Students in Medical Detectives class had the opportunity to discuss the importance of vital signs in addition to capturing their own in class today. #ScienceIsFun #WestIsBest

Today we explored our very own Ice Cores and discussed how scientists use cores from Antarctica to decipher past and potential future weather conditions. #ScienceIsFun #WestIsBest

Last week's STEM Fest was a huge success! Thank you to everyone that joined us for this event. We look forward to seeing you again at next year's festival!

Hey GJPS students and families...Join our friends at Middle School West for STEM FEST on Oct 18 from 5:30-7:30. Enjoy: 🤖 Gahanna Robotics Team 🎮 Exploring Learning Gizmos 🧪 Hands-on Math and Science Experiences 🔬 And much more! RSVP at bit.ly/stemfest22

It's always a treat to have guest patients in our Medical Detectives class! #WestIsBest #ScienceIsFun

Nothing but mutal respect and support for our crew! #TurnersLearners are the best!!!!

Time for another round of sheep brain dissections in Medical Detectives! #ScienceIsFun #WestIsBest

Using Skittles to show the impact of weathering, erosion, and deposition on our environment.

Shaving cream+playing cards=perfect model of plate tectonics! #scienceisfun #westisbest

Great time being with students face to face and having guest teachers join in on the sheep brain dissection. #WestIsBest #ScienceIsFun #MedicalDetectives

➡️➡️➡️THIS is what will get you through the next few rainy days! Congratulations to our Middle School West Eighth Graders and to ALL off our soon to be FRESHMEN at GLHS! #theGJPSway #gjpsBetterTogether youtu.be/Wh7Rs7Zmp68

I’ve always loved joining commencements––the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice. Even if we can’t get together in person this year, Michelle and I are excited to celebrate the nationwide Class of 2020 and recognize this milestone with you and your loved ones.

My brother @UCcoachbass shared this email sent to him by his principal. No, not all kids have the same access to resources, have different responsibilities, and be completely lost during this time, and for them I sincerely pray for comfort. But, WHAT IF...

Students had lots of fun creating 3D Topographic Maps using the Augmented Sandbox on loan from Franklin County Soil and Water. #WestIsBest #ScienceIsFun

Students completed the Skittles Lab today to investigate weathering and erosion. Lots of meaningful discussions both on and off topic were had😊 #WestIsBest #ScienceIsFun

You CAN be the fun teacher, or the nice teacher, or the teacher that all the kids like, and still have high expectations of them to follow the rules. It IS possible.

@edutopia I too live with multiple sclerosis and I agree with the points made in this article. I choose to share my condition with my 8th grade students early in the school year so that they understand why I walk differently and may need to sit while I teach. Thanks for sharing!
