Science teachers: Check out this terrific resource for Meteorology units. 🌀💨⛈️

Teaching about Earth Day this week? Need a short doc on the origins of the 1st Earth Day in 1970? What about a free lesson plan with photographs from the Documerica project, data analysis, & connections to EPA laws? @retroreport.org has you covered! retroreport.org/video/chokin...

An incredible story as Shohei Ohtani and @stephennelson.bsky.social met the 100-year-old survivor of the Nagasaki bombing. Story from Manny Randhawa: www.mlb.com/rockies/news...

First reflections from Christina Koch (starting at ~10:00 minute mark): just beautiful! I hope there is a transcript at some point. I think it might fit in a HS ELA curriculum. Story of start & end of voyage. The meaning of a “crew” & how she connects it all at the end! 🌏 youtu.be/po1cBvMRy_Y

✅ #Artemis II update: 'Earthset', 6 April 2026, and 'totality', 7 April, seen from lunar orbit, the Moon eclipses the Sun, a view few humans have ever witnessed (pics: NASA) 🔗 www.nasa.gov/gallery/jour... @exploration.esa.int l

🌔 👋 The crew of NASA's Artemis II mission had some nice words for Earth as they regained communications with Mission Control. Watch with us: spklr.io/6001EyN07

Listening to this description live was incredible, as well as descriptions of the plateau with greenish hues and highlands with brownish shades. 🌘

OK this is cool. The first time humans have seen the whole Mare Orientale on the far side of the Moon with their own eyes. See flic.kr/p/2s5HA2X 🧪🔭

Hmmmm how can I add this to my Meteorology unit? 🧐 Nothing better than Science x History cross-curricular. Also could add this to the Ken Burns American Revolution episode clip with the Great Hurricane of 1780 impact on British war ships.

Congrats to our 2026 World Baseball Classic Champs!

Been a fun tournament so far 🍿

🌌 March 2026 still has plenty to see in our sky charts!

As the Winter Olympics draw to a close, what are the medals that the top athletes will be taking home made of? This graphic takes a look and also highlights the values of each medal: www.compoundchem.com/2026/02/22/w... #ChemSky 🧪

February 2026 brings new highlights to our sky charts. 🌌 🧪 📍 Northern Hemisphere 📅 Feb 18–19: The Moon passes Mercury and Saturn, low in the western sky at dusk. You’ll need a clear view to the horizon to spot them.

To be clear: baseball season never ended. Thanks to all the great winter leagues, there’s been baseball to watch almost every single day since the World Series ended — trust me, I’ve watched as much of it as possible!! But now, MLB is up! And the WBC!! BASEBALL IS THE BEST !!!

Repping in the World Baseball Classic!

I love these explanations. These are super helpful for my students!

Did you spot the aurora earlier this week? This timely edition of #PeriodicGraphics in @cenmag.bsky.social looks at what causes the aurora and the science behind the different colours: cen.acs.org/environment/... #PeriodicGraphics#Chemsky 🧪

Very faint #aurora in E Massachusetts ~6:30pm. Nothing since, but might be low on horizon here.

January 2026's sky is full of cosmic highlights you can spot with just your eyes. 🧪 🔭 Use our sky charts to find constellations, track planets, and plan your best nights to look up!

Science teachers, are you following along with this research expedition to the Thwaites Glacier, Antarctica? 🇦🇶 Excited to show my classes next week & grateful for these videos!

Fantastic resource!

Do you know the story behind the Tree for Boston? After the 1917 Halifax Explosion, Boston sent a train of supplies and relief personnel to help survivors. In 1918, Nova Scotia sent Boston a Christmas tree as thanks. The tradition was officially revived in 1971 and continues today. 🎄✨

Mention of hurricanes in the Caribbean! Impact on naval battle plans. #HATM #ScienceOfHistory

I’m so grateful to be a part of the @retroreport.org Council of Educators. The best professional development is always learning from other teachers! 🌟

#Aurora in Massachusetts

From a teacher who uses your excellent maps, graphs, & charts, Thank You, @ourworldindata.org 🗺️📊📉

Teachers, check out this incredible all-in-one resource! There are even suggestions for “if you have 5 minutes” or “if you have 20 minutes” etc. We are just starting our unit next week, so this is perfect timing. Very grateful for @climatecentral.org 🌎

We are so lucky to have him in Boston! ⭐️

Congratulations to Ceddanne Rafaela on his first career Gold Glove Award!

