Have to admit kinda of bummed we went e-learning on Tuesday...missed out on an opportunity like this when conditions allowed for bubbles 🫧 to freeze ❄️! #makingsciencerelevant #backintheday

#FossilFriday had us pulling out just a few specimens to introduce our investigation of paleoenvironments…breaking out the “hand samples” after Thanksgiving Break 😉 #handsongeoscience #makingsciencerelevant

Looks like Mr. Simpson's 🎃 had a little kick to it! #makingsciencerelevant #17yeartradition #engagingstudents

That time of year...Chemical Reactions Demo using 🎃 Mrs. O'Brien leading things off with a bang! #17yeartradition #makingsciencerelevant

That’s in our neck of the woods…got several specimens & more nodules still to be revealed…here’s a @Scaniverse of a probable sea cucumber found last yr #makingsciencerelevant

Have to go there…Deciding to do a little #CER on today’s Bear’s Game: Claim: Bears are going for a #1 Draft Pick Evidence: Not choosing to put pts on the board in the Red Zone in tie game w/little time on the clock #makingsciencerelevant ⁦@ChicagoBears⁩

We are e-learning Wed/Thurs due to extreme heat (no A/C in classes). HS & JH are collecting temp data using ⁦@VernierST⁩ probes. These are rm 225 temps…slight drop overnight w/fans going & shades down…more to data to come! #makingsciencerelevant

BONUS! combined liquids and led to even more discussion 😉 Even Mr. Simpson was impressed 🤣 #levelup #makingsciencerelevant

Combined our classes today for our #OpeningDay activity focusing on observations & claims…start w/igniting two liquids 🤔 #WJHtradition #makingsciencerelevant

Major update! (7:30pm) After nearly 48hrs of smokey haze, we finally see clouds above! Amazing meteorologic processes taking place #makingsciencerelevant

Picture doesn’t really do it justice, but today we’re experiencing serious haze from Canadian wildfires…the smell is distinctly in the air as well 😲 Amazing how weather patterns effect it! #makingsciencerelevant

Friday’s storms gave us a nice demo for⚡️discussion about why we avoid being near 🌳 during⛈…still amazed at debris distance😲…also good discussion about why 🌳 isn’t charred 🤔….many sci concepts demonstrated w/this! @NWSChicago @NWSLincolnIL #makingsciencerelevant

So Tuesday the barometers were “domed”…this morning textbook depressions 😉 Students love to be able to visualize changes in air pressure…time to make the connections w/ their data #makingsciencerelevant

In the midst of collecting weather observation data & our baby food jar barometers are showing distinct “domes” this afternoon 😲 🤔 #makingsciencerelevant #findingpatterns #besafe ⁦@NWSChicago⁩ ⁦@NWSLincolnIL⁩

Cold enough in Flatlands of Illinois today & wanted to do a new video, but w/40-50mph winds 🌬️ = crazy cold windchills 🥶 = hard to freeze bubbles...so enjoy when we made it happen back at the old digs #GRSlegacy #makingsciencerelevant

As we use @Scaniverse to digitally image specimens from the Simpson collection we use in class, here’s #FossilFriday of a nice Miocene permineralized wood specimen from Mississippi #handsonreimagined #makingsciencerelevant

#FossilFriday has us investigating paleoenvironments & how climate has changed in the Midwest ⚒🌎 Love being able to put actual specimens in the hands of students 😉 #makingsciencerelevant @nagtgeo @geoedgsa @geosociety

So begins the upgraded 7th grade Tree Biodiversity Survey 🌲🌳w/ a little data collection practice in our outdoor learning space! Not your parents’ leaf collections! 😲😉 #makingsciencerelevant #gettingstudentoutdoors #WJHtradition

8th graders got out today & began collecting cartography data #oldschool way w/ 🧭 & 📏 mapping #historicblakefield 😉 Did come up w/some interesting discoveries 🤔 We’ll begin plotting the data tomorrow! #makingsciencerelevant

Storms a brewing tonight down here in E. Central IL! 3rd round of the day will make for some good discussion in class tomorrow ⁦@NWSChicago⁩ @NWSLincolnIL⁩ #makingsciencerelevant

Honored to have received many grants for my classroom and happy that my students can present their progress to the Refugio ISD education foundation. #makingsciencerelevant

Refugio ISD teachers are registered for #STATCAST21 #makingsciencerelevant

Land activities- learning to tie knots, cast nets and hook bait. First part of the field trip. #makingsciencerelevant

How can you demonstrate that we have variations in many areas? Use PTC paper! Ss loved it- and many were disappointed they could not taste the bitterness. The Ss reactions are priceless! ⁦@thepeckschool⁩ ⁦@PeckScience⁩ #makingsciencerelevant #whatdoitaste?

First distance learning lab on soil analysis and texture might be a success! I am so proud of my kids for taking this in good stride... #makingsciencerelevant#environmentalscience

Rice relay lab demonstrating the transfer of energy through the trophic levels. Enviro laws of Thermodynamics. Supposed to be a race but they were more concerned about conserving rice.😂😂 #makingsciencerelevant

We see your stratigraphic snow sequence ❄️ and raise you w/our snow monocline from 3 weeks ago 🤣 #geologyanalogies #makingsciencerelevant

#FossilFriday has us investigating paleoenvironments & how climate has changed in the Midwest ⚒🌎 Love being able to put actual specimens in the hands of students 😉 #makingsciencerelevant @nagtgeo @geoedgsa @geosociety

My students got to experience using VR technology today. Thank you @LearningUNDFTD for allowing them to use your equipment with the drop anywhere labs! We’re very appreciative!#makingsciencerelevant #refugiohs

Hurray! We have a graupel sighting today this afternoon at school! ❄️ #teachablemoment #makingsciencerelevant

7th grade Discovery 9 rotation class designing, building bridges to test Friday! Can they meet parameters, hold 100g, AND stay under budget 💵 🤔 #STEM #makingsciencerelevant ⁦@IllinoisSO⁩ ⁦@SOAlumniNetwork⁩ preview 😉

...6hrs later 🤔 #redskymorning #makingsciencerelevant #GRStradition

Ella pointing out the cool cross-bedded sandstone ⁦@INDNRstateparks⁩ Turkey Run…of course using her best “Mr.Simpson” pose. 🤣 #makingsciencerelevant #outdoorclassroom

Inspired by @Glazgow tomorrow I'm going to type inventors into Google Images and just see what the children notice. Then going to hand out list of modern day inventions for children to research, with a lot more woman inventors in the mix #makingsciencerelevant

Magic or physics? At home #electrostatics lab. Just one part of many for an electrostatics lab! Loved getting pics and videos of the kids doing their lab. #physicsisfun #makingsciencerelevant

8th Graders doing a little Forensic Geology ⚒️ today investigating volcanic ash 🌋using characteristics to identify sources! #CER #GRStradition #makingsciencerelevant @nagtgeo @NESTA_US @geoedgsa

Always fun having 6th graders for 1st time canoeing on Iroquois R.! 🛶 Great 1st hand look at river dynamics/ecosystems! Day 3 @earthsciweek @geoedgsa #makingsciencerelevant #GRStradition @AGIEducation @NESTA_US
