2nd graders Sartori Elementary are still buzzing about bugs! Today they released the butterflies they raised & observed. So much learning, asking questions, and doing research from observing this process!

2nd graders Sartori Elementary will meet their classroom visitors next week to kick off the ELA/Science integrated unit on insects!

Butterfly larvae are in transit. Crickets, meal worms, & Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches got settled in today.

Look what came today!! I know it's free online but sometimes it's nice to have a hard copy. So many great cases & scenarios to dig into with teachers!

Firing up the 3D printers for some fall 5th grade projects so had to test them... muahaha

Why am I so mesmerized by printed hinges? This is one print. No assembly. Just works off-the-bed.

Conceptually, I get how the design works. But I still find it magical 🥰

So close to our goal!!

Yummy popcorn for you and 5th grade students get to go to outdoor school for 4 days! Closes Oct 2nd!

3rd graders Sartori Elementary are learning about noncontact forces. Recently, students made & compared various configurations on magnet toys, measured gap size & explained why gap sizes would vary. Up next: Use this conclusion to figure out configuration to launch top magnet highest!

5th graders Sartori Elementary started a conservation of matter unit this week! They halved fractions & measured ingredients to make 1/2 recipe. They weighed each muffin before & after baking.

After baking, Muffins increased in volume but decreased in mass! How/why does that happen?

4th graders Sartori Elementary kicked off their study of local salmon populations & habitat health by 👀 📓 🗣 about 2 videos & generating questions. Tomorrow they do part 1 of Environmental Science Center Salmon Heroes program w/mathematical modeling while learning about life cycle stages!

How did I organize the data?

How else could I organize and/or display this data?

Is it useful data? For whom?

I acquired a new member of my plant crew 🪴 🌱 🌿

The tag has some claims...
'Scientifically proven to convert CO2 into oxygen.' 😅

I mean, they aren't lying...

Enjoying some Cheez-its and had to play with my food first :)

What math do you see? What math questions could you ask and answer by manipulating 36 cheez-its on a 6' folded napkin?
