And weโre back!!
Middle school science teachers finally spent time this morning critically thinking, digging into @NGSS student evidence statements and working together with grade-level colleagues.
It was simply the best. ๐๐ผ๐ @bv_schools #bvscience
7th grade entrepreneurs are sharing their ideas and inventions in front of a panel of Shark Tank Judges! Entrepreneurs created a business plan with a valuation of their idea, analyzed equity & percentages for negotiations, then pitched in hopes of receiving a deal! @LeawoodMiddle
Check out these Prairie Star Panthers setting up and testing their self-powered cars in Mr. Berthelsenโs Pre-Engineering class ๐๐๐พ @PSMSBV@BV_Science#Engineering#STEMeducation
What better way to start a Monday than with some excavating in the classroom?! LMS students used a variety of tools to carefully remove dirt and debris from different kinds of fossils. #handsonlearning#leawoodmiddle#scienceactivities
7th grade students spent this morning testing their self-propelling airboats powered by a single electric motor! Students designed, manufactured and tested their boats in their classesโ Swamp Canal. How cool is Mr. Berthelsenโs setup?! #prairiestar#bvschools#Engineering@PSMSBV
Happy Election Day
Proud to live in a country with a democracy! In addition to casting my vote today, I am learning more about Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, a Chinese immigrant who as a teen, became an influential and vocal voice for the womanโs suffrage movement. #vote2020ย #19thAmendment
At Prairie Star, Mrs. Gabelโs classes are wrapping up some Moon & Mars research with a @canva infographic! Students are analyzing evidence to persuade others to explore one of these locations. Which would you explore? @PSMSBV @bv_schools #earthspace#6thgradescience
Cell Analogy Project: @mr._ogorman โs students created some outstanding analogies to represent a 3D cell! One student created a Minecraft hotel to virtually explain multiple parts and functions of a cell! @prairiestarmiddle @bvschools#middleschoolscience#biology#lifescience
After 7 long months, we have now had students in the building for 45 minutes. Iโve already seen an egg-drop challenge, a science experiment centered on energy, and a new student say, โEveryone is nice here.โ Letโs go!!! ๐๐ป
