[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why you don’t ask parents who don’t teach how to improve what they don’t know. We cannot give at home kids asynchronous stuff to only focus on the in person kids. [/quote]

Exactly, won't the kids at home want to observe the science lab or participate in the conversation?[/quote]

I would think they would rather do the science lab themself on the day they are in school and then work on their lab report with their partner in a breakout room the next period. [/quote]

The point is that if the class has kids who are full DL, then the only science lab experiments the teacher can offer are ones that can be done at home as well.  A teacher with a hybrid class can flip as you describe above.  A teacher with a full virtual class, would only plan activities that can be done at home.  A teacher with a concurrent class must follow the virtual since not all kids will have days in the classroom to use lab equipment and so on.[/quote]

All of my middle school son's lab "experiments" have so far been done online through manipulating "gizmo" models online and I don't see how that really changes.  Kids surely can't break out microscopes because of the germ issues meaning they can't share equipment, you can't have lab partners because kids need to be six feet away from one another.  What sorts of science labs are schools actually accomplishing?  I'd be surprised if it were any but the most rudimentary.[/quote]

Yep, it's still all going to be online.[/quote]
