🦉 Owl pellet dissection today to introduce energy flow in ecosystems! Love a good inquiry activity to get students thinking! 💭 @IMSGRT

Intro to classification is always fun when cereal is involved! Collaboration + HUGE whiteboards + engagement

Snowman STEM challenge.. building the tallest & smallest snowman. ☃️ Lots of collaboration, revisions & friendly competition!

I’m really pleased with the growth my 7th graders have shown after consecutive Socratic seminars. Their communication skills, along with their attention to social cues are becoming impressive. @RPMscience @IMSEagles

So proud of our Eagles 🦅 last night for their first win of the season! 🎉🤗 So many first timers! Proud of them! @IMSEagles

I love the custom signs one of my students made to help identify the items in our fall garden beds. ❤️ @RPMscience

Ss collaboratively creating cell life cycle models using cookies & sprinkles! @IMSGRT @IMSEagles

Ss harvest some of their crops today! From researching to building the beds to shopping to planting to harvesting, this is science, this is real world learning. @IMSGRT @vbedfound @IMSEagles

Of course we needed a goggle selfie! 🤳 strawberry 🍓 DNA 🧬 extraction day! Such an amazing 🤩 reaction from kids! @IMSEagles

Ss presented their Cell Toy PBL in small groups to receive peer feedback. @IMSGRT @IMSEagles

What is the effect of exercise on cellular respiration? Does exercise increase the amount of carbon dioxide produced? @IMSEagles @IMSGRT

Does the type of water affect the size of the gummy bear? 🐻

Just in time for Halloween 🎃 students found a “mummy baby” in their onion cells! Doesn’t it look like a mummy?!

Ss working together to complete a @GoosechaseEDU scavenger hunt comparing parts of the school to parts of a cell! Thank you Ms. Dole for creating this engaging activity! @IMSEagles @IMSGRT

Exploring CELLS outdoors thanks to our pocket microscopes we were able to purchase with our grant for our outdoor learning lab! So many Ss want to purchase their own for home! @vbedfound @IMSGRT @IMSEagles

Way to go EAGLES 🦅 continuing to soar on the field! @IMSEagles

Lastly, Ss mapped out where to place each plant in our raised garden beds. They took into account companion planting, which herbs help repel pests & space needs for each plant. 🪴 Ss were surprised how much they learned about gardening today! @vbedfound @IMSGRT @ChristyMcQueen
