Elements Wanted and STEM Sleuths...Tried it Tuesday

It's Tuesday.
I'm officially done with the 2013-2014 school year.
I wanted to link up with one last school related
Tried it Tuesday with my sweet BBB, Holly from Fourth Grade Flipper.


Tried it Awesomeness #1:  Elements Wanted Posters
My sweet friend, Chelsea, from 5th Grade Wit and Whimsy
shared a really neat Science project that she did with her
class this year and was kind enough to share with me
what she was doin'.

Read her post here and one I wrote here.
I took my kiddos to the Technology Lab where we could
work on our posters...it went much quicker this way.
I will definitely be doin' this again next year.
I learned a lot of new and interestin' facts about the elements
and so did my Rockstars.

Sorry for the poor picture quality.  I had one of my students
take pictures after I had already loaded them in their mailboxes
to go home.  I had forgotten to take pics while they were hangin' up.





Tried it Awesomeness #2: STEM Sleuths

Meet Ted Borduas
 Ted and I used to teach
together...many moons ago in Naples, Florida.
Ted is a phenomenal 5th grade teacher who gets
his students excited about all things,
but especially in the area of STEM.
Ted has created mini videos for teachers and students
to enjoy in his STEM Sleuths series.
He has videos on Sound, Properties of Water, Clouds,
the Sun and Stars and many other topics.
Check them out here.
*If you're a Florida teacher, these will be extra helpful for you.

I've included a sample for you.
