🧪🔬 Teamwork in Science! 🔬🧪
Mrs. Brooks’ science classes kicked off the year with a fun and challenging team-building activity to get ready for partnered labs and experiments. Students tackled task cards both with and without talking—learning firsthand how tricky communication (or the lack of it) can be.
They wrapped up by discussing what worked, what didn’t, noticing who stepped up as leaders, who shined at following directions, and creating their own group norms to guide their work together this year. A great start to building strong lab partnerships! #McCrackenProud
