@RBrunsWest @Cunningly@SadowskiScience@WMS_Mardis Favorite run-of-the-mill mammal-otter. What about the magical monotremes(egg-layers)? Those are the real warriors. Did you know that echidnas can basically survive wildfires by going into torpor? They kick booty! But don't kick them-ouch! And don't get me started on the platypus!
Students had a fun time finding transparent, translucent, and opaque objects to demonstrate the transmission, reflection, and absorption of light waves. @westvikings@Szydlowskim#westisbest
West students had a blast in this beautiful weather attending CAFNR Day at MU. They learned so much about career choices in ag, and they had the opportunity to share their personal goals. #westisbest@Szydlowskim@westvikings@cafnr@HOMRPDC @CPSAVID
Relevant learning! Last week we touched on electromagnetic radiation, starting with low energy radio waves. Next week we tour the spectrum, including X-rays. Today, the radiologist dropped mad X-ray knowledge! You bet I got my images on disk!#curvygirls#vandyspine#scolio

The WMS Science Dept. screened ''Won't You Be My Neighbor" (Mr. Rogers documentary) during RTI last week. Here are a couple of responses, from two very thoughtful 7th graders, which blew me away. We have such wonderful kiddos at West! 💓 #westisbest@Szydlowskim@westvikings
