VH 7th graders did a phenomenal job using curiosity and perseverance to develop solutions that would reduce the amount of thermal energy trapped inside dog crates in overcrowded shelters. Their hard work makes teaching the most rewarding profession! @Curriculum_RCS @VHMSVikings

7th grade @VHMSVikings used knowledge of forces & energy to develop a plan to power their devices during a power outage. Then they explained to their parents how electricity is generated & determined the best renewable resource for their home. #deeplearning #authenticaudience

I am so proud of these kids. They worked so hard and persevered through a challenging activity. Parents asked them many questions and they were able to answer them! Thank you to the volunteers who were able to come in and to our all parents for supporting our learners every day!

Who doesn’t love playing with magnets? Middle school science students got to explore magnets to help build an understanding as to why they are a necessary component for generating electricity. @Curriculum_RCS #RCSpride @VHMSVikings

It's another fun day in 7th grade science! Students participated in 6 different stations to explore and discover the components necessary to generate electricity. @Curriculum_RCS @VHMSVikings #RCSpride

Future engineers analyzing data to modify their prototype one variable at a time. Their goal is to help overcrowded animal shelters by designing dogs crates that reduce thermal energy. @VHMSVikings @Curriculum_RCS

Thank you so much to the Oakland County Animal Control for coming to @VHMSVikings to help our students understand that what they do in the classroom applies to the real world. Bonus: having a puppy in the classroom always make a good day! @Curriculum_RCS

I am honored to work with many dedicated science teachers. We spent time looking at how to incorporate reading strategies to support science students. We had opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across the district about reading, science and instruction. #rcspride

Well done Mrs. Folmar! The 6th graders played so well tonight. They definitely do not seem like they just started playing a little over two months ago. 👏 @VHMSVikings #VHunited #RCSpride

Amazing first day of OS Science Coaching Series! Reps from 9 districts witnessed the power & JOY coaching can have in elementary science as we observed a co-taught lesson from the great Pam Moreman & Stephanie Horne. Thank you, Jillian Knapp @OrionOaks @LkOrionSchools

Mr. Norris’s science class is also working hard to figure out the cause of “RAD” disease. The students had some really convincing arguments on the cause! @VHMSVikings #RCSlearn #RCSpride #VHunited

Mrs. Smiler’s class is having a blast looking at sheep brain and muscle tissue to figure out what is causing “RAD disease”. The kids said, “Science is gross but so fun!” #rcslearn #rcspride @VHMSVikings

These 6th graders were so excited to show me their system model. Then they had opportunities to give and receive feedback on their models. Love the excitement! #RCSlearn @WestMS_Warriors @Curriculum_RCS

Have you ever wondered why we have different traits? Of course it’s because of our genes, but what is actually going on in our bodies? Check out these models on colorblindness from our 7th grade scientists! #RCSlearn #VHunited #rcspride @VHMSVikings
