5th graders “transferring” through stations to gets a hands on experience with heat transfer, conductors, and insulators. Read it! Sort it! Watch it! Apply it! Do it! WS/FCS Science Petree Elementary WS/FCS Title I Department

Great session from our own Iris Mudd Iris Mudd at the Nat Science Conference on Building Scientific Literacy in Students. I can always learn a new strategy to use and take back to share with my teachers. #NSTA2022 WS/FCS Science WS/FC Schools

5th graders Petree Elementary had a great time with WFU Engineering students learning how to engineer stomp rockets. Students loved getting hands on with force & motion and learning more about engineering careers. Thanks Erin Henslee for the experience! WS/FCS Science WS/FCS Title I Department

Had a great time working with WFU Education students on how to address students’ misconceptions in science through hands-on learning! Can’t wait to see these future teachers in action! Page Keeley

Scientists at Petree Elementary are using problem solving skills to create a disguise to keep their turkey safe from being eaten. Students also identified shapes and counted how many of each shape they used and compared which number was the greatest. WS/FCS Science WS/FCS Title I Department

Thanks for inviting us (Hosni @kdbedell Brad Rhew Lauren Boop MMendoza RAli NRoberts & MAAzcarte-Peril) to contribute to this special collection:

And good on Frontiers for having a journal dedicated to exposing kids to cutting edge science. Frontiers for Young Minds

Getting spooky with STEM Petree Elementary! Kinders using materials to construct a haunted house for their ghost to protect them from the witch. Cara Angie Williard

Covid didn’t stop students at Petree Elementary from experiencing science past the classroom walls! Thanks to @SciWorksMuseum for a great two weeks of fun and interactive field trips! Our scientists had a blast!! WS/FCS Science

A big shout out to @mrmarktownley for presenting to my WFU Education students tonight about the amazing Kenan Fellows program. There are so many great opportunities for NC educators to continue to grow in STEM while in the classroom. Kenan Fellows

We are Rocking and Rolling in 5th Grade! Students are building roller coaster tracks to connect the concepts they have learned during their force and motion unit. Great way to make science hands-on and interactive! Petree Elementary WS/FCS Science WS/FCS Title I Department

Today I had a blast working with Dr. Jo Watts Williams School of Education at Elon pre-service teachers on ways to incorporate hands-on learning in the science classroom. This is one of my favorite events every year. Thank you Erin Hone and Mark Enfield for inviting me to speak.

What a great night of learning! WFU Education students had the opportunity to learn from the best! Thanks warren edward potts and Steven Overholt for sharing best practices for active assessment in science and all the great resources our WSFCS science department offers. WS/FCS Science

The Magic School Bus exists to prepare us for budget cuts so severe that the school bus is now driven by the science teacher

It’s full STEM ahead at Petree! We are excited to have our students back in the building participating in hands-on STEM challenges and engaging in their learning. Petree Elementary WS/FCS Science Burroughs Wellcome Fund WS/FCS Title I Department myfox8.com/morning-show/w…
