🎉🔬 Science Spotlight! 🔬🎉

Ms. Quinn’s 7th grade scientists showed the power of cooperative learning this week by building their very own “Cell Cities”! 🏙️✨

Students worked together to design creative posters that compared the parts of a city to the parts of a cell — like the nucleus as City Hall or the cell membrane as the city gates. 🚪🏛️

Not only did they bring science to life with imagery and visuals, but they also strengthened their writing skills by explaining how each city part connects to cell functions. 📝💡

👏 Way to go, 7th graders — your teamwork, creativity, and science smarts truly made the classroom buzz with energy!
