I am having a blast this summer, getting to be part of this type of programming for kids. Not only at @we_are_vaei can young scientists spend their day at the institute, we are all over West Michigan working with many different communities. #stem#steam#inquiryscience
Things are buzzing with activity at VAI Education's Futureville Summer Camp! Students are designing their own wind turbines while exploring the principles of renewable energy, efficiency, and conservation. We can't wait to see what they create! 🌱⚡🧑🔬 #STEM#PBL
Students in Ms. Nikki’s class at Terry Fox Elementary practiced their observation skills and identified variables in yesterday’s #smarterscience lesson. They may have had a little fun doing it ;) @ysc_sjc#inquiryscience @asdnnb @stemnorth#stepstoinquiry
First time trying this but will definitely do it again! Students are loving #seamonkeys Clear results made it easy to learn variables, controls, and hypotheses in the context of biotic and abiotic factors within ecosystems. *Videos in comments* #handsonscience#inquiryscience
Where do plants primarily get the materials they need to grow? Some groups are testing water, some are testing air, some are testing soil, and I’m modeling with sunlight! #inquiryscience#SEED102#MSpride#d102learns @Daudelin102
TODAY at 12:30pm - DPI Science Ed Consultant Kevin Anderson will give an overview of a statewide science inquiry lesson as a part of WI Salt Awareness Week hosted by @WISaltWise. Join Kevin’s talk on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=j46Q9tp0…#inquiryscience#saltpollution
G5 Ss used the built-in voice recorder on #iMovie to share the outcome of their #NGSS#InquiryScience#moldterrarium experiments overtop of their #timelapse video footage, highlighting the change (or lack thereof) that occured due to their controlled variable

Study suggests #InquiryLearning:
(1) Leads to substantial learning.
(2) Substantially contributes to the formation of long-term retention.
(3) Closes the gender gap.

The trout have hatched but some died. Most of them are alive. They are in the shape of a weird V with their yolk sack. They are black and still have their yolk sack, which is orange. -Wylie Sheets #5thgrade@BertrandVikings#inquiryscience#turnituptoesu11
