8th grade students acted as the Supreme Court and considered various cases involving students and the Bill of Rights. This led to great conversations about their rights as students.
West Liberty Middle School teachers were hard at work during professional development this afternoon, finding ways to promote equitable student discussions. Checkers even got in on the action!
Students in 7th grade Career Exploration collaborated with engineers from Stanley Consultants in Muscatine. They encouraged students to examine different shapes and materials that are needed to create a strong and inexpensive bridge. A guest engineer, Chris Hoffman, volunteered his time to test the bridges. Students calculated the "cost" of the supplies that were used and the strength of each bridge. They were able to see how math and science worked together during this project based learning experience.
