K12Science Podcast: Nitrate Watch

I was recently reading the September/October 2026 issue of “Science Scope” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue I read the section “Citizen Science” written by Jill Nugent.  She wrote an article entitled “Nitrate Watch: Exploring Connections from the Creek to the Classroom.”

Through the Nitrate Watch citizen science project, students test water sources and measure nitrate amounts. Nitrate is a naturally occurring compound of nitrogen and oxygen. Using free test kits, classrooms collect water samples from tap water and nearby creeks or lakes to measure and report nitrate concentrations.

To learn more, visit the Nitrate Watch website at:

What it is: Girls’ flag football is the fastest-growing high school sport in the US. The NFL is now pushing for all 50 states to invest in the sport.  

Why it’s sweeping the nation: As concerns around tackle football injuries grow, youth participation in the sport has decreased. Enter: flag football, which is like regular football, minus the tackling. The appeal for parents? Flag football is safer and requires less equipment. The best way to produce future fans is participation in youth sports, so it makes sense why the NFL has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into youth leagues. And it seems to be paying off, according to Bloomberg. Over 41 states now offer girls high school flag football programs, and 25 states have officially sanctioned championships at the high school level. Now there’s a path for girls to play in college on NCAA D1 women’s flag football teams. The sport will make its Olympic debut for men and women in the 2028 LA games, which could boost popularity even further

Is Direct Instruction a Dirty Word? What I Learned from Zach Groshell

If you’ve been in education for any length of time, you’ve heard the debate. Should the teacher lead, or should kids discover?

His epiphany was that there’s a third way. In his words, it’s “to drive all decisions based on a body of evidence, the science of learning.” When something is new for kids, they need explicit teaching. Then the teacher slowly hands over the reins until students can do it on their own, and get creative with it.

K12Science Podcast: AI and Scientific Information

I was recently reading the July/August 2026 issue of “The Science Teacher” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue I read the section “Fact-or-Faux” written by Jonathan Osborne.  He wrote an article entitled “AI – Friend or Foe?.”

Can AI help in detecting misinformation? Can it sort fact from faux? Here is a three-step process to help:

1. Get it In — Put the claim into AI

2. Track it Down — Track down the source

3. Follow Up — Follow up by asking more questions of AI about the source of the claim.

Verity:  The Meme

If you guessed that this meme would be about the controversial movie adaptation coming out next week, good guess, you are wrong. To understand the meme “verity,” you first have to understand a particular Minecraft subculture, which involves installing “horror mods” to add additional scary elements to the game. A YouTube series by ThatMob depicts (strong language) the installation of a mod called Verity™ into Minecraft, which is represented as an AI-powered smiley face in the game who helps you find useful items—only to eventually transform into a horrifying monster. The series led to the creation of an annoyingly catchy song, and is why your 13-year-old might now be calling all smiley faces “verity” and/or adding -ity as a suffix onto a wide variety of words.

NYC school system to ban AI for elementary, middle school students

The Gen Z stare, the decline of saying things out loud

Like most good generational jokes, poking fun at the now-infamous “Gen Z stare” – a silent, blank expression – works because it gets at something real: We are, quite literally, talking less.

An analysis published in July in Perspectives on Psychological Science of more than 2,000 people found that Americans and people in several other countries are speaking roughly 300 fewer words a day, or about two to three minutes’ worth, with each passing year. The drop – a 28 percent decline from 2005 to 2019 – was especially pronounced among people younger than 25.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17456916261425131

Brains, Calculators, and the Purpose of School

The logic of banning calculators wasn’t about punishing kids. It was about making sure students learned the process of thinking. Anyone who has watched a child wrestle with long division or fractions knows it isn’t easy. But that struggle creates growth.

When I help Jack with his math homework, I pull out my phone, open ChatGPT, and ask it to explain fractions “like I’m a sixth grader.” And it walks us, step-by-step, how to find a common denominator in language he understands. 

Suddenly, I’m equipped to help him with math, and he learns better.

True innovation, in my mind, isn’t throwing out tradition whenever something shiny comes along. It’s adding value to what already works.

If banning calculators helps build brain power, great. Sometimes we need to restrict technology. If using AI as a tutor helps a student catch up, also great. If art and music grow creativity, empathy, and collaboration, they’re essential. The goal isn’t tradition for tradition’s sake, or innovation just because it’s new. The goal is to help students become the graduates, the people, we know they can be: creative, resilient, collaborative, empathetic, and prepared to thrive.

School needs to evolve with the times, but not at the expense of what makes it meaningful. It should hold onto what’s timeless and embrace what’s new, as long as both help students grow into their full potential.

