Super excited about the new tools and techniques I'm learning about with @chibitronics & @InfyFoundation to inspire even more STEM creativity in our students @powhatanms! For my weekend homework, I made an animated storyline for The Watsons Go To Birmingham. Hey, @elateacher212!

Thankfully the wildfire haze cleared enough to let 🌞 through for our solar cars! What a great week of STEM with these fantastic elementary teachers.

Working with a fabulous group of elementary teachers this week as we explore ways to integrate STEM in their curriculum! @BrownDogGadgets sent free samples, and the teachers made #SolarBugs, designed adaptations for them, and created triorama habitats to showcase their designs.

I received a few free samples from @GetTeacherGeek and loved them enough to buy some sets for my lab. This week, we tried out their #RubberBandRacers to help review forces, motion, energy, and experimental design. These 8th graders had a great time innovating! @powhatanms

It was delightful to see the joy these two experienced in building (and destroying!) their @KEVAplanks ball run! @SheilaF63386927 @powhatanms

Got to work with the whole 6th grade (>300 lovely students and their English teachers) creating X-games events for their unit on figurative language. See the swooshing skis slide swiftly down the snowy slope! #alliteration @MrsBrownLASS5 @powhatanms

Introducing a group of 6th graders to @birdbraintech #hummingbirdkit as they design robots to solve student identified problems. Always exciting to watch them collaborate and teach themselves and each other! #innovate #STEMacrossthecurriculum @powhatanms

Started a new World History project with @civicsnerd. 3D models of ancient monuments built from cardboard and craft materials on a 1:200 scale. Fascinating to see the students work through the process. #Innovate #STEMacrossthecurriculum @powhatanms
