Great first day of Cutting Edge Science Camp @emeadowschools with Columbia University. Students got to explore topics related to bacteria making BioArt then exploring the Microbiome! @dharls1 @TerryRenna7 @jameshmccabe @AlisonThoben

@KatieCaccamo @aabanavas @WTClarkeMS @jmiraglia31 I love how genuinely shocked (and proud) he is!

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

How strong are 3 pieces of computer paper and 3 index cards?! Three science textbooks, strong! Thanks @aabanavas for sharing this fun mini-STEM challenge, with us, to get our engineering brains thinking @WTClarkeMS. @jmiraglia31

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

Well, this was a first! First time in 25 years that a student tried gum, for the first time @WTClarkeMS. Thanks for letting me share these pics, Ruben! What do you think? Is he a fan? @jmiraglia31 @lizkinsella93

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

It’s that time of year, again, @WTClarkeMS… Gum Lab, time! Students had a great time figuring out which brand of gum had the most flavor, longest! @jmiraglia31 @lizkinsella93

We had so much fun building free-standing marshmallow towers in Enrichment @WTClarkeMS. A special thanks to @LifeIsG34043706 for organizing such a great activity!

Dear Friend @WTClarkeMS, you made my day! Thank you❤️!!

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

Are we learning about types of rocks, or are we having a sing-off?! Periods 5 and 6 went head to head, today, completely unprompted. Gotta love 6th grade science @WTClarkeMS ! @jmiraglia31

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

Last week we had a “Crime Scene” in Room 233, and now, a visit from an E.T. to start our Astronomy Unit?! @WTClarkeMS is looking like a hoppin’ place that’s “outta this world!” #anotherfunfriday @jmiraglia31

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

We had a little situation @WTClarkeMS today, during our “Mystery Matter” culminating activity. No worries, CSI investigators are on the case, and suspects are already being interrogated. #forensicsfriday @jmiraglia31

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

Nothing says fun, as much as an outdoor field trip where we focused on communication and team building! @WTClarkeMS

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

Every Friday is a “Fun Friday” @WTClarkeMS! Today, we explored the steps of the scientific method while performing a “gum lab.” We had a mass-ive… popping-ly… good time!

It was fun flying through the trees at The Adventure Park with @WTClarkeMS

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

Hello? Can you hear me?
Of course they can @WTClarkeMS because sound travels through their cup phones!

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

Who needs plate tectonics @WTClarkeMS when you have “Snack Tectonics?!” #geologyrocks @jmiraglia31

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

Who said learning can’t be fun, or delicious, @WTClarkeMS ? @jmiraglia31 #oreophasesofthemoon

When you don’t have “Holiday Character” outfits, you pull out the festive wear! @WTClarkeMS @jmiraglia31 #holidayspiritweek

[Maria Santodonato @MSantodonato1]

There’s gnome place like Clarke Middle School. Big Bird is hanging with her gnomies! The science department is bad to the gnome! @WTClarkeMS #gnomehalloween

[Mrs. Shyman @agoglialori]

The 6th graders kicked off the week with some fun kickball games! @WTClarkeMS @IHartELA @MSantodonato1
