Potatoes are in! 🥔 #TheMartian #schoolgarden @MTwpMS

[Mrs. Grenter @MrsGrenter]

Our #7Thunder students did an awesome job on our garden beds! I loved watching some of our students step up as leaders with this project. Next week, we plant our potatoes! 🥔

Today was construction day on our #TheMartian Project outdoor garden beds thanks to @mt_ed_foundation! #schoolgarden

@getinterwoven Hi! I am trying to reach SEArch+ about possibly speaking to our students or partnering on a Martian hab design project, but email hasn't been returned. Is there anyone you could put me in touch with? Thank you!!

@jackieteaches Ooo, this looks so awesome!!

#7Thunder used #EbD to design and build some sweet models of DNA today! @MTwpMS

[Mrs. Grenter @MrsGrenter]

Thanks to the Science in Motion program at @EtownCollege, #7Thunder investigated the ecological role of owls today by dissecting owl pellets!

Exciting things are being built in #7Thunder this week thanks to @mt_ed_foundation!! @TowerGarden #TheMartian

[Mrs. Grenter @MrsGrenter]

Today #7Thunder scientists created their own ecosystems for our Ecology Unit. Students will recording observations for about two weeks and then will carry out a human impact on the ecosystem to see how the biotic and abiotic factors inside respond. #InquiryBasedLearning

Lots of creative greenscreening happening in the #7Thunder pod today! Students are working hard on their Nature Documentaries (our performance assessment for the Characteristics of Life Unit)! #STEMforAll #STEAM @mtwpms

[Mrs. Grenter @MrsGrenter]

Today the @mtwpms Service Club volunteered at the @petpantryoflanc. Students cleaned supplies, built pet carriers, and sorted food donations.

[Mrs. Grenter @MrsGrenter]

#7Thunder received 1,000 new class pets! We set up our #vermicomposting system for #TheMartian Project. While Mark Watney used a different kind of fertilizer (💩) to grow his potatoes, we’ll be using worm castings for our potato gardens here at @mtwpms! [Funding provided by MTEF]

[Mrs. Grenter @MrsGrenter]

#7Thunder had a very exciting day Friday! Thanks to #MTEF we launched what will be a 6-month long interdisciplinary project based on the novel #TheMartian. Students competed in their first challenges as Martian Mission Groups - Simon Says and a Lander STEM Challenge. #PBL @MTwpMS

[Manheim Township SD @ManheimTownship]

7th grade students in Mrs. Grenter and Mr. Clarke's class, got to work on an interdisciplinary project that culminated in a STEM challenge!

Students learned about density and ancient civilization boat design and were challenged to create their own Sphero powered boats!

The “Mr. Hull” pulls into port to collect cargo. @MTwpMS

[Mrs. Grenter @MrsGrenter]

#7Thunder made quite a splash during our Pool Challenge. Social Studies and Science students navigated their boats using a @Sphero into each of four ports, picked up cargo, and then returned. A huge thank you to @jackieteaches for helping us with this project! #STEMforAll #PBL

[Mrs. Grenter @MrsGrenter]

A day full of prototyping, problem solving, and innovative solutions. #7Thunder is getting ready to set sail in the High School pool on Monday! #STEMforAll #EbD #PBL @sphero @mtwpms

[Mrs. Grenter @MrsGrenter]

Today #7Thunder launched our “What Floats Your Boat” project. Students in SocialStudies and Science worked together to research boats of ancient civilizations and design their own @sphero powered boats. #PBL #EbD #STEMforAll @MTwpMS

[Mrs. Grenter @MrsGrenter]

#7Thunder scientists collected data for their Metric Measurement Performance assessment today, measuring volume, length, temperature, and time in their Bubble Inquiry investigations. 🫧 #inquirybasedlearning #authenticassessment #handsonscience @MTwpMS
