It’s dissection day! 7th graders have begun frog dissections. Today we’re looking at the external features of the frog and making comparisons to the human body! Tomorrow we’ll take a closer look at the features inside. 🐸 #everestpride #handsonlearning

Loved watching my incredibly talented and creative students present their Human Body Systems Projects in class today. They blew me away with their topics, connections to their own lives, and depth of research and subsequent knowledge. #everestpride @DCEMS67 @DCEverestSchool

Students are wrapping up their Human Body Systems projects in class today. We’ll share out gallery style tomorrow. It’s been so cool watching Ss connect with family and friends with their topics! #everestpride #handsonlearning #humanbody @DCEMS67 @DCEverestSchool

📢Today is the day!📢 It’s been only 3.5 short weeks using our @ForkFarms hydroponics units and we are ready to harvest! @DCEMS67 school food staff are so excited for these greens to make a debut at lunch next week! #everestpride #hydroponics #handsonlearning #farmtofork

Walked in this morning and was shocked at how much growth there was in our @ForkFarms units over the weekend. Romaine calm @DCEMS67! 🤣 We’ll have some fresh lettuce very soon! 🥬💚

[Melissa Murphy @MrsMMurph]

Incredible growth in our @ForkFarms hydroponic units in just two short weeks! Our kids cannot wait to harvest this lettuce soon for our food service program! @DCEverestSchool @DCEMS67 #hydroponics #growgreen #handsonlearning

Students at @DCEMS67 planted our green star and romaine seedlings in our @ForkFarms unit today! Kids are so excited to harvest lettuce in 3-4 weeks. Again, huge thanks to Greenheck Foundation, Delta Dental, and the Everest Foundation for the grant money that made this possible!

Amazing day at @DCEMS_67 as we welcomed Steve from @ForkFarms to help us set up and start training with our 8 new Fork Farm units. Couldn’t have done this without the generosity of 3 local grant opportunities - Greenheck Foundation, Delta Dental, and the Everest Foundation!

Students are completing a scavenger hunt around @DCEMS_67 today. We are comparing cells to our school to better understand each organelle’s function! #everestpride

[Melissa Murphy @MrsMMurph]

My 7th graders have become experts on using their microscopes! We’re checking out some different substances (snow, sugar, dog hair, etc.). They’ll show me all their knowledge on Wednesday with a lab practical. 🔬🦠🧫

[Melissa Murphy @MrsMMurph]

Dissecting beans in science class today. Students are exploring the germination process of dicots by exploring soaked pinto beans. We’ll draw connections to our Wisconsin Fast Plants tomorrow! #handsonlearning #experiment @DCEMS67

DCEMS students are out in the prairie trying to identify as many species as possible using the @inaturalist Seek app on their iPads. It’s been a beautiful morning outside! #everestpride @DCEMS_67

7D students are working on training our chicks to identify colors and shapes. The students are less than impressed with the chicks’ listening skills. 🐥 #everestpride @DCEMS_67

Exploring molecular interactions with models and common household items at WSST this morning. Big thanks to MSOE’s Anne-Marie Nickel for the great lab activity! #wsst #sciencelearning #handsonlearning

[Melissa Murphy @MrsMMurph]

Students are making edible models of cells undergoing mitosis! We’re using Oreos and sprinkles to create our models and our @Logitech crayons to mark up photos and explain our knowledge! #everestpride #dce2020 #edtech #EdTechMonday @FelecityTreptow @TTrzebiatowski

[Melissa Murphy @MrsMMurph]

Ss creating with our classroom set of Logitech Crayons 🖍 today in science class! We’re making connections and creating visual vocabulary to solidify the scientific terms in our current unit on DNA. 🧬 #everestpride #dce2020 #everyonecancreate @Logitech
