iReady testing in the morning means design challenge in the afternoon! I challenged my class to create a made up animal and draw its lifecycle. Then they use our makers space to bring their animal and lifecycle to life! @LowryElementary @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience

Life cycles are happening!! Bean plants planted, 3rd “crop” of caterpillars, 6 chrysalis and some froglets made an appearance! Favorite part of 2nd grade. Engagement right up to the end! 🌱🦋🐸@WeAreHAEST @LowryElementary @HCPSElemScience

In celebration of Earth Day this week, we are making friendship bracelets out of plastic bags after reading the book One Plastic Bag. 🌎💚 the kids are having such a great time, learning how to braid and passing out their bracelets around @LowryElementary! @WeAreHAEST

This teacher traveled to Dallas, TX for the 2024 Total Eclipse! One of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. I am so happy I was able to take my boys on this adventure with me. Science in action 🌘🌑🌒@LowryElementary @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @HillsboroughSch

We are working hard on observing soil and comparing the different types of soil in our classroom. We even collected all the “ingredients” needed to make a good soil! Amelia brought in a sample of her compost from home. @LowryElementary @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience

So much happening even though it’s a short week! Fossil dig, crystal/mineral observations, sugar cube rock changes over time investigation, sooooo many caterpillars, symmetry butterfly paintings, spring stem centers, an amazing author visit and we still have field day tomorrow!

Science ROCKS! Since finding interesting rocks around the school yard can be challenging, we found ours in Easter eggs around the classroom! We also inferred where our rocks might have come from based on the properties. 🪨@LowryElementary @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience

Our rock unit started with some “Sham-Rocks” Strange green rocks showed up in our classroom so we investigated the physical properties! 🍀We found that the “rock” sunk and then dissolved to reveal a floating gold coin! @LowryElementary @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience
