Introducing the Flipgrid Explorer Series
Overview
Voices with Antarctica
Explorer Series: Raptors
Explorer Series: Fossils
SInce the first two were so engaging and informative, Flipgrid rolled out another episode of the series, fossils. For this Explorer Series, Jason Osborne, a paleontologist from Midland, Texas gave students a look into fossil discovery in a river. He also provided students with information on the gear that he uses, the tools that he has, and the process describing how these ancient fossils end up in riverbeds. What's really awesome about this series is that it's still an OPEN GRID! Students can still submit to it if your class is itching to know more about this piece of ancient archaeology.
Brand New Explorer Adventure: Brains
- October 2nd: Pre-knowledge - What is the most interesting thing about the brain? What's the most confusing thing about the brain?
- October 16th: Topic One - Throughout this week we'll discuss the various components of the brain; which part of the brain do you think is most important and why?
- October 23rd: Topic Two - What do you believe will be the next big thing for neuroscience? What scientific breakthrough with the brain will change humanity as we know it?
- October 27th: Reflection - How do you see brains differently?
Have your students begin drafting questions to ask, as well as a response to the first week's topic. Their participation will be much more beneficial than a chapter out of a textbook or a YouTube video! Check out Explorer Series: Brains to participate.
