8th graders are dissecting frogs since they missed out on the opportunity during virtual learning last year. I am happy to have the opportunity too! #alwayslearning@MLMSmuskies
📢UPDATE: Our NEW book, "What's in Your CORE?: An Educator's Guide to Plugging into Purpose & Perspective" was delayed, but is now available Sept 15th! Pre-order your copy TODAY at:

@MLMSmuskies Today, Ss explored dissolving. They learned that the M on M&M candies doesn’t dissolve and floats in water because it is nonpolar wax that is less dense than water. #science#chemistry
@MLMSmuskies Science Ss exploring the phenomenon of supercooled water and modeling frozen water molecules. How can melting ice be below 0 degrees Celsius? #scienceisfun#chemistry
@MLMSmuskies Science students bring in objects that connect to our standards. This time, a student brought in a military MRE meal to demonstrate a chemical reaction that produces heat. #authenticlearning#pl
@MLMSmuskies 8th grade Ss learned that solids expand when heated as well. We watched Ivory soap expand. Then, we applied our knowledge to write a CER on how popcorn pops. #chemistry
@MLMSmuskies 8th grade Ss predicted what would happen when a bottle of water was heated with a balloon on top and then cooled. It was pretty shocking! #chemistry#engagement
8th grade Ss are working on a song about Newton’s Laws to a popular tune. #personalizedlearning motivates students to work efficiently on required material so they can choose creative projects. #steam
@MLMSmuskies Science Ss are using #DesignThinking to build cars that can protect a raw egg. Safety components were required that extend the impulse of the crash and keep inertia from causing the egg to be ejected. #makered#pbl#science
@MLMSmuskies Science Ss are exploring personalized learning. This group proposed they create a song about Newton’s Laws. One wrote lyrics, one plays the ukulele, and one plays piano. #pl#voiceandchoice
@MLMSmuskies Ss took on the challenge to make their own Newton’s Laws experiments. They found this on the internet and demonstrated to the class. #pl#handsonscience
@MLMSmuskies practicing #pl completed a playlist of articles and videos, created a paper roller coaster, and wrote an essay using vocab. This S googled how to make something that shows Newton’s 3rd law...and he initiated this creation on his own. #lovepl#voiceandchoice#makered
@MLMSmuskies Ss came in during homeroom to do extra work on their paper roller coasters. We will mathematically determine the speed and acceleration of the marble when they are done. #pbl#handsonlearning#authenticlearning
