It was flippin' good time in Mrs. Farmer's science class as students determined the perfect amount of water for bottle flipping. Students tested four different amounts of water and found out that the perfect amount is a bottle that is about 1/4 full. #LiveLearnLandrum

This week at LMS: iReady testing in Reading/ELA begins. On Wednesday, there is a band field trip. On Thursday and Friday, our 8th-graders are in Atlanta. Don't forget to turn in your job shadow questionnaires to avoid a permanent absence for Friday. #LiveLearnLandrum

🐣🌾 Exciting Things Are Hatching in Ag-Ed! 🌾🐣 Mr. Williams’ Ag-Ed students are getting a hands-on look at the science of life as they set up their classroom egg incubator this week! Students carefully prepared the incubator and placed the eggs inside, where they will be monitored over the next several weeks. If all goes well, the class is expecting to see baby chicks hatch in about three weeks! This project gives students the opportunity to learn about animal science, responsibility, and the incubation process while watching it unfold right in their classroom. We can’t wait to see the chicks arrive! Stay tuned for updates as we count down to hatch day! 🐥 #lmsagricultureeducation #HandsOnLearning #LiveLearnLandrum #RespectExcellenceDetermination

🥚🚗 Egg-citing Engineering in 8th Grade Science! 🚗🥚
Mrs. Quinn’s 8th-grade science classes took on a fun and challenging hands-on project this week — the annual Egg Car Crash Test! Students were tasked with designing and building a car that could roll down a ramp, crash into a brick wall, and keep the egg inside from breaking. Through this project, students put their knowledge of engineering, force, motion, and impact design to the test while thinking creatively about how to protect their fragile passenger. From creative designs to clever cushioning systems, our students showed impressive problem-solving and teamwork as they tested their cars. Some eggs cracked under pressure… but many survived the crash! Great job to Mrs. Quinn and her students for bringing science to life with this egg-cellent engineering challenge! 👏🥚

Mrs. Farmer's science classes did a little core sampling to see how geologists learn about the layers deep in the earth. They made predictions based on their samples and then created a cross-section to see how accurate the predictions were. There were a few surprises. 🔬🧪📋 #LiveLearnLandrum

This week at LMS: Our Student Council travels to The State House in Columbia on Tuesday. Friday is Job Shadow Day! Remember to complete your forms (check your email from Dr. Kitts) and send your photos to Mrs. Moore. #LiveLearnLandrum

The morning will include a special ceremony on the State House steps featuring the presentation of the FFA Week Proclamation and Joint Resolution to the State FFA Officers, along with remarks from distinguished guest speakers. In past years, speakers have included the Superintendent of Education, the Commissioner of Agriculture, and other state leaders.
