Ms. Hamrick’s 6th grade science students used waxed string to model two kinds of waves: transverse (crests and troughs) and longitudinal (compressions and rarefactions). For each type, they made three versions: a labeled diagram, a low‑energy model (smaller amplitude/looser compressions), and a high‑energy model (larger amplitude/tighter compressions). Using iPads, they photographed their models, added labels for amplitude and wavelength, and recorded short explanations.

Ms. Hamrick’s 7th grade science students got hands-on with geology by turning Starburst candies into models of the rock cycle. Students began by cutting and pressing small pieces together to represent loose sediments compacting and cementing into sedimentary rock. They then applied increased pressure to the candy “rocks” to simulate the transformation into metamorphic rock. Finally, under teacher supervision, they used a microwave to melt the candy, illustrating how molten material cools and solidifies to form igneous rock. This engaging modeling experience helped students visualize how Earth’s materials get recycled.
