@ReginaAmbs I was safe! I was actually at Hobby Lobby when the tornado went through, so we sheltered in the store bathroom, but the tornado went south of us, thank God

@HeyBethMay My head-cannon for Ron Stampler is Astronaut Chris Hadfield. Tell me I’m wrong

Did you know that people’s #1 fear is public speaking. #2 is dying! We practiced @ChrisWidener’s secrets of how to talk to Anybody, Anywhere, Anytime. Ss did 2 minute “speed interviews” where they tried to connect with everyone in the class. #lifeskills #gogulllake #glms #glcs

They say life is in the details. The DETAIL on these Mars Bases is unbelievable! I am blown away by what my students created. Ss were tasked with creating a “Mars Colony” suitable to fit the biological needs of 4 astronauts. They did that and more!

Students participated in an egg drop today to simulate protecting passengers while landing on a foreign planet. #gogulllake #glms #glcs #Pltw #flightandspace

Students created water filtration systems to clean dirty water. This is a very simple version of what they have on the international space station. #gogulllake #glcs #glms

Students loved having Officer Kelm teach them about forensics today. It was a lot of fun learning about lifting fingerprints! #gogulllake #glms #glcs

We dissected hearts today in #medicaldetectives. Students were so excited. #gogulllake #glcs #glms #pltw #stem #womeninSTEM

Wow. This was a special moment. I think Dad would be pretty proud that we’ve become the first to successfully breed the turtle that he discovered. A rare, and unique species under threat in the wild has just been given a second chance.

Did you know it can take up to 20 minutes for a message to travel from Earth to Mars? Students experienced delayed & relayed messaging in this game simulating the difficulties of space communication #gogulllake #glcs #glms

[Jessica Dark @jessdarkscience]

Students dissected brains today in Medical Detectives class! Ss saw first hand all the different parts of the brain. Most thought it was “awesome, but a little bit gross”. #pltw #medicaldetectives #glcs #glms #gogulllake

@MrsPerkinsPVMS Aww I love the snoopy one! These are so creative

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom challenge😀 Balance as many letters and "coconuts"🥥 in the Chicka tree🌴 as you can! K Ss worked in pairs & then groups to practice teamwork! #STEAM #STEM @Dodge_WCSD

We had a PERFECT launch today! Students built model rockets as part of our Rocket Unit, and got to see what real rocket fuel does for propulsion! Students were SO EXCITED to launch. #gogulllake #flightandspace #PLTW #glcs #glms
