Last week in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS we used microscopes to look for evidence of life. This week we developed experiments to prove the theory of spontaneous generation wrong, complete with a gallery walk to share with our peers. Onward to Cell Theory! #WeAreChesterNJ
Great first week in 7th grade @BlackRiverMS ! We planted seeds, sorted out classroom rules, stacked cups without our hands, and evaluated group dynamics with puzzles. Can't wait to see what next week holds! #WeAreChesterNJ
Thank you @johnmarshall_wx for an awesome assembly today @BlackRiverMS! This program has it all: STEM topics, weather concepts, green screen fun and career exploration. Special thanks to the @EFChesters for bringing this program to our school!
This week in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS we modeled the process of photosynthesis to show how plants synthesize glucose and trap the Sun's energy. Good times! #WeAreChesterNJ
Good times today in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS. My students rocked the Locked Cabinet Breakout by applying their knowledge of cells! #WeAreChesterNJ
Are animals, plants, and cells all that similar? Let's sort and compare life sustaining functions to find out. @BlackRiverMS #WeAreChesterNJ
Cell organelle scavenger hunt with my 7th grade scientists @BlackRiverMS. I wonder what this one does? #WeAreChesterNJ
7th grade scientists had a great time today developing a model to show the levels of organization in living things. @BlackRiverMS #WeAreChesterNJ
Over the past couple of days my awesome 7th grade scientists @BlackRiverMS searched for signs of life when given various specimens. Overall consensus: look for cells, movement, and evidence of life processes. #WeAreChesterNJ
First day lab @BlackRiverMS: create a green solution without mixing dyes or water. We'll evaluate the best technique tomorrow! #WeAreChesterNJ
What an awesome first marking period it was in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS! We explored the characteristics of living things, levels of biological organization, Cell Theory, and cell anatomy. Onward we go! #WeAreChesterNJ
Great week in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS exploring sensory receptors! A bit of everything for all learners: direct instruction, note-taking practice, hands-on lab w/ data collection, content connections video lesson, and @quizizz to have fun reviewing it all! #WeAreChesterNJ
Another awesome week in 7th grade science @BlackRiverMS! We viewed specimens under a microscope to determine if they are living things, classified organisms as uni or multicellular, and practiced skills using @IXLLearning. Have a great weekend! #WeAreChesterNJ
Got my Bulldogs gear on for @WeAreChesterNJ's Virtual Spirit Week. So proud to be part of the amazing staff at @BlackRiverMS! #WeAreChesterNJ
The @BlackRiverMS Cell Project has evolved so much that it now involves @Minecraft. I love #edtech! #WeAreChesterNJ
Identifying and comparing ways in which animals, plants, and cells perform similar functions to survive and thrive @BlackRiverMS #WeAreChesterNJ
Proud teacher moment: my @BlackRiverMS students have already spent 10 hours practicing their science skills on @IXLLearning! #WeAreChesterNJ
Students had a blast today with the Cell Organelle Scavenger Hunt around @BlackRiverMS! Groups were tasked with finding an organelle sign, taking a selfie, and identifying the probable function based on its location in our school. @STEMscopes #WeAreChesterNJ
We love using @quizlet Live @BlackRiverMS to collaboratively review vocabulary and concepts. #WeareChesterNJ