Why it’s more than clout-maxxing: @25yearsagolive, also known as Ohio native Manny Marotta, won’t be posting on 9/11 as a one-off publicity stunt. He’s a 27-year-old history buff, and today will be part of a much bigger project, which he calls “a giant LARP” (language). He reenacts various significant events on other accounts he runs, including @100yearsagolive and @50yearsagolive, all with the same “livestreaming the past” gimmick. Marotta plans to post over 400 times, and he says he watched 40 documentaries and read three books to research September 11, 2001—a research process that completely changed how he saw those events.

Fantastic day at Leland Public School sharing my “Wrestle Rap Reflect” framework where students: 💪 Wrestle with content independent of AI 💬 Rap with AI to enhance & extend learning 🤔 Reflect on their use of AI to incorporate it All of my PD resources: bit.ly/curts-pd  

Resources:  

Stretch AI

Example Interaction: 

Your Prompt:  

I am interested in your ideas in strategies that integrate engagement-focused practices to replace objective posting in my classroom.  

Stretch’s Answer:  

Focusing on engagement-focused strategies that move beyond posting objectives can invigorate your classroom by making learning more student-centered, relevant, and meaningful. Here are some research-backed approaches you can integrate to spark authentic engagement:

1. Start with Essential, Open-Ended Questions or Problems
   Rather than displaying specific daily objectives, introduce lessons with compelling “big questions” or real-world problems tied to student interests and current events. This invites curiosity and cognitive engagement, encouraging students to explore and wrestle with ideas rather than aiming solely to meet a posted goal (Three Ways to Engage Students in Any Lesson; New Thinking About Student Engagement).
   
   Example: Instead of “I can identify the Bill of Rights,” open with: “How do the rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights shape our everyday freedoms today?” then let students investigate, discuss, and create responses.
   
2. Give Students Choice and Voice in How They Learn and Demonstrate Learning
   Empower students to decide on how they want to explore a topic or show their understanding—through digital storytelling, debates, art projects, or coding challenges—to increase ownership and motivation. Flexible pacing, learning spaces, and paths allow learners to connect what they learn to their own interests and strengths (The Techy Teacher / When Students Drive the Pace, Space, and Path; Yes, You Can Motivate Your Students).
   
   Example: For a history unit, students might choose to create a podcast, develop a graphic novel, or lead a multimedia presentation on the same content.
   
3. Focus on Collaborative, Authentic Learning Experiences
   Build lessons around tasks that have an authentic audience or real-world application, such as presenting to peers, authentic stakeholders, or publishing work online. This creates relevance and social motivation. Collaboration encourages behavioral and cognitive engagement through peer dialogue and shared inquiry (Three Ways to Engage Students in Any Lesson; What Students Have to Say About Improving Engagement).
   
   Example: Have students debate modern issues related to constitutional rights, then share reflections or solutions with community members or via classroom blogs.
   
4. Use Reflective and Metacognitive Practices to Develop Engagement
   Invite students to reflect on their interests, learning strategies, and progress, encouraging self-regulation and deeper cognitive engagement. Instead of passively absorbing objectives, they monitor their own growth and set personal goals (New Thinking About Student Engagement; Yes, You Can Motivate Your Students).
   
   Example: Use exit tickets or journals where students reflect on what questions they still have or where they want to dig deeper.
   
5. Adopt Engaging Language and Interaction Patterns
   Shift your teacher talk from compliance-oriented phrases (“Be ready to show me…”) to engagement-oriented ones (“Be ready to share your ideas…”), encouraging authentic participation and ownership (Small Shifts in Teacher Talk Make a Big Difference; Your Words Matter).
   
6. Integrate Student Passions and Relevant Technology
   Connect learning to student interests (e.g., gaming, social media, pop culture) and use tech tools that facilitate creativity and collaboration. This relevance boosts motivation significantly (Three Ways to Engage Students in Any Lesson; Engagement is Everything, Especially Now).

---

These strategies emphasize authentic, dynamic learning experiences that foster behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement without relying on static posted objectives. They help students see learning as relevant, social, and self-directed—key elements for motivation and achievement.

I Study Successful People. They Have One Habit in Common.

Most people understand the importance of asking for help in a life-or-death crisis. We know we should wave to the lifeguard during a riptide or call 911 if our house catches fire. But in our personal and professional lives, Americans are encouraged to pursue rugged individualism over interdependency. 

You might think I’d love the image of the solo striver triumphing over every challenge. After all, I’m a psychologist who wrote a book called “Grit” about the necessity of passion and perseverance for achieving long-term goals. 

Without exception, every high performer I’ve studied credits a host of supporters for success. Research has found that a willingness to ask for help is crucial to achievement.

Studies show that knowing when to ask for help is an essential skill for children’s learning and achievement.

From an early age, we suffer from what cognitive psychologists call the illusion of self-sufficiency, overlooking how much we owe our skills to other people.

