About this Episode
This week, the dynamic duo (Scott and Ollie) discuss how critical phenomena are to ambitious and equitable science education and how it helps us go beyond "moving the chairs around." In our discussion, Scott critiques the use of Zombie Ants as a "fun" phenomenon to engage students in science. We use this discussion as a springboard into a larger conversation about how we select phenomena around which to build units in our face-to-face and online classrooms.
Things that bring us joy this week:
Ted Lasso on Apple TV+
Grey Man Series
Intro/Outro Music: Notice of Eviction by Legally Blind
Production assistance by Enzo Dreon
