Thank you Western Reserve Historical Society for an amazing experience! Our learners learned so much about timelines/number lines and different ways to display data. We can't wait to apply what we have learned when making our American Revolution timeline! @NRCSStem @OSLN

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Thank you Parma Watershed Stewardship Center for a fantastic day! Our learners had an amazing time examining real-world evidence of erosion/weathering! We can't wait to continue exploring how our local environment has been shaped over time due to natural causes! @NRCSStem @OSLN

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Our learners are trying to solve the Mystery of the Bones at Margaret Bay. We have our 3D printed bones, and a field guide of evidence we will discover along the way of our mock archeological excavation. Stay tuned to see if we can correctly identify our fossils! @OSLN @NRCSStem

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Great work, 4th grade! Check out how our polar bear display for Magic of Lights turned out! Our learners worked so hard painting, tracing, measuring, drilling, and stringing on all the lights! They should be so proud of themselves! @OSLN @NRCSStem

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

A little chilly out today, but our learners got outside and painted our Magic of Lights Display! We can't wait for the next steps of adding the screws and string lights next week! @OSLN @NRCSStem

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Thank you Rocky River Nature Center for another wonderful program! We had an amazing time learning about rocks/fossils and the history of Native Americans in our area! 🙂 @OSLN @NRCSStem

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

First steps of the Engineering Design Process happening here! 4th grade Magic of Lights project is off to a great start! Check back next week for a progress update!😀 @OSLN @NRCSStem

Time lapse of our fossils 3D printing for our simulation archeological excavation project where learners will use inferences/data to determine what kind of animal these are from! Thank you Coach Z for helping us 3D print and sharing this video with us! @OSLN @NRCSStem

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Thank you Dr. Hofman for sharing your work in anthropology with us via Zoom! Our learners learned all about studying evidence to observe change over time. We used fossils along with other collected evidence from a population of animals to see that change! @OSLN @NRCSStem

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Today our learners were making powerful observations to help them draw conclusions. We had to determine what fossils were in the 'mystery bags' based on observation techniques and discussions! Be sure to ask your learner what they discovered today! @NRCSStem @OSLN

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Our 4th graders are learning all about map skills and creating their own maps! To learn how compasses work, our learners created their own. Great job, Rangers!

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Our learners designed and built different circuits using the playdough they made yesterday! Some included motors/fans, switches, LED lightbulbs, and buzzers! They really let their creativity shine in our challenge task, as you can see below! @NRCSStem @NRCSRangers @OSLN

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Making playdough for our Squishy Circuits we are designing and building tomorrow! Learning how important measurement is when cooking or making recipes! @NRCSStem @NRCSRangers

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Polygon Sit Upons✅ Learners designed/built with their knowledge of measurement/angles/area &perimeter! Some learners even leveled up with bookbag straps & pockets.💜Problem Solving! Time to get outside and make our year in math memory books! @NRCSStem @NRCSRangers @OSLN

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Wow! Way to make RHTA proud today 4th grade and @RHTAStem7! We collected over 33 lbs of trash at our Edgewater beach clean-up! Thank you @DrinkLocalTap for a wonderful day of authentic learning, fun, and wavemaking! @OSLN @NRCSStem @NRCSRangers

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Thank you @ArtRhta for partnering with 4th grade on our timelines about recycling in Lorain County! In art Coach DiFranco worked with our 4th graders to create these UV printed tiles that will border the timeline we are developing! So cool! @NRCSStem @NRCSRangers @OSLN

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Thank you Western Reserve Historical Society!!! Our learners gathered a lot of great research about different ways of displaying timelines and showing change over time! We cannot wait to start designing our interactive timeline display! @NRCSStem @NRCSRangers @OSLN

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Thank you @RHTAGRADE8STEM for being a wonderful audience! Our 4th graders presented their Storyjumper Field Guides as their final products. These demonstrated all their evidence collected through our project on how we see change over time! Great work! @NRCSStem @NRCSRangers @OSLN

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Thank you Drink Local Drink Tap for joining 4th grade to teach us the importance of fresh water and environmental advocacy! Our learners really appreciated having an expert to answer all of their awesome questions about access to water globally! @NRCSRangers @NRCSStem @OSLN

[Coach Tobia @RHTASTEMgrade4]

Thank you Professor Schmidt from Oberlin College for speaking with our learners yesterday! We learned so much about erosion, weathering, and flooding! However, our learners biggest takeaway was ANYONE can be a scientist!💜🙂 @NRCSRangers @NRCSStem @OSLN
