🌋 The volcanoes have awakened! 💥
After days of planning, building, and learning about Earth's powerful geologic forces, Mrs. Hulick's Earth Science students finally put their volcanoes to the test. The eruptions were a huge success!

✈️ Learning took flight last week!
Mrs. Hulick's students participated in a paper airplane challenge, applying engineering, problem solving, and critical thinking skills as they designed, tested, and improved their aircraft. @david_coccoli@VAeducatorLBI@VickyHulick
🌋 Big things are bubbling up in Earth Science!
Mrs. Hulick's students have been hard at work designing and building their own volcano models as we dive into plate tectonics, volcanic activity, and Earth’s powerful geologic processes. @david_coccoli@VAeducatorLBI@VickyHulick
Students in Mrs. Hulick's Earth Science class became paleontologists for the day as they used fossil evidence and relative dating techniques to compare rock layers and determine the age of fossils. @david_coccoli@VAeducatorLBI@VickyHulick
Proud of my Earth & Environmental Science students top scoring in the district again!
Even more meaningful is the growth.A reminder that all students can succeed with the right opportunities.
Congratulations!

Students in Mrs. Hulick’s Environmental Science class collected data on native grasses to assess their health before replanting. and learning how ecosystems function and how human decisions can support environmental restoration. @david_coccoli@VAeducatorLBI@VickyHulick
in Mrs. Hulick’s class, learning was hands-on (and a little sweet)! Students explored the rock cycle using Starbursts to model how rocks change over time. Learning never tasted so good!

Ms. Hulick's Environmental Science students collected and analyzed soil core samples this week to study soil horizons, composition, and human impact. There’s no substitute for real field work. The world is our laboratory. 🌎 @david_coccoli@vibrown68@VAeducatorLBI@VickyHulick
Mrs. Hulick’s AP Environmental Science students are breaking into minerals to examine their structure, properties, and value. Every detail tells a story.
Identifying minerals really does rock!

Mrs. Hulick's students modeled the rock cycle and plate tectonics using Starburst candies, exploring how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks form and change over time. Science in action! @VickyHulick@david_coccoli@vibrown68@VAeducatorLBI
Mrs. Hulick's Earth Science students transformed 2D topographic maps into 3D models! By turning contour lines into physical landscapes, students deepened their understanding of elevation, landforms, and spatial reasoning. @david_coccoli@vibrown68@VAeducatorLBI@VickyHulick
There’s something powerful about students working with physical maps. Mrs. Hulick's students practice using map keys and scales to calculate travel distances and time between locations in Virginia. @david_coccoli@VAeducatorLBI@VAeducatorLBI@VickyHulick
Mrs. Hulick's Earth Science students have become meteorologists! They used tools to measure wind speed and calculate elative humidity, observed cloud types, sky conditions, and other factors to make data-based predictions.

Honored to have my students achieve the highest CSA scores this quarter across all my classes in Hampton City Schools!
This isn’t just about numbers, it’s about leadership, relationships, setting high expectations, and empowering students to succeed. I’m proud of them all!
