All smiles in science class today because we got to do a fun experiment. I love when my students are engaged and having a good time. Shout out to @SHill_DMS and @youngedu for coming in and participating with my 1st period. Get you an admin like ours. #goldstandard
Ss in @hendrixscience class are applying concepts of chemical reactions in a vinegar & baking soda experiment. ACAP Bell Ringer โ , very organized interactive notebookโ , and an engaging lab experience โ @dms_tcboe#GoldStandard
Ss in @hendrixscience class had an amazing day at the ZIP Bus (ZSpace Lab) exploring Energy's effect on matter through simulations. ๐ฌ๐ฅ There's nothing like a simulation to bring complex concepts to life! ๐ #ScienceEducation#STEM#GoldStandard@dms_tcboe
I love letting my Ss teach each other. This week we learned about the element families. Each group became an expert on 3 families. Today in 1st period, we got to move around and teach each other about our families. So fun! ๐ฅผ๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ฌ๐จ๐ปโ๐ฌ #GoldStandard@dms_tcboe
We are loving the AMSTI ACAP Math Student Experience! The students are currently learning how to successfully utilize a scientific calculator on Desmos! So fun! โ๏ธ๐โ๏ธ #goldstandard@dms_tcboe
Ss in @hendrixscience class went through a hexagonal thinking activity based around the Periodic Table. Ss analyzed patterns within the table and explained connections utilizing textual evidence. #GoldStandard@dms_tcboe
Ss in @hendrixscience class played Taboo this morning using their content vocabulary. We scaffolded up by having students create their own words using their periodic table knowledge. Ss were engaged and using meaningful discourse in their conversations. #GoldStandard@dms_tcboe
We started our Roller Coaster PBL this week and when I tell you that these kids are ROCKSTARS, they are. The conversations my students have had today about their projects have been AMAZING. So glad I get to witness these moments. โ ๐ข๐ฅผ#goldstandard@dms_tcboe
In @hendrixscience class, Ss are applying their knowledge of the Newtonโs Laws by participating in trials and calculating speed. Check out that learning target with the BDA. @dms_tcboe
Let me tell yโall something that I LOVE about working at DMS. Weโre always working to make our kiddos better. Today we finished our WIN time lesson early, so we decided to work on some multiplication. #goldstandard@dms_tcboe
Today we are putting our understanding of potential and kinetic energy to the test. Weโre creating Google drawings of scenarios to show PE, KE, and gravity at different points. ๐ข #GoldStandard@dms_tcboe
@hendrixscience is using her AMSTI Kits to teach her Ss to identify and explain the forces of nature that create electromagnetism. Ss are creating electromagnetic models. @dms_tcboe
Today Ss completed our Fortune Teller Fish Lab. The students made predictions, observations and so much more today. While doing this, we also worked on our procedures for my classroom. ๐ฎ๐๐ #GoldStandard@dms_tcboe
This is engagement on another level. This project is not only fun but there are so many of components of critical thinking. @hendrixscience 8th grade ss are looking forward to the sโmores but they understand the science as well. @dms_tcboe
Today my students created a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar. We used the gas that was released to blow up a balloon. ๐๐ฉโ๐ฌ #GoldStandard@dms_tcboe
