December 2021 Challenge

Teacher Instructions

Scientists in our community come from a diverse range of places, backgrounds and fields of study. Scientists look like you and me. Scientists are people who are curious about the world around them and how it works. Why do people become scientists? What inspired them? Learn more about a scientist’s journey to become a scientist.   

Three simple steps to show your students' science:

  1. Meet a Scientist!
  2. Assign student prompts/tasks
  3. Share with CRS

December Challenge

Step1: Meet a Scientist

Schedule a virtual BASIS lesson or a virtual (or live) field trip with a scientist before the March deadline. (You may have had a visit already and don’t have to schedule a new one.) Use the resources in this document to schedule and prepare for your visit with a a scientist.

Step 2: Assign the December Challenge - Student Prompt/Task

Have your students share their Observations and Wonderings about their visit. 

Use student task slides (in English and Spanish)**  or have students write & draw in their science notebooks; submit scans or photos of sample pages 

**Make sure you rename the copy with your name and school so that they are ready to share with us when they are done.

Step 3: Shine a light on your students! Submit your December Challenge entry

  • Share the google slides or email photos or samples of student work. We really don't mind the format you and your students use. 
  • Share 10 representative examples for each monthly submission. We don't need an example from every student.
  • We May Publicly Share Images of Student Work, so please only share photos or student work that CRS may share out. 

Submit or share to: ScienceStars@crscience.org

Join Our Team

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.

 

Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities. We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
