🧪🔍 8th grade scientists investigated physical properties through a solubility lab! Students tested sugar, salt, and oil in a mystery liquid, recorded their observations, identified the substance, and calculated density as a math extension. #IBworldschool #belonggrowsucceed

Math students engaged in Building Thinking Classrooms activities, stretching their problem-solving skills while making connections to prior learning. Working together, they reflected, reasoned, and grew their mathematical thinking! #IBworldschool #aacpsawesome #belonggrowsucceed

IB Design students practiced being Risk-Takers during a fun camouflage challenge! Using only non-verbal communication, they worked together to creatively hide their buddy in the classroom while strengthening collaboration and community. 🎨🤝 #IBworldschool #belonggrowsucceed

8th grade science students used hands-on manipulatives to build models of atoms, molecules, mixtures, and pure substances, bringing the building blocks of matter to life! ⚛️🔬 #IBworldschool #aacpsawesome #belonggrowsucceed

8th grade scientists became density detectives, exploring how this physical property can help identify an unknown substance. Through hands-on investigations, they measured, calculated, and discovered science in action! #IBworldschool #aacpsawesome #belonggrowsucceed

🌙🔦 Students in Science 6 explored the patterns created by the Earth, Moon, and Sun through hands-on learning! Using flashlights and foam balls, they modeled the phases of the Moon and observed how its appearance changes as it orbits Earth. #IBworldschool #belonggrowsucceed

Students in Ms. Cyr’s 6th grade math class put their thinking on display during Building Thinking Classrooms! Using tape diagrams, they described relationships between two quantities, collaborated with peers, and strengthened their mathematical reasoning. #IBworldschool #belonggrowsucceed

Ms. Adamson’s class was hard at work today analyzing "Eleven" through station rotations! Students collaborated with peers, worked with the teacher, completed independent tasks, and used Chromebooks to deepen their understanding of the text. #IBworldschool #aacpsawesome #belonggrowsucceed

Building community starts with understanding each other. Mrs. Hunter’s ELA 8 students explored their classmates’ strengths and struggles, then discussed how their own gifts can make a positive difference. ✨ #IBworldschool #aacpsawesome #belonggrowsucceed
