AI Prompt of the Week
Copy & Paste this Prompt
‘I would like you to design a 20-minute interactive classroom activity to teach 5th-grade students about Sound Waves, Frequency, and Amplitude. The activity should explain these fundamental concepts in a simple and clear way and include a hands-on experiment or demonstration using materials that students can easily bring from home (e.g., rubber bands, water-filled glasses, mobile apps). The experiment should illustrate how sound waves propagate, how frequency relates to pitch (low-high sounds), and how amplitude affects the loudness of sound. At the end of the activity, students should engage in a brief discussion to reflect on their observations and connect the lesson to real-world examples. The activity should be engaging, age-appropriate, and encourage active participation while providing clear instructions and a list of required materials.’
AI in the Classroom
AI Search is Transforming Education & Research
AI search tools are reshaping how students find, evaluate, and use information, making research faster and learning more engaging. With credible sources, transparency, and ethical AI use, educators can guide students toward critical thinking over copy-pasting. How can AI enhance—not replace—traditional learning?
Your Resource Corner
Using Solar Power in Antarctica!
How do explorers use solar energy in the most remote places on Earth? In this video, Antony Jinman shares how renewable energy powers expeditions in Antarctica, supporting research on climate change and microplastics. A perfect way to spark curiosity about sustainability in your classroom!
Sustainability Spotlight
Closing the Education Gap for SEND Students
Early interventions could transform SEND education, yet funding gaps leave schools and families in limbo. The Bridge model offers hope—but can it last? What needs to change for true inclusion?
Challenge of the Week
Artificial Intelligence for the Ocean
Bring marine biology and AI together at your classroom! Use Twin Code Lab to create a smart robot that recognizes ocean creatures. Train AI with image recognition technology and inspire your students to explore scientific discoveries! ????
Simulation Lab
Sound Waves ???
Help students see and manipulate sound! This simulation lets them adjust frequency and amplitude, visualize how sound travels, and explore real-world applications in music and acoustics. A hands-on way to bring sound science to life!
Community Shoutout
Learning Through Competition – Through My Students' Eyes
From our Teacher Community, teacher Sercan used the Multiplayer Mode in the Twin Educator Portal to make learning fun and gathered student feedback on the experience. Their insights inspired both teachers and the Twin team!
Behind the Scenes
?? STEM for Sustainability Education is Growing in Rwanda!
Since December, the YGA World Science Movement program has been working alongside Rwandan educators to make science and technology more accessible to students. Led by educators, driven by community science with conscience is reaching more students across Africa!
Feel free to share this newsletter with any colleagues who might find it helpful—we're always excited to welcome more educators into our community!
Best regards,
