the first students to use the @PioneerPirates Inspire lab during lunch - they loved it! so fun to see their creativity and collaboration. none of them realized 10 minutes could go by so fast!
exciting things happened at Pioneer today:
1. the #greenhouse got stocked w/ all sorts of items & classes are going to get started w/ their planting projects!
2. the #makerspace inside the library is open & ready for kids to explore & create

Are the leaves in your area putting on a colorful show this autumn? 🍂🍃
Learn about the science behind the color change with this @scijinks article for kids: scijinks.gov/leaves-color/
Then, make a classroom connection with a "Leaf Chromotography" lesson: nasa.gov/sites/default/files…

I’m nowhere near where I want Makerspaces to be in my school either. But it’s a process I’m working on slowly & getting others on board (& slowly accumulating materials & tools)
Have you seen this list of possible resources?

Here are a few hand made instruments my ss are making! Soon they’ll wire them up to play a full scale. Then learn how to read music & play them as a class! Fun collab based on world music. #PBL #STEM #STEAM #makerspace #innovation #collaborativeteacher #worldmusic #makered

Inspire your student with @NASA’s graphic novel “First Woman,” the story of Callie Rodriguez, the first female astronaut and person of color to set foot on the moon. Read online or download the English or Spanish versions here: nasa.gov/specials/calliefirs…
These students took their #engineering #design challenge one step further and lit up their square pumpkin from inside, and from behind! #steam @steillyschools1 @SaltarsP #inspirelab #volume
3/3: square pumpkins with Ms. Valdivia
Ss listened to “The Square Pumpkin” & found the volume of a set of boxes. They were then challenged to make a volume net to cover their box. We then used our @Makedo cardboard saws to carve the pumpkins! @SaltarsP @steillyschools1 #steam
2/3: volcano fences w/ Ms Oliver
After learning about volcanoes Ss engineered a fence to protect a house from an explosive volcano! We simulated an eruption w/ baking soda & vinegar- the most explosive from our tests a few weeks ago. @steillyschools1 @SaltarsP #inspirelab #steam
Today was a busy day in the @SaltarsP #inspirelab! 3 activities!
1/3: gravity lab w/ Ms. Crook! Ss measured how high then can jump on earth & will calculate/graph how relative gravity on other planets would change their jump height. @steillyschools1 #steam #mysteryscience

R1 People think S . T . E . M. - 4 stand alone branches. We need to show how they are branches off the same tree - STEM - a connected, relevant and inclusive part of all subjects! @dailystem #msdmvSTEM

Before @NASAArtemis astronauts explore the lunar surface, they have to go to Space School! This week's episode of the 'NASA Explorers' video series focuses on the training they're doing to think & act like geologists. 👨🏾🚀⛏️👩🏽🚀

I was inspired by @teachstemquick and other teachers in #STEMeducation to make this cardboard attachments poster for my #STEM Lab. Hopefully the students will utilize the ideas for their next challenge @NISDMaryHull @NISDSTEMLabs
The hurricane hit this morning at 8:50 am in Ms. Merritt’s room and her students, as well as Ms. Fletcher’s students, built very strong houses that survived the storm! Take a look at these designs! @SaltarsP @steillyschools1 #steam #inspirelab
Ms. Merritt & Ms. Fletcher used the Inspire Lab today to build houses to survive a category 5 hurricane! The storm is coming in over @SaltarsP this evening & is expected to hit land tomorrow morning. Stay tuned to see how their houses do in the storm! @steillyschools1
