Did you know that people’s #1 fear is public speaking. #2 is dying! We practiced @ChrisWidener’s secrets of how to talk to Anybody, Anywhere, Anytime. Ss did 2 minute “speed interviews” where they tried to connect with everyone in the class. #lifeskills#gogulllake#glms#glcs
They say life is in the details. The DETAIL on these Mars Bases is unbelievable! I am blown away by what my students created. Ss were tasked with creating a “Mars Colony” suitable to fit the biological needs of 4 astronauts. They did that and more!
Students created water filtration systems to clean dirty water. This is a very simple version of what they have on the international space station. #gogulllake#glcs#glms
Wow. This was a special moment. I think Dad would be pretty proud that we’ve become the first to successfully breed the turtle that he discovered. A rare, and unique species under threat in the wild has just been given a second chance.
Did you know it can take up to 20 minutes for a message to travel from Earth to Mars? Students experienced delayed & relayed messaging in this game simulating the difficulties of space communication #gogulllake#glcs#glms
Students dissected brains today in Medical Detectives class! Ss saw first hand all the different parts of the brain. Most thought it was “awesome, but a little bit gross”. #pltw#medicaldetectives#glcs#glms#gogulllake
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom challenge😀 Balance as many letters and "coconuts"🥥 in the Chicka tree🌴 as you can! K Ss worked in pairs & then groups to practice teamwork! #STEAM#STEM@Dodge_WCSD
We had a PERFECT launch today! Students built model rockets as part of our Rocket Unit, and got to see what real rocket fuel does for propulsion! Students were SO EXCITED to launch. #gogulllake#flightandspace#PLTW#glcs#glms
We are investigating rocket propulsion vs. fuel this week in Flight and Space. We launched stomp rockets with air as our “fuel” today. Newton’s 2nd law played a role in how the mass of our rockets affected acceleration. #gogulllake#glcs#glms#pltw
