Amazing showcase of student art work by our fabulous art teacher Ms. Sullivan at our CommunityDay of scholars event! 🤓🏆@mjperkins2014 @BostonSchools
In Gr. 4 we are engineering switches for our circuits out of everyday materials to get ready for our big engineering challenge. @SmithsonianEdu @mjperkins2014

Our K2 class working on their pumpkin volcano experiments in science class! 🎃 🌋 🧪
Thank you Ms.Rosa for such a cool experiment today!
How can we make a lesson about water on slope more interesting for STEM Friday? That’s easy! WATERSLIDES!

More time in the schedule for science = STEM Fridays! We kicked off STEM Fridays by making lava lamps and discussing density! 🔬⚗️🧪🤯🤓 – at South Boston, Boston

Did you know that I was published in this month’s Science and Children ? nsta.org/science-and-childre…
Check it out. Please consider writing for the column too. Let me know if you’re interested and we will make time to connect!
Can you tell what season it is just by looking around our classroom? 💐🌷🌻🌧️🌦️🌈 We are propagating house plants, growing potatoes, and waiting patiently for some spring flowers to observe! 🤓 – at Boston, MA

This tool describes the strategy of "self-documentation," which allows teachers to make the most of sources of knowledge from students’ own cultures and communities. stemteachingtools.org/brief/…

Assessments where students have the opportunity to receive feedback and use them to revise their thinking can support a more authentic learning environment for all students.

Wee engineers in action!🤓 Today, we tested out our fan designs to see if they would move the ball across the race track. It was awesome to see how motivated Ss were to create and improve their designs. @EiE_org @mjperkins2014 #NGSS #Kindergarten
On day 2, we created blueprints for our designs and conducted research on the type of plants and animals that we wanted in our aquariums. On day 3, we created our 2D and 3D prototypes! My students ❤️ having choice in how they created their product. Thanks @DefinedLearning! #PBL
Today, we kicked off our aquarium designer project from @DefinedLearning! We had some interesting discussions about how professionals design aquariums and created our own designs. Keep your eyes 👀 peeled for our final designs later in the week. ##PBL #sciencelearning
Can we make Mac McClung's dunking skills a phenomenon for an #NGSS elementary science unit?! I would love to see what a driving question board would look like after introducing this video! 🤓🥳🤩 #OpenSciEd #phenomena