Being a successful self-starter doesn’t mean pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. It’s raising your hand and asking a teacher to explain, once again, a concept you still don’t understand. It’s calling up a former boss for advice. It’s announcing to your team that you’re stuck on an important problem and need their collective brain to solve it. It’s not just stoically making the best of a bad situation — it’s proactively making your situation more supportive. Don’t assume you’re being a burden when you reach out asking for help. Research shows we consistently underestimate how happy it makes others to lend a hand.

Bill Gates was an AI optimist. Now he’s scared of what could go wrong.

For years, Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates said he was optimistic that the world would become a better place thanks to artificial intelligence. He imagined the technology freeing people from work and speeding up inventions that would fight diseases and climate change.

The turbulent AI era is here. The choices we make now are critical.

When I first learned about computers at age 13 I was fascinated by the idea of making them more intelligent and able to perform things that, at the time, only humans could do. Although the term “AI” was used from around the time I was born, the technology has only made significant progress in the last decade. It is now incredibly capable and it is continuing to improve at a mind-blowing rate. AI for the first time can replace and even exceed human cognition.

K12Science Podcast: Taking Students Outside

I was recently reading the May/June, 2026 issue of “The Science Teacher,” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. 

In this issue I read an article written by Gregory MacDougall. He wrote an article entitled “Taking Students Outside: A Framework for Making Science Real.”

Gregory shared a four-part framework for outdoor science instruction:

1. Explore the school grounds with purpose.

2. Connect standards to outdoor phenomena.

3. Plan specific student actions using the science and engineering practices.

4. Extend learning through reflection and action.

ACE in Math: Three Questions That Show Real Understanding

Here is a simple way to use ACE during conferring, tutoring, or homework help:

ACE Step	Ask This	Listen For
Articulate	“What is this problem asking?”	The student can explain the situation in plain language
Connect	“Why did you use that operation?”	The student can give a reason, not just name a rule
Extend	“Can you make up a problem like this?”	The student can use the idea in a new situation

Stop Defining Human Skills by What AI Cannot Do

Every list of essential human skills I have read in the last three years was assembled the same way. Someone looked at what the current AI models could not do, wrote those things down, and called it a framework.

• In 2023 the list included long-form writing. Then it did not.
• In 2024 it included coding. That one is going fast.

Longitudinal effect of early social media use on standardized learning outcomes during school career

This study uses difference-in-differences models to evaluate the impact of early social media use on academic performance among children aged 7–16 years. A dataset comprising 5,227 students from northern Italy was constructed by merging data from a questionnaire on lifetime digital media habits with longitudinal standardized test scores in Italian, English and mathematics. Participants who created a personal social media account in 6th, 7th or 8th grade were separately matched with late adopters who initiated their first social media account in the 9th grade or later. The findings provide compelling evidence that early engagement with social media adversely affects learning outcomes. Additional findings on the effects of early social media use on other academic outcomes for which we do not have longitudinal data are in line with our main findings. We also find supporting evidence that a substantial part of this negative effect is mediated by students’ smartphone pervasiveness in key moments of the day.

‘I hate what AI is doing to the minds and happiness of the young’: Katherine Rundell on the view from the classroom

The Generative AI Learning Penalty: Evidence from Chinese Secondary Education

Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine monthly closed-book exams, high-school and college entrance exams, and homework scores and completion time across nine subjects. We exploit staggered AI adoption in a difference-in-differences design. AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months. High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years. The losses are largest in social science subjects, followed by STEM and languages, and are especially large for junior students, high-achieving students, and boys. The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of AI users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores. AI users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-AI users experience small learning losses.

K12Science Podcast: Building Science Literacy

I was recently reading the May-June, 2026 issue of “Science and Children” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. 

In this issue, I read the Science 101 column written by Matt Bobrowsky. It was entitled “Q: How Can I Build Science Literacy for Lifelong Learning (Using Thermal Insulation)?”

We can build science literacy by teaching students that science is a process of asking questions, testing ideas, using evidence, and explaining results — skills they will use far beyond the classroom.

Buzz – Slack for Agents

“Buzz is a free, open source team workspace built by Block (Jack Dorsey’s company) and released on July 21, 2026. It looks like Slack: channels, threads, DMs, voice.

It also ships code repositories, which puts it in competition with GitHub too.”

K12Science Podcast: Consequences of High Stakes Testing

I was recently reading the May-June, 2026 issue of “Science Scope” a publication from the National Science Teaching Association. 

In this issue, I read the Leadership Matters column written by Amy Bekins. It was entitled “The Unintentional Consequences of High Stakes Testing on Middle School Science.”

Some ways that leaders can build science efficacy and increase achievement for all contents is to:

1. Incorporate more nonfiction texts.

2. Conduct experiments where students can practice mathematics skills, such as graphing, with real data.

3. Leverage each teachers’ content expertise through cross content teams and projects.

4. Encourage science to be an integral part of the curriculum.
