Thank you to the Learning Undefeated company for the Drop Anywhere lab experience. Students worked together to solve puzzles and “escape” before time ran out. @SRMS_Official

Students took over the hallway to demonstrate and explain properties of water. It was great to see the collaboration and creativity in their videos. @SRMS_Official

Students took over the hallway to record videos for our performance assessment. They had to demonstrate and explain 2 properties of water. It was a great way to demonstrate collaboration and creativity! @SRMS_Official

Turkey Trot 2023 was a huge success! We had our biggest turnout to date. Thanks to all of the families, teachers, and students who supported this event. Special thanks to Mr. Maier and his yearbook staff for taking these awesome pictures. @SRMS_Official

Took a risk today and tried a new performance assessment task. Students were asked to create a video that explained the seasons or moon phases. I enjoyed seeing their creativity and collaboration. @SRMS_Official

Great start to 6th grade science watching students collaborate and communicate. We built tall towers with pipe cleaners and found out who knew the planets or could sing the Bill Nye theme song. @SRMS_Official

We had a great week in Bolt Blast as students built catapults and launched them at the target. So many great designs! @SRMS_Official

We wrapped up our unit on energy resources with a coal mining simulation. Students "mined" chocolate chips from a cookie to see how many chips(coal) they could dig out and how the cookie(land) was affected by the process. @SRMS_Official

Always fun to watch students be engaged in a lesson. Students programmed the robot to travel through the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. My favorite part is hearing them clap and cheer when they accomplish the task. @SRMS_Official @MathFraser

Students enjoyed coding the iRobots to travel through a maze. It was a fun way to practice measuring with a ruler. Some students even added lights and a song to their code! @SRMS_Official

To introduce our space unit, we used a chalk talk activity to get students thinking about what happens in space. @SRMS_Official

Enjoyed our last days of science by building candy bridges. It’s always fun to see the different designs. @SRMS_Official

Thanks to our new poster machine, students were able to draw weather symbols and create a variety of weather conditions across the US. Added bonus of writing questions on the desk to analyze the weather maps. @SRMS_Official

Lots of collaborating and critical thinking as students constructed energy transformations in Minecraft. @SRMS_Official

Students had fun using boogie boards to practice giving and following directions.@SRMS_Official

Hybrid students worked with DL students in a breakout room to demonstrate properties of water with the penny lab. Great to hear them all chatting and working together. @SRMS_Official
