@bradmcurrie @BraggSchoolCSD My pleasure! What an awesome bunch of young scientists!

[Michael Stagg @WxManStagg]

@MsCCahill @BraggSchoolCSD @WeAreChesterNJ Thanks for having me! Great young scientists in that crew!

Last week in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS we used microscopes to look for evidence of life. This week we developed experiments to prove the theory of spontaneous generation wrong, complete with a gallery walk to share with our peers. Onward to Cell Theory! #WeAreChesterNJ

Great first week in 7th grade @BlackRiverMS ! We planted seeds, sorted out classroom rules, stacked cups without our hands, and evaluated group dynamics with puzzles. Can't wait to see what next week holds! #WeAreChesterNJ

Thank you @johnmarshall_wx for an awesome assembly today @BlackRiverMS! This program has it all: STEM topics, weather concepts, green screen fun and career exploration. Special thanks to the @EFChesters for bringing this program to our school!

This week in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS we modeled the process of photosynthesis to show how plants synthesize glucose and trap the Sun's energy. Good times! #WeAreChesterNJ

Good times today in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS. My students rocked the Locked Cabinet Breakout by applying their knowledge of cells! #WeAreChesterNJ

[Michael Stagg @WxManStagg]

Are animals, plants, and cells all that similar? Let's sort and compare life sustaining functions to find out. @BlackRiverMS #WeAreChesterNJ

Cell organelle scavenger hunt with my 7th grade scientists @BlackRiverMS. I wonder what this one does? #WeAreChesterNJ

[Michael Stagg @WxManStagg]

7th grade scientists had a great time today developing a model to show the levels of organization in living things. @BlackRiverMS #WeAreChesterNJ

Check out this elodea photosynthesize!

Over the past couple of days my awesome 7th grade scientists @BlackRiverMS searched for signs of life when given various specimens. Overall consensus: look for cells, movement, and evidence of life processes. #WeAreChesterNJ

[Michael Stagg @WxManStagg]

First day lab @BlackRiverMS: create a green solution without mixing dyes or water. We'll evaluate the best technique tomorrow! #WeAreChesterNJ

[Michael Stagg @WxManStagg]

What an awesome first marking period it was in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS! We explored the characteristics of living things, levels of biological organization, Cell Theory, and cell anatomy. Onward we go! #WeAreChesterNJ

@cullenclass Thanks for the shout out! I'll be writing a blog post this afternoon, but feel free to stop by for an update!

[Michael Stagg @WxManStagg]

Great week in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS exploring sensory receptors! A bit of everything for all learners: direct instruction, note-taking practice, hands-on lab w/ data collection, content connections video lesson, and @quizizz to have fun reviewing it all! #WeAreChesterNJ

[Michael Stagg @WxManStagg]

Another awesome week in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS! We viewed specimens under a microscope to determine if they are living things, classified organisms as uni or multicellular, and practiced skills using @IXLLearning. Have a great weekend! #WeAreChesterNJ

@KruppRyan How did I miss this? Yes. So here's the new normal...winter in November/December, spring for January/February, then winter again until summer. Did I get that right?

[Michael Stagg @WxManStagg]

@LoriHotchkiss @BlackRiverMS @WeAreChesterNJ Miss you too Lori!

Got my Bulldogs gear on for @WeAreChesterNJ's Virtual Spirit Week. So proud to be part of the amazing staff at @BlackRiverMS! #WeAreChesterNJ
