Longer shadows, lower sun 🌞

Morning and afternoon shadow tracing in order to help us better understand the apparent motion of the sun. Shadows changed in even a few minutes as evidenced by the picture with the van. #earthandspacescience

Same sign, 10:45a shadow in yellow chalk ~ 1:45p shadow being traced by students. Way cool 😎

Crazy 8s: Not your usual math club. We’re having a good time playing a card game, practicing addition and social skills. #MTBoS #crazy8s

What’s my teaching WHY? Having as much fun as possible, learning as much as we can! This student certainly is helping me achieve my WHY! 💜💛#science

Our super rad Earth and sun (day/night) rotation models turned out better than I anticipated! Students edited their photos before uploading to our class Padlet. 🤩 #science #rotation

[Ms. Bunsey @BigKatMath]

Our first ESS model is in the works ~ stay tuned to see how we progress into a deeper understanding of rotation, tilting, revolution and predictable patterns of the Earth, sun and moon. #science

Students played multiplication bump to get the math minds back in action on our first day of school #MTBoS 💜💛

We are stoked to partner with the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Environmental Education Center, piloting a new schoolyard field trip program for sy 2024-25. #ecosystems

We are generating power in 5th grade science! Students calculate the watts produced by their wind turbines in this hands-on MacGyver Wind Lift lab sponsored by The Ohio Energy Project. #MTBoS #RenewableEnergy #windpower

In a 28 to 12 vote, The “Buck County Hunting Proposal” passes in 2024. We had 5 compelling student essays on both sides of this complex issue. #ecosystems

[Ms. Bunsey @BigKatMath]

“It smells like nature!” 5th grade Scientists make observations, measure growth, record notes, and interact with their eco-columns. #ecosystems #science

Friday afternoon Sound Celebration: Students created “boomboxes” that amplified music on their cell phones ~ and enjoyed a dance party. #physicalscience

[Ms. Bunsey @BigKatMath]

Keeping pets safe, making rainbows and building self sustaining ecosystems ~ that’s what we do in 5th grade at Lincoln Elementary. #MTBoS #science

[Ms. Bunsey @BigKatMath]

This is one of the most engaging projects in our 5th grade year of science: build a model of an outdoor shelter for a pet and test it out under heat lamps. All pets remained safe from the hot sun! #lightenergy #MTBoS #physicalscience

Light Bounces off the happy faces of students who solved a challenging laser maze #physicalscience #MTBoS

[Ms. Bunsey @BigKatMath]

Thank you to our wonderful music teachers for sharing their classroom and materials so we could explore The Science of Sound #physicalscience #MTBoS
