Party! We began with the Winter Hexagon, then viewed Jupiter’s cloud bands and its 4 Galilean moons, the Orion Nebula, & the Pleiades. We learned so much—huge thanks to @NHACAstronomy!
Attn all amateur astronomers. Make sure you join us at the THS soccer fields tonight for a night of stargazing. All the action starts at dusk. @TISDTHS @TomballISD @MrsvanPutten @Michael_A_Webb
Couldn’t agree more! Mrs. Schilder and Mr. CV are truly awesome. Their dedication to students and science education is inspiring. @JenniferCourv #TISDScienceRocks
Shoutout to Marissa Logrono and Kelly Riley for organizing an incredible “Adulting Day” at LSC for Tomball Star Academy students! I loved the session on the value of qualitative data—so insightful. Great work fostering real-world skills and critical thinking!
Shoutout to @TomballISD science teachers Nikki Jones and Alyson Cunningham for their inspiring presentation #STATCAST24! They showcased how to combine 5E instruction with 3D learning to bring Newton’s Laws to life. Proud to see them represent #TISDScience so well!
Mitochondria are more than the powerhouse of the cell! #Biology teachers, what could your students do with this info?
Hey, @TXScienceSTAT, how could you use this phenomenon to support student sensemaking in the classroom this fall? What Recurring Themes and Concepts could you weave into this topic? It’s time to get 3D @TomballISD Science Teachers! Are you ready?
Attention @TomballISD Science Teachers!
Are you ready to teach in 3D this fall? It’s not too late to register in Strive for our asynchronous online course for K-12. Collaborate with colleagues and earn 3 or 6 hours of exchange day credit.

Phenomenal (pun intended) work being done in @TomballISD as we prepare for the implementation of the new #3DScience TEKS. Proud of the amazing team working hard on this ambitious project of writing a brand-new K-12 science curriculum to support these changes.
Exciting things happening in TISD! Kudos to our dedicated teachers for developing innovative science curriculum using 3D instruction. You're shaping the future of science! #Education #3DLearning #STEM #TISDScience @MrsvanPutten
Shoutout to the amazing 8th-grade teaching team at @TISDCPJHS for their innovative and engaging STAAR science review! The ‘flamingo feud’ is a brilliant way to inspire students to showcase their mastery of science concepts. Fantastic work! #TomballScienceTeachersInspire
“🔬📚 Our district’s support for the new #ScienceTEKS and textbook adoption is a treat, not a trick! 🎃👻
I believe @TomballISD is ready for the new Science TEKS! Textbook adoption process starts next month … 🧬 🧪 🧫
Just witnessed science classroom magic in Ms. Nikki Jones’ 7th grade class @TISDTJHS 💯% student engagement as they investigate how mealworms respond to different stimuli. 🐛🔍 #ScienceRocks #CuriousMinds #EngagedStudents
5 Reasons I LOVE 5E:
1. Sparks wonder and curiosity 💡
2. Nurtures science process skills 🧪🔍
3. Promotes equity in learning 🌍✨
4. Fosters deeper understanding 🌟
5. Assesses knowledge effectively 📊
Elevate science instruction with the #5EModel 🚀 #EquityInEducation
