Sixth graders discovering the connection between structure and function in cells while using digital LCD screen microscopes #DMUSD DelMarSchoolsEduFDN Ocean Air Del Mar Heights
Thank you Ranger Michael Yellowstone National Park for teaching our fifth graders about the biosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere in Yellowstone National Park. We particularly enjoyed learning about the important role that animals like wolves play in maintaining balance. DelMarSchoolsEduFDN #DMUSD
If energy isn't created or destroyed, what happens to it? As they prepare to teach the class, expert groups Del Mar Heights and Ocean Air examine objects for evidence of energy transfer. DelMarSchoolsEduFDN #DMUSD
Why do we have day and night? Why do we see different stars at different times of the year? Using a kinesthetic model to investigate patterns of Earth and sky: If your head is the Earth, and you are standing on your nose, what do you see? Del Mar Heights #DMUSD DelMarSchoolsEduFDN
What is it? How does it work? Is it powered by heat or batteries? What if we connect the sensors with Play Doh? Excited Ss Del Mar Heights and Ocean Air asked questions, conducted their own investigations, and created models using Jamboard. DelMarSchoolsEduFDN #DMUSD
What are the immediate and long-term effects of exercise? Sixth graders Del Mar Heights and Ocean Air measured breathing rate, heart rate, and blood oxygen as they investigated phenomena related to exercise and their bodies. #DMUSD DelMarSchoolsEduFDN
After weeks of investigating sound and crickets, first graders finally figured out the mystery of Mrs. Minarik's silent crickets! Ocean Air Del Mar Heights #DMUSD DelMarSchoolsEduFDN #phenomena
Thank you ENGIE and Energy Observer team for taking our students on a tour of your scientific vessel and sharing the innovations that have made it possible to sail around the globe using only clean, renewable energy. Ocean Air Del Mar Heights #DMUSD DelMarSchoolsEduFDN
.ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover will be traveling faster than the speed of sound when its parachute deploys today above Mars. In 2017, we tested the parachute design inside our hangar-sized wind tunnel, the largest facility of its kind in the world: go.nasa.gov/2ZqQ0F7 #CountdownToMars
"Snorkeling" led Ocean Air and Del Mar Heights to make exciting discoveries and to ask many questions. "This sea star is bumpy and sharp. These two shells match! Where do shells come from? Why do some shells have holes? Why is there a sponge in the ocean?" DelMarSchoolsEduFDN #DMUSD
After investigating what happens when sugar dissolves, 5th grade scientists Del Mar Heights and Ocean Air used the particle model of matter to help them predict how different variables would affect how fast candies would dissolve. DelMarSchoolsEduFDN #DMUSD
Thank you Ranger Trudy Yellowstone National Park for teaching 5th graders Del Mar Heights about the wonders of Yellowstone National Park. We enjoyed learning about the geothermal features and the important role that animals like wolves play in maintaining balance. DelMarSchoolsEduFDN #DMUSD
Thank you Salk Institute scientist Makenna Hopwood for sharing your passion for science and your work on the Harnessing Plants Initiative with 6th graders Ocean Air . It's exciting to hear how plant genetics can be used to fight climate change! Salk Education Outreach DelMarSchoolsEduFDN #DMUSD
So thankful to have students back in the lab investigating cells, mystery tubes, and energy Ocean Air and Del Mar Heights! #DMUSD DelMarSchoolsEduFDN
Inspired by a story about a little bear who was afraid of the dark, first graders Del Mar Heights made adjustable night lights with transparent, translucent, and opaque windows! Testing them during the thunderstorm was exciting! #DMUSD DelMarSchoolsEduFDN
