A glimpse into our review activities: 4 corners, impromptu debates, stations, and "Guys, Mrs. Scholl is taking pictures of us again" 😂 Just too proud of the conversations these scholars have every day in RELA and how much deeper they are able to discuss! @HumbleISD_TMS @tms_stem

Thank you, @LoneStarFlight for engaging our 8th grade STEM students in meaningful and hands-on activities today! We designed airplanes, checked our hangars, heard amazing stories, and learned a ton! #justplanefun @HumbleISD_TMS

Another successful STEM Academy Field Trip in the books! 8th Grade had a blast learning the history and engineering behind these awesome planes, as well as the science of flight. The whole tour was a hit! 🛫🚀🇺🇸⭐️ #lonestarflightmuseum #futureaviators @HumbleISD_TMS @tms_stem

@humble_SocSt History, Science, Engineering, Art, & Math all wrapped up in the story of Daisy Thorne Gilbert & the storm of 1900. even a connection to Empresario Stephen F. Austin… connecting the past to todays world. Well done! @tms_stem @HumbleISD_TMS thank you @hurricanehal_

As with many decisions teachers need to make when designing and facilitating PBL, how to write a driving question depends on your own style, your context, your students. Here are some suggestions and insights.

@tms_stem 8th graders getting feedback on their individual phobia research projects before presentations tomorrow! @HumbleISD_TMS Come see how they incorporated STEM into their RELA research during 3rd, 4th, and 6th periods! #TMSacademicdiscussion

This is an example of a letter sent by a teacher to families to inform them about a project. It explains what PBL is, details the project, addresses assessment issues, and tells parents about how they can be involved.

DQ: How can we take an existing system within our society and improve upon it?

These girls analyzed problems in our legal system, researched the process to create a law, and developed a draft of their law to fix their problem! #TMSPBL @tms_stem @HumbleISD_TMS
