Awesome Cell Model

This is the best cell model I've had from one of my students. Huge props to Amy for her hard work, creativity and skill. Its also the most educational pillow ever! Next is our cell division comic and hopefully Amy's will feature "Phyto".

Superworm Races

Go Zophobas morio!  Last week, we studied a living organism as part of our Introduction to Biology. Kids learned about Superworms (related to mealworms) not through research but by collecting qualitative and quantitative data. Here are a group of my kiddos measuring distance traveled in 5 minutes.

Ice Cream!

Its been insanely hot these past few days in San Diego.  Last year, I started coordinating a school-wide incentive program that rewards GPA achievement.  Today, we were able to reward students earning a 3.0 or higher with an ice cream social.  With the weather this extreme, the ineligible students appeared to be very dissappointed that they were missing out.   Next week, we reward 3.5 and higher.

Stable Mates

Everyone should have 4 wheels, right?
