Inspire Science: McGraw Hill YouTube Channel
This YouTube channel is managed by McGraw Hill and is specifically for Inspire Science 2020 (this is our digital text book resource for 6-8 science, physical science, and biology). Use this channel to help you learn navigation through Inspire Science.
There are some live webinars still available to join, but there are several On Demand Webinars available to help you become more familiar with your Inspire Science resource! Browse these webinars to help you get more familiar with your resource (6-8, Physical Science, and Biology). The topics listed in the picture below are to help you with teaching remotely using our resource. If you go to the link above, you will scroll down and see there is an introductory course to all of the program features as well.

There's a PhET for that! This resource includes a wide variety of online lab simulations and manipulatives to illustrate scientific concepts that may be difficult to replicate in the classroom or useful during distance learning. Not all simulations work perfectly on the chromebook, but many of them do. I encourage you to do a "test run" on a student chromebook prior to assigning a PhET. Another helpful hint is there are many teacher-created resources that go along with PhET modules so before you go to the trouble of creating your own resource, try searching for your specific PhET module followed by the word "resource" and see if you can find something that is already made and available to you! Below is an example of a science PhET module.
"Instagram Stories" of Labs
Have your students take pictures and document their process of going through a lab and then create an "Instagram Story" using Google Slides. Google Slides can be recorded using Screencastify when in "Present Mode" and allow for videos and pictures to easily be embedded.
