A beautiful Saturday morning for a training at @NaplesBotanical 4th grade teachers are trained on a flower and seed dissection that takes place during a field trip.
Ranger Lisa and Ranger Michelle from @BigCypressNPS teaching our Kindergartners about alligators during ZooCon. We love our community partners that help us learn about our keystone species. @NaplesZoo
Science Fair Expo tomorrow from 8:30 am-11:30 am at the District Building. Get help with your forms, be a rule book detective, and practice judging to better your board building skills.
Early release day allowed for teachers at @hceotters to have professional learning on blending inquiry with explicit instruction. We are teaching just enough just in time to allow students to do the thinking. #MoonPhases#HandsonLearning
It’s heating up in 5th grade science at @GGElementary Starting our year strong with a hands on lab. Investigating which cup will keep our ice water the coldest.
4th grade ZooCon is live from @NaplesZoo on the education channel. Join our National Geographic Explorer @lukedollar share his knowledge of lemurs with our students.
Our teachers warming up their drawing skills. I can’t wait to see how they help their students practice science with nature journaling. @NaplesBotanical
Elementary science teachers practiced nature journaling and how to incorporate into our lessons. Thank you @NaplesBotanical for partnering on this training.
Field trip specialist training at @NaplesBotanical Teachers practice flower dissection lab, seed dispersal lab, and observing pollinators and native plant species. Beautiful day with amazing 4th grade teachers. @collierschools
Looking for a simple activity to do with your kids? Celery going bad because your kids won’t eat their veggies? Here’s a solution. Add food coloring to water and observe what happens over the next few days. Add a cup of plain water as a comparison (control group).
Collier Regional Science Fair is finally here! We are so grateful to have such talented and promising scientists! 👩🏽🔬 🤓🧬🧫🔬🔭🥼🧪🧑🏼🔬👨🏽🔬🧑💻👩💻

Had a great morning seeing @PoincianaCCPS 4th graders learning about famous scientists and exploring science tools. This brand new teacher did a great job with her class!
Another fun day with Kinder, First, & Second grade teachers. I loved hearing teachers share best practices and how they would implement strategies from training in their classroom.
K-2 teachers worked on a five senses unit to prepare for the start of the year. They used their five senses to determine the mystery jellybeans. They also used their sense of smell to name the scents. @collierschools
Students at @ParksideProud went outside to see the solar eclipse. @mrwarescience set up a model to demonstrate the eclipse. This was a great experience of a natural phenomenon.
Great ISS (International Space Station) viewing coming up soon for the @collierschools area!
View will start to the NNW and cross the sky from North to the East.
AgVenture Naples provides opportunities for students to learn about Florida’s agricultural resources. @collierparks was a great host. Thank you to @FlaFarmBureau and @UF_IFAS for putting this together.
STEAM in action in @T3achWithM3 3rd grade class. Students were creating a laser maze. They applied their knowledge of light to hit the target. @LPEPanthers
It’s a purrfect day for Panther ZooCon. @collierschools 5th graders learn about how the panther is an umbrella species and we need to protect them. Thank you @NaplesZoo for hosting.
Dr. Luke Dollar visited a few 4th grade classrooms after Lemur ZooCon. Our students asked amazing questions and we loved learning from Dr. Dollar. Thank you @NaplesZoo for a great partnership. @collierschools
Professional Learning Day with a few 4th and 5th grade science teachers means sharing notebooking ideas, nature journaling, and of course an experiment. @collierschools
