Check out some of our students who were out and about learning at the Glazer Children's Museum, @floridaaquarium, Tampa Museum of Art, @NaturesClassRm, and through a Day of Service with @HillsboroughFL!
We’re proud to invest in experiences that inspire curiosity today and help prepare our students for brighter futures tomorrow.
LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM! 🤩 Starting this school year, every PreK through 8th Grade student in Hillsborough County Public Schools has the opportunity to experience a standards-aligned field trip at no cost to schools or families, thanks to our millage referendum.
From exploring the world of science and art to serving our community and discovering new career possibilities, these experiences bring classroom learning to life and give students opportunities to explore, ask questions, make connections, and see their learning in action.
My students and I love hands on learning - especially when it’s “so cool it doesn’t matter that it’s gross”! We dissected owl pellets this week to learn how owls get their energy and made some great discoveries! @WeAreHAEST@HCPSElemScience@LowryElementary@HCPS_STEM
FUN learning activity after FAST Writing!
Academic Language / Vocab Art 🤩 Students picked their word(s) from a bucket, drew their word, then participated in a gallery walk to observe and determine their classmates’ words!

Students actively engaged in the 25k Pyramid Activity! 🥳 We’ve used this strategy to review previously taught concepts and prior to a CMA!

The March STEAM Family Challenge has egg carton flowers in full bloom! These beautiful projects produced 3- Dimensional labeled models in such creative ways. Home/ School connections are happening @Bellamy_Bobcats@WeAreHAEST@HCPS_STEM@HCPSElemScience
More 5th grade since sightings @HCPSGraham ...students were able to be 🐦 s and find out how moth adaptations make it easier or hard for them to 😋 btain food! Great way to learn how organisms affect the environment around them! @WeAreHAEST@HCPSElemScience@HCPSTNRegion2
The BEST days are hands-on SCIENCE days!! Check out Ms. Melgaard’s class dissecting owl pellets! These are the learning moments that last with kids forever! ❤️🦉🔎@CarrollwoodK8@CarrollwoodMed1@CESPTA@HCPSElemScience
SALSA SCIENTISTS
From a flowering tomato plant to making salsa, these scientists documented every step of the way with detailed observation notes in their LTI notebook! Science is filled with spicy surprises! @Bellamy_Bobcats@HCPSElemScience@WeAreHAEST@HCPS_STEM
Thank you to The Sierra Club for the grant for our Roots n Shoots team, and the future partnership with Roots n Shoots, GreenTeam, and our soon to be agriculture opportunities, both on campus and in the community!
