3DMD Model Teachers Go Above and Beyond
Mary Howard, Washington Township Public Schools, and Jennifer Zinman, Lacordaire Academy, went above and beyond in their efforts in running the booth, doing sessions, and helping teachers during the New Jersey Science Convention. Mary did a session on modeling DNA, RNA, and Proteins, while Jennifer ran a workshop on modeling meiosis.
Sarah Urban, Helena Public School District, presented a workshop on modeling protein structure at the Montana Federation of Public Employees 2022 Educator Conference. Her passion for hands-on modeling to engage science learners is contagious!
For many of us, the Modeling the Molecular World summer courses held at the CBM for the past decade were a pivotal learning experience leading to a transformation in our teaching. A few reasons this experience is so amazing include:
We found our people!
We learned amazing strategies and stories!
We returned to our classroom revitalized and carrying our very own materials to engage students!
With the merger of the CBM and 3DMD, this opportunity continues in 2023. Applications will be accepted starting November 1st.
Which stories do you tell using GIFs or Stop Action Videos? What stories would you like told?
We know that some teachers and students are visual storytellers extraordinaire! These snappy but accurate portrayals can help students confirm or modify their own conceptual models. Plus, they can provoke and inspire questions!
We're curious:
What stories do your students most often depict using video?
Would you be willing to share examples with us?
Which concepts/kits would you like to see told in short formats like GIFs?
We are busy refreshing our images, videos, and other resources and would love to know which science concepts you'd like converted into bite-sized knowledge nuggets.
Sturdy, colorful pieces and magnets make it easy for students to snap, bend, twist, and interact as they build DNA. Thanks to our patented design innovations in our