Second all of these video choices! The “Future of” series of short docs is terrific. Highly recommend “Future of Water” and “Future of Cities”. Great for several subject topics. 💛 🎥

WCK is in Jamaica ahead of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa’s landfall. The storm is expected to bring destructive winds, torrential rain & widespread flooding. We’re working with local partners to serve meals as quickly as possible. Read more: wck.org/news/hurricane-melissa #ChefsForJamaica

I love volunteering for Zooniverse projects. The directions, examples, and tips are very easy to follow. Looking forward to joining this one. Highly recommend! 🌤️🌧️💨

Conditions will be just right for viewing this year, around the peak on October 21st. 🌠🌌🌑

Salt marshes are powerful protectors—buffering coastlines from storms, supporting fisheries like lobster and scallops, and locking away carbon. But what happens in these vital ecosystems during the winter months? 👉 Find out: go.whoi.edu/JuliaGuimond

This video is an incredible tribute to the most inspirational scientist of my lifetime. ❤️ #JaneGoodall

Cedanne is the best!!!

It’s true! I love @retroreport.org videos for my science classes!

Did NASA just discover the best evidence yet of ancient life on Mars? 👽🪐🧪 NASA’s Perseverance rover recently discovered colorful mineral deposits on the Bright Angel formation in Jezero Crater, features that scientists think could be biosignatures, or fossil-like traces of ancient microbes.

Teachers, look at this amazing resource! Thank you so much @compoundchem.com ⚗️🧪👩‍🔬

A Blood Moon is coming on September 7, and over 6.2 billion people will be able to see it! 🌕🧪 This total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into Earth’s darkest shadow, causing it to glow red from sunlight refracted through our atmosphere. #LunarEclipse #Astronomy #Space #BloodMoon

Day 1 in the books! Played my favorite science game, from the old Overnight program at @museumofscience.bsky.social & students did a great job collaborating. I love my classes! 📚🚍🏫

Amazon, Google, and Microsoft's data centers are consuming water in drought-ridden areas and seizing land in Chile, Mexico, and Spain. AI Fellow @pjarandia.bsky.social, @dandiba.bsky.social, and Muriel Alarcón, reveal –for @elpaiscyt.bsky.social– how these centers are built. bit.ly/4lADqe3

Furthest I’ve been: N: Bremerhaven, Germany E: Sydney, Australia S: Cape Town, South Africa W: Honolulu, Hawaii

Teachers, here is an outstanding resource to use for the upcoming 80th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

You could see a shooting star every three minutes with the Delta Aquarids meteor shower! 🌠 The Delta Aquarids, known for their fast, faint yellow streaks, are active from July 18 to August 12, peaking overnight July 28 to 29 with ideal dark-sky conditions thanks to a crescent moon. 🧪

Teachers, are you starting to plan ahead for the start of your school year? Are you looking for new ideas? This interactive map from @retroreport.org is a great place to start! Find local and/or regional short docs to kick off class discussions about your community.

Your annual reminder of science’s foundational role in US history: on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was first publicly read, in Philadelphia, from a platform originally built for astronomers to observe the 1769 Transit of Venus—science was the literal platform for revolution

Can you spot this cosmic bull’s-eye? 🌌 Don’t miss a rare morning sky show on July 12! Venus aligns with Aldebran—the red “eye” of Taurus—creating a rare double-dot in the dawn sky. Look east about 90 minutes before sunrise to catch this alignment. Your next chance? 2028.
