Students weathered the jolly ranchers down in a glass jar and then layered the flavors in a small cup. After layering they compacted and added pressure to cement it all together.

Whole-class workshop on Electromagnetic Spectrum vocabulary, visual representations, and real-world application with note-taking modeling, digital supplements, and House Points w/ Mr. @MrBeave13599768 and Ms. @Sanchez_STEAM today! #STEAMlearns#SciChat#engage2learn
Today our 8th graders built roller coasters to identify potential & kinetic energy along with Newton's forces! It was a CRAZY day with marbles flying everywhere but they did awesome. I was impressed by their engineering and collaboration skills. ๐ข

7th graders reviewed the indicators of physical & chemical changes while working on their scientific writing skills with a CER (claim, evidence and reasoning).
Let's just say, it was a good day. And their writing, observations and focus blew me away! #steamlearns#steamscience
Today, our 8th graders discovered if their M&Ms were made in New Jersey or Tennessee by the color percent distribution! Also, they used the metric system to find various measurements. #crosscurricular#steamlearns#steamscience Special thanks to @ironsclassrules for this unit!
@Sanchez_STEAM We have to meet students where they are (the digital world) w/o letting them off the hook for growing and learning in new skills and spaces not yet mastered or explored.
How is the world changing? How are we as teachers, educators and administration changing with it? Meet them where they are at, which is in digital space. Look around. #bisdconvo19
We are seeing robots/machines evolve our industries. How do we equip our students with human only skills? Creativity. Emotional intelligence. Cognitive Flexibility. #bisdconvo19
