Pollinator Living Lab Alert! Second graders at Harrington were busy planting a NEW garden! Check out the full video at: Youtube.com/watch?v=vagdsj… @Hawk_Principal @HarringtonHAWKS @lexingtonsuper @lexedfoundation @bbylexma

Thanks to Alex and @MWObs for getting us and our @lexingtonsuper @EstabrookSchool LPS students up close and personal with “the world’s worst weather”!

Crew prepares for the trip, loading food for a week. Ms Buthlay and I are inching our way to the summit. Above tree line and the work begins! Digging out the weather equipment on route! @MWObs @lexingtonsuper @EstabrookSchool

Ms. Blackwell-Thompson, NASA's Launch Director - "Decades ago for Apollo 11, there was just one woman in the firing room of 450 men. Today, on launch day for Artemis I, 30 percent of the approximately 100 engineers in the firing room are women." - NYTimes

Happy #PhenomenaFriday! What were the most interesting phenomena you observed this week? Here are some of my faves. I recommend checking out @LearnInPlaces to help students and families notice local phenomena. Read more: stemteachingtools.org/brief/77 #ngsschat -@SciJeanne

A chance to notice, wonder, and connect with our local surroundings at Lexington Learns Together 2022. Thanks for joining us to explore our Big Backyard! @bbylexma @Lexington_Sci @BridgeSchoolMA @LPS_Planning @lexingtonsuper

Thank you Bianca, Maggie, and Sri, members of 2 Bits and a Byte, the LPS Robotics Team, for building EV3s for us. Our Gr 4 students are excited to begin their design challenges! @Lexington_Sci @lexingtonsuper @LexingtonHSMa @TomMartellone

@k5socialstudies @ltldrum @RaceEmbrace “A remedy to our disconnection is to get outside.” -@ltldrum

Second graders working in teams to create a design to stop erosion. Collaboration and compromise in action! @LexK5science #Science #teamwork

This group of field scientists - simply awesome! @SchoolHastings @bbylexma @lexingtonsuper @Lexington_Sci

The sun returned and these G4 students took their solar panels and circuits outside to investigate energy transfers and transformations. Fun to encounter such focus and curiosity! @Ms_KMichael @FiskeSchool

Happening now…K artists sketching scenes from our pollinator garden. Art and science interacting! @lexingtonmaart @LexK5science @lexingtonsuper @BowmanLexPTO

Beautiful Fall Day for Kindergarten and Grade 3 Big Backyard walks! Thanks to @bbylexma for training and our volunteers! @CorduckJenny

BBY was a huge success today! Scientist were able to observe all that nature has to offer in the Fall! Kindergarteners also planted daffodil bulbs. We will observe these bulbs as the seasons change! Big thanks to our parent volunteers! @bbylexma @HarringtonHAWKS ☀️🌷🐾🍃🍂🍄

@NGSS_tweeps What reasons do we have for NOT getting kids outside? @LearnInPlaces @WMGLSI

A wonderful view outside my window just now. @bbylexma @lexingtonsuper @HarringtonHAWK

@ms_vento12 @HarringtonHAWKS Our youngest scientists at work! Great use of technology to enhance student inquiry.

SCIENTIST ALERT 🚨 Today we observed our classroom caterpillars! These scientists were able to turn & talk and share what they noticed! Kindergarteners used awesome scientific language to describe their thinking! 🐛🦋🔬#LPSHawks @HarringtonHAWKS @LexK5science

Tomorrow, an incredibly rare, once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event is happening! Jupiter will be its closest to Earth since 1963! Along with opposition, it’ll be SO bright, you’ll be able to see its bands and some moons just with binoculars! This won’t happen again until 2129!
