What’s happening at TCMS? Today 6th graders in Mr. Davis’ Social Studies class collaborated with Mrs. Conti, our librarian, to learn proper research strategies. They will use these strategies when researching for their WWI projects.
We have had a busy week in our STEM Lab. We started our week with a visit from Angie McDaniel from STEAM TAC and designed Hydraulic Claws. From there, 6th grade created wind powered cars and held a race. 7th grade designed and created Mars landers and tested them to see if they would be effective. 8th grade started their unit on bridges.
