As an intro to adaptations, we tested out just how valuable having thumbs truly is. Students completed a list of everyday tasks, first with the use of their thumbs, the 2nd time without! 👍 In their own words: “this feels weird!!”#adaptations#scienceinreallife
Mrs. Powell’s Physical Science class tested pH levels of household liquids. They worked collaboratively with partners to determine if the liquids were acids or bases and determined their strength-strong or weak.

#jackisback Our fall science experiment has come full circle! There were many faces of Jack, but we now have a new pumpkin start! Can't wait to share it with my scientists! Now, to remember to bring it in from tonight's freeze🥶 #scienceinreallife@DranesvilleD
If you have an old coaster lying around, bring it into work and use it as a lid for your standard coffee mug.
It keeps your drink clean, prevents the radiation from warming it in the microwave and keeps liquids warmer for longer!
This hack is a game changer☕️

Our 7th grade students had the unique opportunity to hear from the 2017 Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry, Dr. Joachim Frank. He is a professor at Columbia University and spent over an hour discussing his findings and allowed for our students to ask questions! #scienceinreallife
This quarter Year 7 have been looking at forces. They are currently finishing up looking at the role of parachutes within the context of the recent landing of Perseverance on Mars by researching and designing parachutes. #scienceinreallife#skills
Naturalistic observation design: how many days does it take for a family member other than the mother to bring a new roll of toilet paper down to the “guest” bathroom in the age of COVID-19? You guess. I’ll return later with the results. #drumroll#scienceinreallife#COVID19
Our newest friends in Room 10! My scholars are so protective and WILL tattle if you touch the net. If you are curious about butterflies, stop by Room 10 and ask because we know all 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 facts👏🏻! @HMSANTAFE@HMC1Proud @clmerkerson #scienceinreallife#msfrysallstarscientists
The VA Association of Science Teachers PDI opening was inspiring, going to start using “Confessions of a Marine Biologist to show students real science in action! @drmikegil#scienceinreallife Cannot wait to see what incredible learning happens today! @VaSciTeachers
We talked to a REAL cowgirl ranch hand today and asked questions about adaptations of animals and interactions of living things! #scienceinreallife @neprisapp @PREPKC@HMSANTAFE @HMC1MeYouUs @clmerkerson
Room 4 has been collaborating with @miss_fry3 to show what living things need!! We learned about the habitat of a Caterpillar. Excited to see how big they get over the weekend! @HMSANTAFE @clmerkerson
