Saw the Falcon 9 launch from NJ!

The Sixth Grade Students of Caroline L. Reutter School welcomed local broadcast meteorologist Nor'Easter Nick Pittman to their school on November 3. #reutterrocks Franklin Twp Schools

This week in science, we explored human impact by making a demonstration of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Students brainstormed the effects garbage in the ocean could have on not only ocean ecosystems, but humans as well! #NGSS #WhatDoYouWonder

WHO knew we could have so much fun learning about an Owl’s place in a food web with our pellet dissection lab!? 🦉#reutterrocks

Mrs. Zemaitatis and Mrs. Thomas' sixth grade students engaged in a Socratic Seminar about invasive species during their science class today. #reutterrocks Franklin Twp Schools

Students participated in a Socratic Seminar to share ideas about the role gravity plays in our galaxy. #ReutterRocks

Students explored how the relation between the Sun, Earth and Moon determine the moon phases we see from Earth #ReutterRocks

Wiseman. Glover. Koch. Hansen. The next four Moon explorers have been chosen. The Artemis II mission now has a crew. Congratulations to our fellow astronauts! Godspeed and ad astra as your journey begins. Go #Artemis! More: NASA.gov/artemis-ii

Our newest recess equipment to help us better understand how the Sun, Earth, and Moon’s alignment can result in an eclipse! #ReutterRocks

Today we made a scale model to show the distance between the Earth, Moon and Sun. We had fun making predictions then using math reasoning! If the Earth and Moon are 5.5cm apart, then the Sun would have to be about 21m from the Earth 😳 #ReutterRocks

Tonight is the first full moon of spring in the northern hemisphere! Pink flowers coming into bloom lend their name to this full moon. Full moons occur when the Moon is opposite the Sun in its orbit around Earth and its nearside is fully illuminated. moon.nasa.gov/moon-in-motion…

We incorporated art into math today as we explored reflections over the x and y axis #ReutterRocks

This is how planets of the solar system rotate

Using an anemometer during recess to figure out how accurate our weather apps are. We found the results to be comparable!

Scientists worked in groups to peer assess written responses based on the CER method in this fun Be The Teacher activity. I can’t wait to see their own open ended responses flourish as a result!

Would you rather have a super long finger or super stretchy tongue?! Scientists read an article to learn about two unique animal adaptations, and participated in a short Socratic Seminar to share ideas based on evidence #ReutterRocks

Today in math we assessed commonly made mistakes when dividing fractions. Groups had the opportunity to find their favorite mistake and report it to the class

What a fun Friday for science! Today we explored science equipment that we don’t regularly use. Students measured volume of liquids, irregular objects and rectangular prisms using appropriate tools. We also measured mass using a triple beam balance and graphed data! #ReutterRocks

We don't always have to rely on "two negatives make a positive" when subtracting negatives. Here's another way to think about it.
