I love working with Ms. Tolliver and her students!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

6th grade students at Thorsby combined math, reading, digital literacy, and science while doing a project about various climates!

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

I think they get it!!!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

Student 1 to lab group: If cold air sinks, shouldn’t cold water sink?
Student 2: So when we add hot it should go to the top?

We love when a plan for teaching 6th grade about ocean currents comes together! @AlabamaAchieves @amsti4all @THSRebelsSchool

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

I had a great time at Thorsby today!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

Mrs. Tolliver’s classes at Thorsby HS are starting to learn about weather and climate. The first step? A lab to determine how different parts of the earth respond to heat. We’ll graph and analyze the data to draw some conclusions! @THSRebelsSchool @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

My geologist heart was so happy helping with this lesson today. Putting my degree from @uageosci to good use with these future geologists and paleontologists!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

These future paleontologists at @THSRebelsSchool excavated fossils then created a geologic column using their samples. Learning by doing happening at Thorsby! #amsti4all @AlabamaAchieves @UM_RIEC @AMSTI4all

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

Can’t wait to work with this new group of students!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

Ms. Tollivers class at @THSRebelsSchool had a great time with their first robotics and engineering challenges for the year! @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

We were so happy to be a part of @vhcschools back to school Rebel Camp! We loved sharing about all of the exciting changes to AMSTI science and how to integrate engineering into the standards. We are excited to work with you this year! @AlabamaAchieves @AMSTI4all

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

Had to call in reinforcements!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

Middle school has really upped the amount of math in 7th grade units. When you struggle with some of it, you call in math specialist reinforcements! Thanks for your help Faith and Rachel! @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

These teachers have been so much fun!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

It has been another great week of middle school science training! We cant wait to see what our teachers do in their classrooms next year! @AlabamaAchieves @AMSTI4all @UM_RIEC

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

We loved having Shana help us out last week! So glad she is a great @AMSTI_UM teacher and trainer! @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves @Alabasterk12

[Shana Webb, NBCT @Shana_webb77]

Really enjoyed all of these awesome educators I had the pleasure of training in my AMSTI sessions this June and July! Their dedication and enthusiasm made these sessions truly memorable.

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

We had a great bunch of teachers this week! I can’t wait to see what happens next week!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

Week 1 of @AMSTI_UM summer institute is in the books for our middle school science teachers! Proud of their hard work as they learn all new units for next year! @AlabamaAchieves @UM_RIEC @AMSTI4all

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

This week has been exhausting, but this group was a great way to end it! This group of teachers was so much fun to work with!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

Another great day of science for these 8th grade teachers! @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves @HomewoodSchools @HooverSchools

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

I have had so much fun with these teachers! Life science is not “my thing,” but this may make me change my mind.

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

We have had two great days of 7th grade Life Science training. These teachers are excited about what is in store for their students next year! @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves @HooverSchools @ShelbyALSchools @bcsboe @TCBOE

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

I had a great time working with Ms. Giffin and her awesome students!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

One student said it best, “You know it’s going to be a good day when the goggles are out.” It is a great day for chemical reactions in Ms. Giffin’s class at @HomewoodMiddle! @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves @HomewoodSchools

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

Great things are happening in this teacher’s classroom!!!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

It was great to work with Mrs. Tolliver’s 6th graders at Thorsby HS while they learned about the effects of hot and cold on air currents. @THSRebelsSchool @AlabamaAchieves @AMSTI4all

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

Mrs. Smotherman’s 7th graders at West Blocton MS used chicken wings to explore the structure and function of tendons, ligaments, bones, joints, and muscles. We may have some future surgeons here! @AMSTI4all @hs_adams4

[Holly Adams @hs_adams4]

Loved being able to work with this group of teachers!

[AMSTI_UM @AMSTI_UM]

Two great days of PD with @ShelbyALSchools secondary science teachers! Proficiency scales, prosthetic beaks and tails. Oh my! @AMSTI4all @Alsim4all @UM_RIEC
