After reviewing animal classification, the class created an anchor chart. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience

Our anchors share the science vocabulary and translate it to Spanish on the morning show. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience

Today, we got to celebrate our STEM Fair winners at school. We pulled all the students together and passed out their medals and special awards. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPS_STEM

Mrs. Lewandowski's students use active thinking to answer science questions. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPSRiverhills

Riverhills is hosting a virtual watch party for the STEM Fair Awards to celebrate out scientists, engineers, and inventors. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPSRiverhills

Ms. Ortiz's class adds visual aids to support ELL learners. @HCPSRiverhills @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience

Students in Mrs. Finney's class designed wind vanes to observe the direction the wind was blowing. @HCPSRiverhills @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPS_STEM

After traveling through the water cycle, students created a graph to show where they spent the most time. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPS_STEM

Check out these awesome games from our Family S.T.E.M. challenge. Families were tasked with building a game with a spoon. Students shared their designs on the morning show. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPS_STEM

We include the Bridge to Vocabulary words during the morning show. Students love calling in to see if they have the correct answer! @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPS_STEM

Students from 3-5 visit my room for hands-on learning with our academic vocabulary. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPS_STEM

We are learning in a Winter Wonderland. Students designed and built an animal or object they would find in winter. They calculated the volume of each box used to find the volume of their whole design. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPS_STEM @HCPSElemMath1

Mrs. Lewandoski proveds her students with feedback on their STEM Fair project. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience

Mrs. Morris has students do an open sort at the beginning of the lessons to assess prior knowledge. The class does a gallery walk and class discussion. This helps Mrs. Morris navigate her lesson. @WeAreHAEST @HCPS_STEM @HCPSElemScience

Mrs. Elkin's class is playing pass the vocab word. They analyze how the last vocab word relates to their new vocab word. This is a great way to assess student understanding. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience

Mrs. Elkins's students at Clark Elementary used physical properties to separate mixtures they created. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience

After taking a mini quiz, students reflect on their score and determine the reason they got answers incorrect. We also track our progress compared to the district. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPS_STEM

Mrs. Lewandowski's gets her students involved in keeping track of data and making goals. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience

After learning about forces and motion, students had a design challenge to create a train for our maglev track. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPS_STEM

After reading One Plastic Bag, students created objects out of a bag that would solve a problem. Designs needed to be sturdy enough to be used multiple times. @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HCPS_STEM
