5th graders Hicks Elementary activating their prior knowledge of conductivity and discussing which types of objects are conductors or insulators of thermal and electrical energy #LISDScience

Comparing the density of different liquids and students were shocked to see which liquid was the least dense!! Hicks Elementary LISD Science

Evaporation in action to separate different solutions! ⁦Hicks Elementary⁩ Jaclyn Harris ⁦LISD Science⁩

Energy smoothies in science today!

Students seeing how energy is used in their everyday lives. They loved making smoothies and seeing how a bike pump and a bike all use and transfer energy to perform their functions! Tracy Rehfuss Hicks Elementary LISD Science @Duban4Science

LISOLA DAY 1 was a success! Hicks Elementary

5th grade students Hicks Elementary investigating reflection and refraction, recording evidence with their iPad and embedding it into their digital notebook.LISD Digital Learning

Hicks Elementary teachers and @Duban4Science were intentional about introducing the vocabulary words in context as students experienced them.

5th graders Hicks Elementary exploring how light behaves when it encounters different mediums and recording their evidence on their iPads Jaclyn Harris LISD Science #DigitalLISD

I spy evidence of using iPads to explore the natural world.

5th Graders Hicks Elementary refreshing themselves on #conductors and #insulators to begin our electrical energy and #circuits unit. We are also gathering our data, observations, and pictures in one place in our new digital science notebooks! @Duban4Science LISD Science

5th graders Hicks Elementary participating in the “Fan’n’Pick” vocabulary activity during our circuits unit with academic vocabulary cards on each table for support! Thank you, @Duban4Science for joining us! LISD Science

Cycles and patterns and shadows, oh my! 5th grade students Hicks Elementary began exploring the amazing natural phenomena that occur as a result of the rotation of the Earth on its axis. Day one: sundials and shadows! LISD Science @Duban4Science

5th graders Hicks Elementary showing their understanding of vocabulary and language using models and with an engaging TPR song about Earth’s rotation and the day/night cycle! 🌎 ☀️ LISD Science Jaclyn Harris

My fabulous 5th graders Hicks Elementary are exploring how water can make changes to the Earth’s surface. They made canyons and deltas using water erosion and deposition. LISD Science @Duban4Science

Hicks Elementary is represented at the TECC-West Horticulture plant sale! Is @Duban4Science in the lead? There is still time Sat from 9-5 if they don’t sale out. Lauren Manshack Tabitha Cebrun Julie Gibson see if your campuses will tweet their representation and #homegrownlearning
