George, I couldn't agree with you more. As an educator with 30 years of experience in both formal and informal learning spaces, this mindset helps to bring science 'home' and remind us that there isn't a whole lot we can do that doesn't speak to the role science plays in our daily lives.
I am wondering if you post here is just that...a post, or if you have another purpose in mind.
For example, are you looking for resources that may encourage these talking points? Are you wondering how you can translate what you are doing in your classroom to out-of-the-classroom realities? Are you searching for lessons that will provide equitable instruction at home during a time that has students learning and teachers teaching in spaces that we may have never imagined?
I would be pleased to share resources with you if I knew what your needs require.
:)
Dr. Ellie
