#5 Egg Drop Tips: We purposely picked a location that had 3 different possible landing surfaces- bushes (ocean), cement (runway) or grass (natural). This opens the door to learning about how NASA chooses landing spots. #ocpsRYS#ImpactCDL@KeenesCrossingE@West_OCPS
#4 Since RYS and PMA ran so close together I started saying “Rock Your PMA” I included a PMA Doodle Sheet. I read the Q1 standard and they doodled whatever came to mind. (Really just a quick snack time activity but they LOVED it!) #ocpsRYS#ImpactCDL@KeenesCrossingE@West_OCPS
#3 There were so many SS resources to choose from!(THANK YOU!!)Today I only used excerpts from JFK’s Rice University Speech to reiterate specifically what we’ve been learning about BUT I definitely bookmarked the rest for later use!#ocpsRYS#ImpactCDL@KeenesCrossingE@West_OCPS
#2 I used the resources embedded in the RYS Google presentation to create the student packet and then added some of my own resources on skills I knew we needed more practice on (like correctly completing lab reports!) #ocpsRYS#ImpactCDL@KeenesCrossingE@West_OCPS
#1 Each rockstar was given a “set list” booklet filled with all the activities for the day. This saved a ton of time transitioning throughout the day and gave them a keepsake. Cover created with free Canva templates. #ocpsRYS#ImpactCDL@KeenesCrossingE@West_OCPS
Stay tuned- I’m sharing all the RSY resources I used to make the day run smoothly! Feel free to beg, borrow or collaborate to make next year even better!! #ocpsRYS#ImpactCDL@KeenesCrossingE@West_OCPS
Our grand finale of RYS is our Apollo 13 egg drop! We finished our novel study, prepped our desk pet astronauts and are about to watch our final capsules (hopefully) bring our astronauts home safely! 🤞🏼#ocpsRYS#ImpactCDL@KeenesCrossingE@West_OCPS
OBSESSED with our @SkypeScientist session today with @AnnakaClement! She taught us so much about fossils, rock samples and even gave us our own experiment to try in our classroom. Check out this dinosaur skin model made from casting fossils! #ocpssci5#bigidea6
The desk pet adventure is growing! Students can now purchase building permits to expand our desk pet community! Lots of STEM integration is going down! 🏗 @KeenesCrossingE
