Introducing energy with a phenomenon: the popsicle stick chain reaction. It was hard. It was scary. Kids quit 5 times—and restarted 6. I wanted to save them… but then: “We got it!” “SUCCESS!” ⚡️ Welcome to Mrs. Johnson’s 8th Grade Science. ⚡️ #8thgradescience @DrNormanCSauce3

I treated my students to a little end-of-semester magic with hot chocolate frappes and treats to celebrate their hard work. #8thgradeScience #PBISatwork

🌟 Our 8th grade science team had a great time team-teaching today! Students reviewed key concepts for the upcoming science exam — lots of collaboration, questions, and “aha!” moments. 🧪📚 #8thGradeScience #TeamTeaching @jamesthomas3601 @JavierOrtolaza @FRiveraPBC @kgwhetsell

Sweet science 🍬 Today we turned marshmallows into stretchy taffy while learning about physical vs. chemical changes! 🔬 #8thGradeScience #HandsOnLearning #STEM @AmyNWatson1 @SSCMS_FCS @lhwoodruff

🔥🍫✨ Science S’mores = Sweet Learning! ✨🍫🔥 Our 8th graders explored physical and chemical changes the tastiest way possible ,by making s’mores! From melting chocolate (physical) to toasting marshmallows (chemical 🍡➡️🔥), students observed matter in action while enjoying a hands-on (and delicious) lab. Science has never been sweeter! 🧪➡️🍫🔥 #ScienceInAction #8thGradeScience #PhysicalVsChemical #SmoreScience @SSCMS_FCS @lhwoodruff @AmyNWatson1

🎉 Day 1 of #LJTECHi3 Academy! We used @Canva to create “About Me” videos—but now my brain is spinning with ideas 💡 #8thGradeScience #EdTech @cgarza0930 @msgracia15 @pily579 @Leticia_FF77 @KarinaMarin @SaraLeeSanchez2 #LJTECHi3 @LaJoyaISDEdTech

🚀 Tomorrow kicks off Day 1 of #LJTECHi3 Academy! Excited to grow, connect, and explore new ways to bring voice, choice, and tech into my classroom. Let’s do this! 💻📚✨ #TeacherLife #CuriosityClub #8thGradeScience @LaJoyaISDEdTech @CGarza0930 @MsGracia15 @pily579 @Leticia_FF77

Our 8th grade students are diving into our Watershed Unit to get ready for the SOLs! They’ve been learning all about how water moves across the land and why watersheds matter. #8thGradeScience #Watersheds #SOLPrep #ScienceRocks #EMS

Popping into classes today & got the sweetest welcome! 🧬🔬 #8thGradeScience @NISDMSScience

Step into our 8th grade Earth Science classroom where students are taking on Mount Everest! Looking at these student projects, you'll discover how our young geologists are unraveling Earth's epic story. Proud to see these young scientists diving deep into Earth's mysteries. Every rock has a story - our 8th graders are becoming expert storytellers with our first Capstone Project. #StudentScientists #EarthScience #Geology #STEM #MountEverest #8thGradeScience #RockOn

When I tell y’all these two teachers were teaching their hearts out at 7:45am when I started my walkthroughs!! I was wide awake once I left these 2 classes😅 #8thgradescience #8thgradesocialstudies #8thgradeunited #wcmsheartwork2024

Our first #GrudgeBall review game of the year got intense! 💥 Students were all in, working hard and contributing to their team’s success. Proud of their collaboration and energy! 💪 #8thGradeScience #Teamwork @RichardsonISD @rwestjh #RISDBeTheOne

Today in the lab, we were exploring the properties of water and alcohol with our penny drop experiment! Excited to see my students discover the magic of cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension. #sciencelab #8thgradescience #scienceisfun #RISDBeTheOne @rwestjh @RichardsonISD

Proud teacher moment! 👩🏾‍🔬Set the bar high with clear expectations, and my students met it with ease. Love seeing them rise to the challenge! #focused #workinghard #8thGradeScience #ProudTeacher #FutureScientists @RichardsonISD @rwestjh @IamBranum #WestisBest #RISDBeTheOne

It really is rocket science! 🚀 @StovallMS_AISD 8th graders discovered Newtons 3rd Law of motion and made it more meaningful by creating their own action-reaction pair of forces. #balloonrocket #newtonslaws #8thgradescience

Our Judobots are starting to come together on this Engineering Friday. Stay tuned for the Battle of the Bots coming soon! #channahonpride #engineeringfriday #8thgradescience

Kicking off the new year by making a 3D design DNA model with @tinkercad Once again, one of the students demonstrated to her classmates how to make it @SDUSDScience @boxlightinc @mannmiddleSD #ProudTeacher #LeadershipInMaking #Robo3D #3DPrinting #Genetics #8thGradeScience

Did somebody say Field Trip??!! @GeorgiaAquarium @FloydMSCobb #8thGradeFun #8thGradeScience #TeamFloydMS

More evidence of chemical changes were found today in #8thgradescience @WISDBrabham. #bobkats witnessed color changes while precipitates were formed. 🧑🏻‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬🥽⚗️ #BeEPIC #5Emodel
