7th graders learn about Potential and Kinetic Energy and create a well structured argument using the CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) model #WeAreDeerPath #LFMoments

Students used exploratory activities to write word problems & collected actual data to practice calculating speed, velocity, distance and time. Thanks to Mr. G for combining our classes for this awesome learning experience. Enjoy the weekend! #WeAreDeerPath #LFMoments

7th grade students learning about different types of forces and drawing force diagrams in this introductory lab #WeAreDeerPath #LFMoments

7th grade students had fun investigating their claims about gravity, projectiles and falling objects #WeAreDeerPath #LFMoments

Our 7th graders experienced flight and indoor skydiving at iFLY Lincoln Park and participated in STEM and science activities-Had a blast #LFMoments Lake Forest School District 67

So proud of our 7th graders-they conducted research, experimented with types of friction & factors that affect friction. Ss ended this activity by designing tire treads that would fare well in wet conditions. Ss collected data & analyzed their designs to recommend the best tires

The Greek Mathematician Archimedes will be so proud of these 7th graders who designed, built and tested their boats to carry the most load of “gems”. Enjoyed the enthusiasm, passion and application of buoyancy in this engineering design challenge #WeAreDeerPath #LFMoments

Thanks to Mrs Ryon for sharing “Quiz, Quiz,Trade” a cooperative-learning strategy in which students review information with other students by asking/answering questions. Helps build confidence in a nonthreatening manner & encourages participation & deeper understanding #LFMoments

What a fun way to end the first week of IAR testing with friendly competitions and games between homerooms. Love the spirit and enthusiasm of the amazing Rahman Homeroom students #WeAreDeerPath #LFMoments

Want to learn more about Newton’s First Law of Motion? Ask our 7th graders who explored Inertia this week #WeAreDeerPath #LFMoments

7th graders learned about Momentum & Energy transfer, as well as elastic & Inelastic collisions. Next class: students will design and test crash barriers. Can’t wait to see how they apply their learning in this engineering design challenge #WeAreDeerPath ⁦Lake Forest School District 67⁩

Impressed by the ingenuity of these students who designed crash barriers to minimize the effect of collisions. Many thanks to Spirit of 67 for their generous grant that allowed the acquisition of Vernier cart systems used in this Engineering Design Lab #WeAreDeerPath #LFMoments

Many thanks to Litsa K, a former student, currently studying Bio-engineering Harvard University, who dropped by my classroom yesterday and spoke to my students. It is always great to see and hear what my former students are up to. So proud of you Litsa! ⁦Lake Forest School District 67⁩

Congratulations to the Deer Path Middle School Class of 2023! 🎓 Deer Path Middle School Lake Forest School District 67 #LFmoments

Jackson qualified for Team Illinois and an opportunity to wrestle at the national tournament. Support his journey by buying a raffle ticket. Tickets are $20 and will pay out $100 each day in August. You can Zelle payment to [email protected]. We will send your tickets US mail.

Happy 4th Hawthorn District 73 !! #BetterTogether

While 3D designing, these STEM students are pushing their boundaries, thinking outside the box, and taking risks with their ideas making a bobblehead and a ball game using ⁦Tinkercad⁩ ⁦Lake Forest School District 67⁩ ⁦Deer Path Middle School⁩

Great presentation and hands on engagement today by Sabiha Rahman, Ed.D. and @DPMArtbursts at the #IDEAcon conference by IDEA

7th graders apply forces, motion & energy as they build functional roller coasters. With a $450K budget, they're mastering teamwork & STEM skills through hands-on learning & managing $ to stay under budget. Can't wait for their sales pitches! Thank you Spirit of 67 for the kits

Thanks Matthew Montgomery, Ph.D. for taking time out of your busy schedule and joining our science class and working collaboratively with students as they explored Newton’s First Law.
