Ms. Merritt & Ms. Fletcher used the Inspire Lab today to build houses to survive a category 5 hurricane! The storm is coming in over Saltar's Point Elementary this evening & is expected to hit land tomorrow morning. Stay tuned to see how their houses do in the storm! Steilacoom Schools
I was inspired by Amanda Quick, M.Ed. 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 Mary Hull NISD STEM Labs
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! Saltar's Point Elementary Steilacoom Schools #steam #inspirelab
Before NASA Artemis 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. 👨🏾🚀⛏️👩🏽🚀 Watch here: go.nasa.gov/3EnDgVt
Today was a busy day in the Saltar's Point Elementary #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. Steilacoom Schools #steam #mysteryscience
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. Steilacoom Schools Saltar's Point Elementary #inspirelab #steam
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! Saltar's Point Elementary Steilacoom Schools #steam
These students took their #engineering #design challenge one step further and lit up their square pumpkin from inside, and from behind! #steam Steilacoom Schools Saltar's Point Elementary #inspirelab #volume
Whitney Martens 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? #msdmvSTEM
Are the leaves in your area putting on a colorful show this autumn? 🍂🍃 Learn about the science behind the color change with this NOAA SciJinks article for kids: scijinks.gov/leaves-color/ Then, make a classroom connection with a "Leaf Chromotography" lesson: nasa.gov/sites/default/…
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 Pioneer Middle School Steilacoom Schools
the first students to use the Pioneer Middle School 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!
