✨ We’re capable of so much more than we realize! Sometimes we just need a little reminder that WE CAN DO HARD THINGS 💡 Loving the new neon sign for the STEM Lab! 💖

3rd Grade: Kickstarting the Georgia Regions/ Animal adaptations learning by creating Glow Maps with Lite Brites to illustrate the geographic regions of GA. ✨

Our Adopt a Cow experience in the STEM Lab, students are data detectives! We’ve been tracking & interpreting line graphs showing Lark’s growth and height & weight. Students are seeing firsthand how data tells the story of healthy development & real world agriculture connections!

Meet Tortellini the Leatherback sea turtle! 🐢💚 3rd graders will track her ocean travels through the Fahlo app while learning about Georgia’s regions, animal adaptations, & how we can protect our planet through recycling & conservation. Can’t wait to follow along on her travels!

3rd Grade: Ss are exploring how fossils help scientists learn about past organisms. Ss are creating their own fossil models and using stop motion animation to illustrate how the pieces come together in a sequence, just like real paleontologists uncovering clues from the past! 🎬

5th Grade: Ss genetically engineered animal species. They determined the animal name, habitat, movable parts, inherited traits, and learned behaviors for their new animal. Ss designed animals that were no larger than 6 inches long, 6 inches tall, and 6 inches wide. ✨

The Adopt a Cow program is backkk in the EV STEM Lab! 🐮Drum roll everyone… Meet LARK! 🐄 Looking forward to implementing real world agriculture applications, life science integration, data collection and analysis, technology connections, and engineering opportunities. ✨

5th Grade: Ss surveyed each other to collect data based on their inherited traits to create a bar graph. Great teamwork 5th grade! ✨

2nd Grade: Ss designed and created toys that they could be pushed and pulled using crafty connects! Even pushing and pulling to assemble and disassemble the pieces. So many awesome designs! ✨

2nd Grade: Ss designed newly discovered crayons by determining if it was a reversible or irreversible change. Then Ss used Chatterpix to make commercial advertisements explaining the process of making their new crayon, including the states of matter through the process. ✨

1st Grade: Ss made their own version of a Pac-Man game to demonstrate the effects of magnets on other magnets. 🧲 Great use of the 4 Cs & teamwork 1st grade. ✨

✨ Incredibly honored and humbled to have represented @STEMcobb at the GADOE STEM/STEAM Forum by presenting about the wealth of knowledge I’ve gained since being in the STEM Lab to educators from across the state of GA. Had the best co-presenter! ✨

One of my favorite parts of the year—joining @CobbSchools educators at the GA DOE STEM/STEAM Forum @STEMGeorgia . 🎉 This year was the best yet with so many teaching, presenting, and shining. Already can’t wait for 2026! 🌟🙌

No apologies for the picture overload… 📸🔥 @CobbSchools showed UP at the GADOE @STEMGeorgia Forum! 🙌 Over 50 STEM Cobb educators attended and 20+ presented sessions showcasing innovation, collaboration, and the power of STEM/STEAM! 🚀💡🔬🌎 @DrAdamCasey @STEMTania

Kinder: Sink or Float? Ss investigated whether different materials would sink or float. They charted their observations along the way. Great work Kinder! ✨

4th Grade: Ss converted the daylight average times from decimal hours to whole numbers by rounding. Then analyzed the avg. hours of daylight each month of the year in ATL to determine how the Earth’s orbit affects seasonal changes. Ss are developing a graph to represent the data.

3rd Grade: So many amazing news reporters coming live from all across the world. They reported on their findings of their newly discovered rocks they created and describing the rocks attributes. Blown away by the 3rd graders hard work with this STEM challenge! ✨

Kinder: Look at all the Forky friends!!! Ss were challenged to make a friend for the Toy Story character, Forky. The criteria for Ss was to have their design be made out of at least 3 different materials such as wood, plastic, metal, fabric etc. ✨

5th Grade: Ss are learning about constructive & destructive forces. Awesome teamwork designing barriers to protect Cape Hatteras Lighthouse from erosion. ✨

2nd Grade: Novel Engineering with Sadie Sprocket Builds a Rocket. 🚀 Assemble & Disassemble! Helping Sadie build rockets for her next big adventure to Neptune using only 20 blocks. ✨
