Thanks to @TheBeeCause @WholeKidsFnd for the grant award to renew our indoor observation bee hive. We appreciate the monetary prize and all the goodies. Excited to bring back the bees!#beesknees#envirokid

@WMAES gym class looks like this! Outdoors, active, engaged and learning. Students are so resilient and adaptable, they are loving winter Phys Ed#envirokid#winterphysicaleducation#handsonlearning

We missed our @WMAES students the last 2 months-so glad to have them back. We are right back at it today on this sunny day. 6th grade Enviro Science students collected animal track data and will create graphs of the results-stay tuned. #envirokid#tracking

Greetings @ellenbacca My students @WMAES think these are Cirrocumulus clouds! Can you confirm?#envirokid#askameteorologist

8th grade @WMAES spent a few weeks learning about the environmental and health impacts and personal risk that is associated with using wood to cook indoors. They made some clean cookstoves and saw how they work. Check out this video to learn more

What a beautiful day for learning outdoors! Environmental Science K and young 5 friends @WMAES read “A Nest is Noisy” and headed out for a hike to discover what’s around us. They found nests and much more#envirokid

Science ? of the day @WMAES-What pigments can be found in an Oak leaf that aren’t currently visible? 2nd graders had a leaf lesson to find the answer, which will be revealed next week#chromotography#envirokid#handson#fall2020#towergarden

The question the kindergarten classes explored today is: “Are there more seeds in a larger pumpkin?” We hypothesized, weighed, sorted and counted and the answer is YES! Great sorting, counting snd fine motor skill practice#envirokid#learnoutside#fall2020

It may be a dreary day outside, but head to the forest @WMAES to find a beautiful rainbow of leaves#envirokid#treeid#sorting#handsonscience

Measuring, math & adaptations today with the gorgeous leaves @WMAES. Students compared the petiole length of leaves found in the sun and ones found inside the forest#envirokid#handson#mathoutside

Learning about composting can be FUN when you can do it yourself. @WMAES 2nd graders learned the science behind soil making and got some exercise in as well#envirokid#learnfromnature#handsonscience

Today was a brilliant day @WMAES to learn about birds and their adaptations #envirokid#learnoutdoors

RT @PLT: [Watch, 4 mins.] Class gardens are an excellent way to teach while providing safe, hands-on opportunities to learn science, math,….

7th graders @WMAES used their classroom knowledge of food webs and food chains outside for Environmental Science class. They created living webs by collecting specimens in the meadow and forest#envirokid#handsonscience

The trees on the @WMAES WMAES campus are starting to show us their colors. 2nd grade had a great time even in the rain discovering seed dispersal and enjoying the fall#envirokid#fall2020

@WMAES loves when @Maranda visits. Thanks for the support!

4th graders @WMAES have been studying the structure and function of plants. Today they got up close and personal with flowers and learned about their specific structure. #nextgen#envirokid

Technology and STEM @WMAES was outside testing out their woven rafts. They wanted to know how many marbles their raft could hold before it sank. Check out the homemade raft#envirokid

Frost warning in effect for @WMAES tonight! We harvested what was left out in the gardens. What a great growing season and awesome opportunities to feed and educate our students#envirokid
