Beautiful day to visit a construction project! Mr. Manzo’s Architecture Ss toured a new project by Gary Pritchard. Gary has been a long time friend to the Architecture program at ⁦@RamseyHSNJ⁩

Ss in 7th grade STEM exploratory facing their first challenge using collaboration, communication, and critical thinking to achieve the goal! ⁦@RSDsmithschool⁩

“What do I say after they said an idea?” The table tent is a scaffold to help 7th grade Ss develop their capacity to communicate and engage in scientific discourse.

Lift off from Smith School with Ms. Meyers aboard! ⁦@RSDsmithschool⁩

Early morning driving practice in the Smith School STEM room!

Please forward this to any friends or colleagues that might be interested! #GoRamsNJ

Mr. Manzo and his Ss are repurposing the old solid wood doors from RHS into benches and tables. Can’t wait to see the finished products! ⁦@RamseyHSNJ⁩

Dater STEM WOW Fair was a huge success! Congrats to our participants and Mrs Khoury! #GoRamsNJ #TeachingforUnderstanding

Great night at the Smith STEM showcase. Very proud of the projects Ss are showcasing.

Scientists hard at work proving which type of sponge soaks up spills the best!! The sponges were our only variables and we doubled-checked our results! @Hubbard_School @RSDSciTechEd

Smith School STEM Showcase is back! Join other STEM enthusiasts on March 24th, 7pm-8:30pm at Smith School. @RSDsmithschool @thedaterschool drive.google.com/file/d/1RV8yb3…

Exciting afternoon in 1P! These scientists created their very own sundials 🌞 We took our science lesson outside so our scientists could test their sundials and observe what happened. Students enjoyed exploring them! 😍 Perfect weather to test them out! ☀️💙💛 @TisdaleSchool

S’s use gravity tables to model the force of gravity in space, and understand how mass affects it. @RSDsmithschool

S’s use balloons to model the expansion of the universe. @RSDsmithschool

6th grade scientists in Ms. Meter’s class learn about the center of gravity by creating penny towers! Ss worked together through the scientific method in order to create the tallest tower! @RSDSciTechEd @dmeyers86

Engineering Ss have been challenged! Design a DC powered Maglev vehicle to transport a payload quickly and safely along a track. Payload to be unloaded by robotic arm 🦾 with no damage to payload or vehicle. ⁦@RamseyHSNJ⁩

Exploring the amazing phenomenon of magnetism! My favorite lesson yet! @Hubbard_School @RSDSciTechEd #TeachingForUnderstanding

Gizmos & Gadgets Funament Champions!! Payton Ashworth and Reilly Fehmel showing off their Engineering expertise! Presented with a Chic-fil-A gift card! Congrats to the winners!

A great example of the distinction between "Models of" and "Models for". It is a model for reasoning about the phenomenon of seafloor spreading. It is not just a model of seafloor spreading. Such an important nuance in science education! #TeachingforUnderstanding
