Kicking off our Astronomy unit with How Big? How Old? How Far? 🌒🚀⭐️

Creating a scaled model of the Solar System in Earth/Space Honors today! We are looking at the size of the SS as well as patterns in its formation.

Engineers from each team met to discuss their Mars habitat design today! Creative problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and cooperation in action! Building begins Monday!! #lhpclassroom #lhps

Trying out some new Kagan Publishing & Professional Development structures to review for tomorrow’s test on electromagnetic spectrum & stars! It may be early but RallyCoach has kids engaged and learning!

Mars Habitat Project ✅ We took our summer reading book as a PBL opportunity! Each team built a specialized room within a larger habitat. Yesterday, we finally put them together! See our video tours at: lhp7thgrade.weebly.com #LHP #LHPClassroom #nasa #PBL #STEMeducation

Our 7th graders got to spend time working with moon and meteorite samples on loan to us from NASA! The precious moon rocks are living history having been collected and returned on Apollo missions! Many of the meteorites were collected in Antarctica!

7th graders are exploring Earth’s past with fossils and creating scaled models of Earth’s 4.6 billion year past!

Making plate tectonics fun (and delicious)! We modeled the landforms that result from convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries! LHPclassroom American Geosciences Institute #earthscience #platetectonics #teachingwithfood #MondayVibes

Making a mess! We’re reviewing key geology concepts with GeoStations for 2 days. A special thanks to last year’s Give A Gift Program and our new stream table! @lhpsclassroom @
