Chillicothe Intermediate School -

🌰🌱🌳🪾Our 3rd grade has been immersed in an integrated life science study. Students completed a model of a botany field science study during a field experience at Buzzard’s Roost. In classrooms, they prepared for and built from experiences to practice math, literacy and science standards. 🥼Using the scientific method and pill bugs, students explored their inherited traits science standard with a hands on lab. And, after 3 years of training in the engineering design process at Chillicothe Primary, students collaborated to design creative solutions to a challenge related to seed dispersal. 🌰🌳
What a fun, in depth learning experience for our Intermediate School learners!

We had a wonderful Veterans Day Assembly to honor all those who served! Thank you, Veterans! 💙🇺🇸 📸: Melissa Johansen

🌿🔎3rd graders as field scientists! 👩🏾‍🔬🌱🧑🏻‍🔬 For this Muddy Boots, students advanced their foundational field science skills acquired in their years at Chillicothe Primary, by applying field science processes through a comprehensive botany study.
🌼✍️📐This integrated learning experience combined life science, literacy, and real-world math applications, including perimeter, measurement, and data collection. Utilizing the citizen science app, Seek, students collaborated to identify and document native flora species. They then conducted a comparative study of the Goldenrod species, culminating in official field notes that elevated their scientific drawing skills.
🗒️🌱🙌 We are incredibly proud of our young field scientists! 💙🤍
