One of 1st graders made a recycle bin for our front lobby to help celebrate Earth Day! 🌎 We are so proud of this responsible Roadrunner! #BeepBeep @FCPS1News @FCPS1Science

Crumpled paper watershed lab. @CLMS_TROJANS @FCPS1Science

Learning about states of matter and how it can change between states due to temperature changes and energy levels of particles with @correllscience earlier this week @hmpearsonelem. Such exciting experiments for our first graders! @FCPS1Science @FCPS1News @MajorWarner40

“ON THE MOVE” with graham crackers and frosting to model the different types of plate tectonic boundaries: transform, divergent, and convergent. Had to fit in this fun lab even with a short week! @FCPS1Science @GreenvilleES

Today in Physical Science we did the Hot Wheels Force & Motion lab… because who doesn’t love playing with Hot Wheels?! #ScienceisFun #physicalscience #forceandmotion #friction #hotwheels #mmswolves @FCPS1Science @MMS_WOLVES

An inspired student brought me her solar powered vehicle to test out! We finished the last chapter of our science textbook, Caring for Earth. Now we start SOL prep! @GreenvilleES @FCPS1Science

Spring is in the air in first grade @hmpearsonelem - we so far have had 3 chicks hatch since early Monday and more are on the way. Our first graders are excited to meet them soon! @correllscience @FCPS1Science #scienceiseverywhere #scienceintheclassroom

The 7th grade science students crushed their Ecosystem in a Box Project. @mattyonkey @kholcomb13 @FCPS1Science #YouAreAmazing #ThisIsFCPS1

Reading weather instruments lab outside today. @CLMS_TROJANS @FCPS1Science

Baby chicks 🐤🐣 are hatching in our library! @FCPS1News @FCPS1Science

Simulating greenhouse effect. @ClmsScience @CLMS_TROJANS @FCPS1Science

Our 5th graders used the Code and Go Mice to collect examples of the four types of energy. They strategized, formed plans, coded, debugged, and had so much fun! Thanks to Mrs. Currence for planning this amazing activity! @FCPS1News @FCPS1Science

I had some amazing helpers in science today! We did a matter lab to make soap! The kids even made a container (box/envelope) out of wrapping paper scraps to gift their creation. Love seeing their creativity come through. ❤️ @FCPS1Science @GreenvilleES

Properties of water; Surface tension lab. @CLMS_TROJANS ;@FCPS1Science

In Life Science, we’re learning about DNA and Mr. Mulvey was so kind as to loan us his DNA model and beads. #DNA #lifescience @MMS_WOLVES @FCPS1Science

Today in Physical Science, we’re exploring electrical circuits by playing with SnapCircuits! #electricity #electricalcircuits #snapcircuits #physicalscience @FCPS1Science @MMS_WOLVES

My seventh graders brought some amazing cell projects!!! I love the variety of mediums used to create them! @FCPS1Science @MMS_WOLVES

5th graders enjoyed learning & playing the game “Six” in Library last week. “Six” helped them review Matter concepts for Science. @FCPS1News

3rd grade animal habitat dioramas are cool and educational! Way to go, students! 🦉🦒🐘🦧 @FCPS1News

Our first graders - and their parents- learning about weather and Earth during our annual field trip to the @ScienceMusofVA today. @FCPS1Science @correllscience @hmpearsonelem
