Fifth grade MCA Club @McNeilles @LamarCISD won an Honorable Mention at the National @NPR Student Podcast Challenge. We competed with 6th-8th graders. We'd be honored if you have a chance to listen. https://t.co/7kISUrJG9Q @yoonkim0721 @Tonilscott_ed

Build an earthquake simulator with Strawbees + micro:bit and test which structures stay standing. Students design, test, and improve like real engineers—bringing NGSS to life through hands-on learning.

@MsETracey @HelenWangCND I love this project. Students excel in school when they are challenged with hands-on problem solving situations. It keeps them engaged too! I have also done these mazes and added coding.

@christinekdixon This is just awesome!!!

@that_stem_guy @Sphero I feel the same about Ozobots.

Check out our own version of the Rain Gutter Regatta @Sphero edition!!! There mission was to create a rescue boat and rescue three LEGO Minifigs lost at sea. Sadly we some Minifigs at sea. #engineering #stem #stemed #edtech #csforall #csk8 #robots @SVViperPride @DVUSD @SpheroEdu

Love using @Sphero Sprk to move our submarine builds and reinforce our ocean learning. The kids thought it was too fun 🤩

@MrsThaiPappa @Sphero I love this!!

I have always incorporated robotics in my science curriculum (not every day -but often). Looking for educators who do the same/would like to share. Adapted #spheroedu pollination drawing to have students program pollination and the wiggle dance back at the hive. @Tonilscott_ed

Designed, engineered, and coded #SpheroBolt to collect Kemp’s ridley sea turtle eggs. Watched a Ranger video in Texas learning a lot about issues faced by endangered animals. @Tonilscott_ed picture credit https://t.co/Kvic3H9U8W Lesson adapted from #SteaminthePark

We gave our Geobug (Geocaching) a new travel plan to visit national parks in the United States. We are studying different types of rocks, but would also love any life science sharing! This Geobug has moved over 78,000 miles. Credit to Map Tiler #steaminthepark @Tonilscott_ed

Ranger led activity at Mammoth Caves NP. Our students did this today learning about how rain (vinegar) dissolves the calcium carbonate in limestone to form caves. This was an unforgettable experience! ❤️ #Anticipation #steaminthepark #COUNTDOWN

This is a crowd favorite game that we learned at #SteaminthePark , an outstanding workshop for teachers based in national parks. The game is called the Clab Boom game. It’s great for review and conversations! Students who normally clam up during class eagerly participate!

[Daryle Esswein @martinteach]

A quick activity that covers a lot of concepts including density (blue water, vegetable oil, and a Lego person), longitudinal and transverse waves, and gravity and friction. @Tonilscott_ed #wertheimerms

Can you minimize the energy transferred when your bumper car collides with a target? 🚓💥🚗
4th graders measured their bumper car's energy transfer before and after making modifications.

We conducted our unique Plant the Moon Challenge, crafting a photobioreactor to cultivate Spirulina for Bioremediation of the regolith. Fascinatingly, we observed intriguing color variations in our Chimayo Chili Peppers' growth.
The darker green hue might be successful…

Classroom Einstein World Traveler Travel Bug has now moved over 60,000 miles. It is now in the Czech Republic. The other two have moved over 25,000 miles and are in Mexico and the Netherlands! Great way to study other countries! @tlscott @WertheimerMS

[Allison Larsen @Teach_Innovate]

5th graders successfully coded the drones to fly through the obstacle and land on the platform. They were REALLY excited about sticking the landing on the platform! #GoCIGo #STEAM #5thGrade ⁦@Robolinkinc⁩ #drone

Our Gardening Club lesson started with what plants need for growth! We watched a video @MythBusters on the best environment for plants. They concluded that rock and roll music makes plants grow faster than classical or talking! Next we plant strawberries in our hydroponic garden.

[Daryle Esswein @martinteach]

Today we engineered different types of kites, discussed why some designs worked better than others, and flew a big kite high above the school!@Tonilscott_ed

[Daryle Esswein @martinteach]

Today we started our second engineering project tied to curriculum on resource scarcity and conservation. We watched a fabulous video from Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation about the Water Lens (used to make water clean). Students then developed their own filters. @Tonilscott_ed
