Our class pet, Edison, has made a new friend while quarantining at Mrs. Burden’s house. Bartleby isn’t quite sure what a guinea pig is, but he’s determined to investigate. (No guinea pigs or cats were harmed for this tweet.) #PowerUpGrade6 #PowerUpMMS

More gems from the Preserve!

Took a hike in Draper-Houston Preserve today, right here in Milan (near Kroger). This preserve is beautiful to hike in any season, and I saw and heard some amazing things! 6th graders—what connections can you make to our ecosystems unit? #MASBigReds #PowerUpGrade6 #GetOutside

Day 2 of no school: Went for a run to say “hello” to the MS Building! Birds are singing, it’s a beautiful morning, but I miss this place and its people already! Be well, Milan! #MASBigReds #PowerUpGrade6 #gooutside #ScienceisEverywhere

6th graders are using yeast to study and model the process of cellular respiration; testing if the amount of glucose added influences the rate of the reaction. #MASBigReds #PowerUpMMS

6th graders using a inner/outer circle protocol to discuss a hypothetical conflict between friends. #PowerfulConversations #MASBigReds #PowerUpMMS

Photosynthesis lab today! Students have learned to do a sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) infusion in spinach cuttings to motivate the reaction. Comparing and graphing results in light vs. dark. #MASBigReds #PowerUpMMS
