We have been learning about atoms using our FLIR thermal cameras! We have learned what atoms are, that they are always moving, that atoms can transfer thermal energy in several ways, and more! I will be posting some specific ways we have used these cameras soon! @MACUL @flir

Students have been investigating how frogs develop into adults. With our display of actual frogs we are able to see these real life changes through every stage of development. Students have also been using our digital microscopes to look at the details of each stage!

@kcollazo @NCCATNews Love this! What water quality data are you collecting?

[Paul Smith @Tech_Smith1]

@HollyClarkEdu Yes! Also, right from Google Chrome on the mobile version. It’s available to click at the top left of the keyboard when entering a web address!

@unruly_studios I am a STEM teacher for 850 third through fifth graders. We would love to incorporate physical movement into our coding lessons! All 850 students would be impacted by this opportunity weekly! #UnrulyEducator

@dailystem @SarahRiveraSTEM Well water will work...well. However, my plants were using 10gal of water every few days last year. That’s a lot of water to transport.

[Paul Smith @Tech_Smith1]

@SarahRiveraSTEM @dailystem Not sure on that, my plants last year used about 10gal of water every few days though!

[Paul Smith @Tech_Smith1]

@SarahRiveraSTEM @dailystem The chlorine and other additives in tap water will damage the plants from what I have read. Reverse Osmosis is the best but I use a water filter that removes most everything I need it to. https://t.co/nURTof1hDR

[Paul Smith @Tech_Smith1]

@SarahRiveraSTEM @dailystem What kind of water will you be using?

[Paul Smith @Tech_Smith1]

@SarahRiveraSTEM @dailystem I have had good luck with this method. Some plants thrive better in a hydroponic based system so consider that. Also, you don’t want them to get too big before transferring. They sometimes look sad the first few days after transplanting. Green Beans 1.5wks after transplant in pic

Students have been making “coins” that represent an important aspect of their lives. A little history, art, digital design, and creativity all rolled into one!
