I have my learning targets posted everyday to google classroom, but I haven't tried this yet. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

We used different length strings to see how it changes sound. Moshannon Valley SD Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko #MVReEnergized

We are looking at the properties of minerals to identify the unknown samples. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

Awesome demo to spark student interest and to get them thinking. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

We are calculating the densities of our minerals today. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

We are writing today in science too!!!!! Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

We are identifying minerals by testing their properties. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

Hard to believe that tomorrow is the middle of the school year. We will be starting Chemistry (in 7th Grade) as our Physics Semester comes to an end. Moshannon Valley SD Dr. Tracie Tomasko Dr. John W. Zesiger #MVReEnergized

We are simulating how a boat crosses a river. They are collecting data that they will use to draw a picture (to scale) of the motion of the boat. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

I should do more self-check activities. It would help students get more immediate feedback. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

We calculated the speed of our “boat” and “river”. We used this data to draw a picture (to scale) that shows the motion of the “boat”. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

7th Graders Annotated an article in science class yesterday. They did a Great Job!!!!!!!!!!! I want to give a shout-out to Mrs. Nagle for helping teach them this valuable skill. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

We are using food coloring and water to study how particles move in a liquid. Moshannon Valley SD Dr. Tracie Tomasko Dr. John W. Zesiger #MVReEnergized

This post reminded me that I haven't had students make flash cards (for our vocabulary) in a while. I know what we will be doing soon!!!! Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

Penn State Engineering Ambassadors came to our class today! Seniors built dinosaurs to compare an individuals time doing it to how fast it could be done in an assembly line. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

Penn State Engineering Ambassadors is having 7th graders design, build and test air plane wings. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

Great use of Art and Collaboration in US History class. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

We played with legos yesterday!!!! We compared times building a dinosaur individually vs. using an assembly line. The assembly line was much faster. Dr. John W. Zesiger Dr. Tracie Tomasko Moshannon Valley SD #MVReEnergized

I can’t wait!!!!

Students made flip books to practice their vocabulary. I picked terms that students were struggling with when doing our rock labs. #MVReEnergized3
