🪨🍬 6th grade science took a sweet trip through the rock cycle with Airheads in "Airhead Valley"! Starting as igneous rocks, students ripped up their Airheads to create "sediment," compacted and cemented it into sedimentary rocks, then added heat to transform them into metamorphic rocks! Hands-on (and tasty) science at its best! 🔥

🔍 This week in 8th grade ELA, our students turned into detectives! They completed a crime scene inferencing activity, analyzing evidence across 7 stations to piece together the story of a crime. This hands-on experience ties perfectly into our suspenseful short story unit, building those critical thinking and narrative skills. 🕵️‍♂️📚
