I've seen bubble feeding off the coast of Cape Cod but never like this. Wow!

[Mary Thomas @MaryValleylight]

Yay Science! @BOCES4Science

2nd-grade students in @kendallcsd are learning about ecosystems. They made observations about plant growth and the behavior of betta fish. They also worked on sorting animals based on physical characteristics and habitat. #B4SSavetheBees

NYS has HS Earth Science but it's not common in the rest of the country - "only 7 percent of high schoolers take Earth-science courses".

@Albrecht_NYSTOY @BrockportCSD Sooo cool!

[Mary Thomas @MaryValleylight]

@BOCES4Science and @KathJensen Looks like some great data! #B4SSavetheBees

2nd-grade Science Conference - two classes shared their observations from yesterday's explore of the @kendallcsd Elem School Ecosystem. They made a brochure to advertise the interesting living and non-living features. #B4SSavetheBees
