Winter ball decorations in full effect taking over the science classroom after school today. Students made snowflakes as a lunch time activity and now our school leaders are bedazzling them to be our dance decorations this Friday. ❄️😍 #TeamFCUSD #Studentcouncil

What a day! Started out with traveling to space to look at our Earth and Sun and figure out reasons for our seasons, followed by calculating the calorie energy from our food and then building a trellis for our peas and decorating stones in garden club! #TeamFCUSD #Scienceteacher

Dr. Ram’s speech at #CSTA2018 received such a powerful standing ovation for his service to our planet. He has predicted, identified, battled, and educated society on the sources of climate change. I asked him for a pic with our future climate warrior. ✊ #ActOnClimate #TeamFCUSD

Getting updates from Jet Propulsion Laboratory on InSight’s first few days on Mars! 🙌🤩 #CSTA2018

I’m beaming! During my first full day here, I broke my first record by generating more electrical power than any previous robot on the surface of #Mars. I’m in a sandy area with few rocks, soaking up the Sun. 🌞

Loving digging deeper into guiding successful #NGSS investigations. CSTA is the best family reunion of california’s science teachers. ❤️ Great selfie by @meg8girl #TeamFCUSD #csta #cascience2018 #CANGSS #CAscienceteachers

Will different liquids lose their heat heat at the same rate if we put ice cubes in them? Students figured out their variables and wrote their own procedures! #NGSS #TeamFCUSD #scienceteacher

Lots of prep work but a great hands-on activity about photosynthesis and cellular respiration (and a sprinkling in of Cons. of Mass and energy)! Building/breaking down glucose molecules over here, folks. Shout out to students helping prep molecules before school! #TeamFCUSD #NGSS

Many ooo’s and ahhh’s today as we made observations and asked questions about the geography of California using our super sweet raised topo maps. #TeamFCUSD #SacIB #6thgradescience #NGSS

It all started last year with two students gifting me a stuffed animal dog, Golgi, so Golgi didn���t have to be my imaginary pet anymore... and this year, students have wanted to add to our family of science pets and it keeps growing! 😂Welcome Mito the Dinosaur! #TeamFCUSD

Playing before school even starts, students experimented and figured out how to get their foam challenge to the top of their graduated cylinder, and wanted to slo-mo what would happen if they... #becausescience #teacherlife #TeamFCUSD #TeamFCUSDIB #Marauders

@8opps This is what I had at my old school and LOVED it! We shared the same ~160 students and had weekly meetings to support students and go over curriculum in our classes.
