G6 students density Challenges @ISZL 1. How can we calculate the %of sugar in @CocaCola Classic using density?
2. How can we make the Power Ranger float?
3. Why does an orange float but a peeled one sink? #inquiry #scienceisfun #density #NSTA @AllThingsMidSch

This month, instead of doing walkthroughs, do tag outs. Go to a teacher’s classroom, take over, & send them to walkthrough the rooms of their peers.
They will learn more from them than you.
You will learn more from teaching than preaching.

@Demetroula7 @ISZL @KRamibuhl @AllThingsMidSch @Dequanne @ISZL students did a fantastic job. Some G7 Ss got 4th and 5th out of 10 teams competing with G8-10 students. It was a pleasure to listen to so many thoughtful analytical discussions on how to solve some scientific problems.
