Central Middle School's STEM 6 Science accepts the challenge of making extended molecular structures using what they know about chemical formulas, bonding, and crystal lattice formations! @CentralMidaacps, @STEMaacps, @Aacps_Science #AACPSAwesome

@lkbl50 @AACountySchools @Aacps_Science @kristy_kfidyk @STEMaacps @CentralMidaacps You are right? For bonus points do you know what the white spots are?

We had some interesting biodiversity in our Agri-STEAM garden. We aren't the only ones that love our tomato plants. Can you name the fauna in these pictures?? @Aacps_Science @kristy_kfidyk @STEMaacps @CentralMidaacps

Agri-STEAM Club's backyard garden is bursting with tomatoes!! So much sauce!!! Can't wait until we are up and running this year so the FACs classes can use our fresh veggies! @STEMaacps @kristy_kfidyk @Aacps_Science @CentralMidaacps

Atom Stations: making atomic models, studyjams, and interactive gizmos helped us reach our post test goals this week for performance expectation MS-PE-1-1!! @CENTRALMIDAACPS @kristy_kfidyk @STEMaacps @Aacps_Science

Last STEM 8 Challenge- Build A Better Sandcastle! Congratulations Central MS STEM 8 Students on all the hard work in your AACPS STEM Middle Years! #AACPSAwesome @STEMaacps

2 days of exploring physical properties of matter including density with liquid density columns and water displacement of irregular shapes!!! #AACPSAwesome @STEMaacps @CentralMidaacps @kristy_kfidyk @Aacps_Science

After planting all morning at ST. Luke's the club still had enough energy to add more soil to our raised bed. They also had time to dig a "gopher hole" to have fun in. You know the saying "All work and no play ......." @CentralMidaacps @kristy_kfidyk @STEMaacps

Agri-STEAM got to see and help with stormwater infiltration and ecosystem reconstruction at St. Luke's today. Look at all the planting! @CentralMidaacps @kristy_kfidyk @STEMaacps

Pi Day! Central MS STEM AgriSTEAM & Raspberry Pi Clubs celebrating Pi Day at the Maryland House in Annapolis! #AACPSAwesome

Agri-STEAM Club spent after school today moving dirt into the raised bed. Thank you Mr Rossbeck for the dirt donation! @CentralMidaacps @kristy_kfidyk @STEMaacps

Dr Garry Lohman of the Maryland Geological Society came to talk to STEM students about the mineral Coprolite or fossilized dinosaur poop. @AACountySchools @STEMaacps @kristy_kfidyk

What were you doing on Saturday? AGRI-STEAM Club and their families built a huge raised beds to support our farmbot. Growing season coming soon to Central Middle School! @CentralMidaacps @kristy_kfidyk @STEMaacps

6th grade STEM "Gross Out" Saturday! What a better way to spend the day: Dinosaur Poop, Fish "peeH", and owl pellet dissection! @CentralMidaacps, @STEMaacps, @kristy_kfidyk

Thank you Chesapeake Connections for bringing such a great hands on activity @STEMaacps @CentralMidaacps @kristy_kfidyk @AEchoEnvEdAACPS #AACPSAwesome

6th Grade STEM Science prepared for our Natural History Museum trip by taking core samples from a play dough simulation to try to locate oil (purple playdough) hidden among the Earth's layers. @STEMaacps @CentralMidaacps @kristy_kfidyk
