4th graders matched pollinators to the flowers they pollinate based on their physical characteristics. Thanks @CSLCPS for your help creating this lesson!

2nd graders used @TerrapinBots to create robotic pollinators!

These sweet kindergarten friends built and improved a machine to help clean up toys quickly! So impressed with their problem-solving! @LEGO_Education

We had a great first day in the STEM Lab! 2nd graders used @LEGO_Education science kits to explore how an object’s physical properties affect what it can be used for.

So fun getting to work with 5th grade teachers to explore how creating @LEGO_Education record players can support students’ understanding of sound!

5th graders had to slow the hover ball down to get it as close to the end of the track as possible without going over. They explored how friction, air resistance, and changing the direction of force affect the motion of the hover ball!

Every now and then I’ll get a message that makes me cry 🥹😂 This is one of those messages ❤️

Pre-K students helped Ozobot “bees” pollinate flowers 🌸

Loved having my daughter join me at school today 💕

5th graders used @LEGO_Education to create a record player! They had a blast exploring how the speed of the motor affects the sound of the music! @csforlcps

Exploring dolphin vertebrae and shark teeth at @NSTA!

Building myself as a scientist with @LEGO_Education @NSTA

5th grade students coded @iRobot Root robots to travel to the planets in size order from biggest to smallest. I love the conversations and problem solving you can hear in this video! 🪐

I have the best job 💚

Kindergarten students explore the question, “How can we build a ramp that will make a toy car travel the farthest?”

Kindergarten students worked hard to collaborate and problem-solve as they created marble mazes!

Lots of engineering happening in the STEM Lab this week! Second graders designed pollinators and fourth graders designed space suits for their robot astronauts!
