The thinking from @PinecrestSOARS 5th grade students is out of this world. They are making a model of the solar system using their mathematical reasoning skills and comparing the planets.

Our Kindergarten students had a special visit from our friends at the @NaplesZoo! They learned all about alligators and even got to touch a real alligator hide! Thanks, @CollierScience, for the fun experience!

Early release day allowed for teachers at @hceotters to have professional learning on blending inquiry with explicit instruction. We are teaching just enough just in time to allow students to do the thinking. #MoonPhases #HandsonLearning

Our 4th graders are getting hands-on with science! 🧪✨ Today, students rotated through different science stations where they explored, observed, measured, and recorded their findings. @CollierScience

[Collier Science Dept @CollierScience]

Starting the year strong in 5th grade at @BearCreekCubs with creating models to explain the scientific concept of heat transfer. #ScienceandEngineeringPractices #handsonlearning #sensemaking

K-12 Science teachers from Lee and @collierschools getting some @evergfoundation PL on a Saturday. 🤓💧🚰🐊🦩

[Shanna Moss @ScienceWithMoss]

Today we are modeling how land and water heat and cool differently. Students will use their data to explain how this uneven heating and cooling causes movement in the atmosphere @ROARMMS

[Collier Science Dept @CollierScience]

5th grade science teachers learning about vocabulary strategies for ELL students.

[Collier Science Dept @CollierScience]

4th grade ZooCon is live from @NaplesZoo on the education channel. Join our National Geographic Explorer @lukedollar share his knowledge of lemurs with our students.

[Collier Science Dept @CollierScience]

Our next two stops are at @HLELeaderInMe @LearningatLTE @pcr for 4th graders to learn the adventurous side of science with @lukedollar @NaplesZoo

[Collier Science Dept @CollierScience]

Starting this Thursday with @lukedollar explains what it’s like to be a scientist with 4th graders at @EPEBobcats

[Collier Science Dept @CollierScience]

Our teachers warming up their drawing skills. I can’t wait to see how they help their students practice science with nature journaling. @NaplesBotanical

[Collier Science Dept @CollierScience]

Elementary science teachers practiced nature journaling and how to incorporate into our lessons. Thank you @NaplesBotanical for partnering on this training.

[Collier Science Dept @CollierScience]

District PL day was filled with collaboration, hands on activities, and deepening our understanding of @DiscoveryEd curriculum.
