So cool! Plus, I smile when I read about Juno checking out Jupiter’s moons because I love the sense of humor behind naming a mission to these moons (named for the Roman god’s lover) after the Roman god’s wife. (Rocket) Scientists rock!

Something else to add to the resources section of my Google Classroom.

Awesome critters spotted on our camping trip in NY’s #FingerLakes. The blinded sphinx #moth has great camouflage, the dark fishing #spider is big enough to catch small fish, and the #toad is tinier than my pinkie nail.

On the one hand, this is fascinating. On the other, I really don’t want to experience this first-hand.

Names matter.

Hey, teacher-friends! You are all appreciated!

I never had the pleasure of teaching Katie, but I was Erin's 6th-grade science teacher. I still remember when we built & tested kites, running down the long hallway before taking them outside on a very windy day! #GatorStrong Stone Ridge washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/07…

Ouch?!?

Our Back-to-School Night for our #MiddleSchool Stone Ridge is September 7th. I'm so looking forward to meeting our parents. See you soon!

4 students, one on each side of a square table. 4 views of the “mystery cube.” What do you observe? What do the other 3 people observe? You can’t move from your seat or touch the cube. What claim do you make to answer the question, “What’s on the bottom?” What’s your reasoning?

Students (and staff!) are signing the “Earth Champion Pledge.” This not only fits our Grade 6 Environmental Science program, but coincides with the #seasonofcreation2023 Stone Ridge

Well now, this National Geographic article is quite timely as we're soon starting to discuss what makes a place "habitable." nationalgeographic.com/premium/articl…

My classes are learning about different kinds of variables and what makes a "Fair Test." This is a nice virtual exploration that we're using. scootle.edu.au/ec/viewing/L54…

Our Jr. Scientists are working in small groups, investigating a “new life form” on ExploreLearning Gizmos. Can they create a fair test to determine which environmental factor influences this life firm’s body shape?

#MiddleSchool #ScienceTeachers We're looking for some diagnostic test we can give at the start of 6th, 7th, & 8th grade to address gaps students have from the previous grade's Next Generation Science Standards expectations. Does anyone know of such tests?

We’re trying to figure out how to tell the difference between sedimentary and igneous rocks. Stone Ridge

I just started using this at a friend's recommendation. I'm planning to use it to help me give feedback, as well as to lower the reading level on useful articles for my 6th graders.

Once a Stone Ridge girl, always a Stone Ridge girl! We are so proud to call you a Gator!
