We thought you might enjoy a few laughs to start the new school year.
We searched for comics that mentioned science teachers on the cusp of a new school year. But we couldn’t find any! Which got us thinking: do science teachers EVER go on vacation from learning?
Perhaps not.
If you have a favorite cartoon or joke, insert it below as a comment, or email us at socialmedia@teachersource.com.

ack to school = buying new supplies.It’s one of the realities of being a teacher: you can never have enough pencils, stickers or motivational goodies to hand out on special occasions.
Our safety equipment, timers, coffee mugs and colorful lab coats are year-round favorites, but they’re especially popular at the beginning of a school year. Read on for rave reviews from science teachers, parents, and self-proclaimed science geeks.
If you have a favorite Educational Innovations product, let us know! We’d love to share your review with your fellow teachers and science lovers.

This edition of IN THE NEWS is a bit different from our other newsletters. We usually share articles about fresh science discoveries— advances in scientific research, breathtaking new photos of our universe, the discovery of a new deep ocean species… any sort of remarkable scientific event you might enjoy discussing with your students.
But this time, for our Back-to-School edition, we’ve dedicated our news search to you, the teacher. Whether you’re teaching elementary science or advanced physics, these are thought-provoking pieces that you might decide to share with a colleague… just as we are!

We’re all a little sad to see the summer vacation end, but we’re also revved up in anticipation of what this new year will hold.
The beginning of a school year is a perfect time to consider fresh ways to inspire and motivate your students to explore and learn on their own.

If you are an educator, chances are you’ve heard the phrase “flipping the classroom” being thrown around. We know that trends come and go in education about as often as front runners for the Republican presidential nomination. While I think we should be wary of jumping onto every pedagogical bandwagon that comes along, it is becoming clear that flipping the classroom is a worthwhile idea with staying power.
