Oh what’s that?
fire 🔥 in jug.
Well what can we learn from that?
There are many ways to change phases.
Best science trick ever!

Having a blast using marshmallow elements to build compounds and molecules. Then putting them all together to Heart ❤️ our models. Love how creative these 6th graders are!

[Mervat Aqqad @Ms_Aqqad]

Marshmallows and toothpicks counted and set up for tomorrow’s first Matter lab. I know the students are going to love it!

How small is small? Today students completed an activity to see just how small are atoms.⚛️ Did you know you would have to cut one sheet in half 31 times get to the size of an atom?

Fortune telling fish: Why are these fish moving when we put them in the palm of our hands? What does it mean? Can they really tell my fortune or is there a science behind it? Of course there is science behind it and we will be using the Scientific Method to figure it out!

Thank you to all those that came out to Meet the teacher. Just wanted to share some amazing STEM name tags. Students did such an amazing job!

[Mervat Aqqad @Ms_Aqqad]

Today was a busy day in science! Students discussed what their IDEAL TEACHER is, played 4 corners using the hip new ways of saying love it, it’s a maybe, it’s okay, I hate it, and finally we played headbandz using Procedures, Expectations, & units we covered in class yesterday!

[Mervat Aqqad @Ms_Aqqad]

We had a great first 2 days of learning rules, expectations, and procedures at school! Tomorrow the science fun begins!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! My students know me so well I am just a Tennessee girl in a North Carolina world! I absolutely love teaching all of my amazing students!

Learning the flower parts, functions, and plant processes. I love how we all created brochures, but each student had their own creative and unique way to demonstrate their knowledge! Integration of science and art at its finest!
