Toy Olympics! That’s a toy monkey, walking on his hands lol Students are calculating speed using distance and time. #bowiems #irvingisd #sciencerules

[Dane Kees 🔑 @Kees_Sci]

Even though she’ll never see this, @WakaBlocker is the best at everything! She keeps our Dept on point and creates some of the best lessons I’ve ever seen! I wanna be like her when I grow up! #iisdfaves @PDdesignteam

Learning about the Earth, sun, and moon in motion #STATCAST19 Whoever said science isn’t fun should meet Jody Hodges, the OG Ms. Frizzle!

Balloon Rockets today to show Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion Action-Reaction. #BowieNation

[Whitney Blocker @WakaBlocker]

Stations because practice makes perfect!

[Whitney Blocker @WakaBlocker]

Bubbles from boiling water isn’t a chemical reaction. Students investigate chemical reaction misconceptions and explained why these are not signs of a chem rxn.

[Whitney Blocker @WakaBlocker]

Tackling some misconceptions. Did you know some kids think that every color change indicates a chemical reaction occurred! 🥴 Investigating expected vs unexpected color change here.

@yodascienceman @IrvingBowie_MS Will you be doing this during 8th period? I wanna see!

[Dane Kees 🔑 @Kees_Sci]

Always great to be back with my Science Crew! #ScienceRules @IrvingISD #MyIrvingISD #Learn2inspire #BowieMSNation @yodascienceman @MrChandlerBMS @judymaeker @IrvingBowie_MS

[Dane Kees 🔑 @Kees_Sci]

And it's always great to start off the year giving @WakaBlocker a big "L" on that Moon Phases Spin game! #KeesRules #BlockerDrools

Thank you Apple Classroom! I can check for understanding all at once 🙌🏾. #dpvils #BowieMSNation #BowieNation

[Whitney Blocker @WakaBlocker]

Exploring how biodiversity contributes to the sustainability of an ecosystem! Students created their creatures then monitored its survival during environmental changes. #BowieNation BONUS: Had a great social/emotional teachable moment about how being unique and different is good!

@Kees_BMS @Mrs_Mallard8 @IrvingBowie_MS @iInstructIrving “What in the world?” 😂 I laugh every time I hear her say that!

[Diane Mallard @Mrs_Mallard8]

It’s fun to hear our students talk about science and see them actually enjoy it during Q & A time! S/O to @WakaBlocker for the great idea!
