7th grade science students became “birds” this week in a natural selection lab. Using “beaks” made of spoons, binder clips, tweezers, or chopsticks, they competed against the other birds in their group. If they did not eat enough, they did not pass on their genes. They had a blast investigating which beak variation was best for survival and what happens to populations over time! 🐦 #STEM
Last week, Mrs. Justice’s students read an excerpt from the play The Phantom Tollbooth and also watched the film version. They spent the week comparing presentation of events, analyzing character development, and studying plot. 📖 🎥

PGM has enjoyed celebrating them this week! ❤️ #APWeek #OneLowndes
