TMS STEM Academy

Continuing our ⭐️ Review with an Era Brain Dump. Students listed everything they remembered, illustrated it, and created hashtags for each. They participated in multiple rounds adding as we rotated around the room. @HumbleISD_TMS @tms_stem @humble_SocSt

An amazing group of 8th graders! @longhornproject

Dive into the Laguna Nebula This star nursery, 5,200 light-years away, belongs to the Messier Catalog, a collection of celestial sights popular with amateur astronomers. Follow @NASAHubble this week for more new Messier space images: go.nasa.gov/4c8ngp9

Rice Stem and We Teach CS … first day of my coding journey! ⁦@HumbleISD⁩ ⁦@HumbleISD_TMS⁩ ⁦@tms_stem⁩ ⁦@humble_SocSt⁩

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_

7th Grade STEM in Galveston today with @Hal_Needham on our hurricane history and preparedness tour! Really excited to see how our STEM teachers connect their content to this tangible experience, where history meets science and human ingenuity 🌊🌨️🧠⚙️ @HumbleISD_TMS @mswhite_TMS

7th grade STEM had an AMAZING time on our Galveston Tour with @hurricanehal_! It was cool to explore different parts of the island and learn about hurricanes, the sea wall, and different historical sites! @HumbleISD_TMS

Congrats to our 4 STEM students of the 9 weeks: Melanie, Jonah, Isabella, and Luke!!! @HumbleISD_TMS

Foster collaboration, encourage communication, and make use of Retrieval Practice With Think, Pair, Share 🧠👭🗣️ Here's a blog (and a graphic based on @XpatEducator's) on it 👇 bit.ly/3ZWj5bS

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. pblworks.org/blog/tricky-pa…

@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

Download our Museum Exhibit Product Toolkit to learn how to guide your students through the process of making museum exhibits in PBL. bit.ly/3GCyTnF

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. Download it here: bit.ly/2UDf33L #PBL #edu #k12

Want to move beyond paper and pencils in math? ➗✏️ Give students a creative and effective way to cement their knowledge with math video projects! Discover a guide: edut.to/3B2DlhA

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
