Over the past two weeks, Miss Walsh’s 7th grade ELA students have dived deep into the world of epidemics! In this hands-on unit, each student group became experts on a different epidemic, taking over a class period to teach their peers. From creating guided notes to leading an interactive lesson with follow-up educational activities, they truly brought learning to life! 🌟 #StudentLedLearning #EpidemicExperts #HandsOnEducation #SASADragons
Today marked the beginning of a working partnership between SASA and the Central Michigan University College of Medicine. Professors and medical students from CMU joined our science teaching staff to present a two-hour workshop on the human eye. The workshop included a dissection of a cow eye, lessons on eye pathology, hands-on exploration of lens optics, and an informative Q&A session with the med students. We are looking forward to hosting future events with the CMU team including job shadowing, panel discussions, and workshops on other organs.
