Can you add water to a jar, cover the top with a screen then turn over the jar and keep the water in the jar? The answer is yes when you are studying the properties of water! Science is so cool!! @TeamApollo_8 @MadrasEagles

“Meet”ing with Mrs. Barberio as she leads all our 8th grade students through frog dissections. Collaboration and technology at work on 8th grade hall! Thanks, Mrs Barberio, you are the best!! @MadrasEagles @GiftedEagles8 @dwhitesciguy

Creating magnetic fields as we learn about magnetic forces @TeamPhoenixMMS @MadrasEagles

Day One of building Wave Machines! Students working together makes it all the better! @MadrasEagles @MMSTeamPhoenix

Kids quotes from science today ... “This is crazy” “I’ve been lied to my whole life” “What the...” “Wait! How can this be!” I love watching them as they try to make sense out of discrepant events! @TeamPhoenixMMS @MadrasEagles

Working collaboratively to determine the flow of energy in a system ... love the breakout rooms with virtual and face to face students working together! @MadrasEagles @TeamPhoenixMMS

@Jo_Schornhorst @MadrasEagles @TeamPhoenixMMS Yes! He was so into the building and design process!

@costa8thscience @MadrasEagles @TeamPhoenixMMS I see my boy! ❤️

The sounds of first period as they build the designs they created yesterday... “Yes! “ “I am going to try something daring..” “Let’s try this” “we have too much potential energy” @MadrasEagles @TeamPhoenixMMS

Second period quotes ...”science ...cool” Too much energy” “ we needed more kinetic energy so we made it taller” “we lost our marbles” @MadrasEagles @TeamPhoenixMMS

Small groups of virtual and face-2-face students working together to design investigations into the transfer of energy. @TeamPhoenixMMS @MadrasEagles

Problem solving while trying to design a coaster that meets specific criteria...science is so cool! @MadrasEagles @TeamPhoenixMMS

Starting off our energy unit studying the potential and kinetic energy of roller coasters! @MadrasEagles @TeamPhoenixMMS

Had a great day today investigating the properties of water both virtually and face-2-face! Science rocks in 8th grade! @MadrasEagles @TeamPhoenixMMS

Learning about the properties and behaviors of sound waves😀

Learning about the Law is Reflection today in science! The students are proving that the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection #sciencerocks @MadrasEagles

Love when we talk about phenomena in science and a student takes the time to share the phenomenon she finds in her world. Thanks Kaia, for sharing this stunning phenomenon with me! You took a great picture! #sciencerocks #makingsenseofphenomenon

Outsiders Day with a science rumble in the courtyard! Mrs. Peterson’s classes vs. Mrs. Costa’s classes. Elastic potential energy is fun to learn about when you are competing against another class. 😀 Score ended in a tie! @MadrasEagles

Investigating potential energy...if we change the distance will the potential energy change? @MadrasEagles

Separating homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures this week on Team Synergy...science is so cool!

Students making recordings on Flipgrid, sharing what they learned about the cohesive and adhesive properties of water. #flipgrid @MadrasEagles
