As part of our unit on Photosynthesis, we spent the day outside and inside doing a Lab experiment on CO2 levels of plants! The kids got to use the Texas Instruments Scientific Calculators with the Vernier software attached to a CO2 sensor. They plugged the CO2 sensor into a clear plastic bottle in which we had put freshly picked weeds from the school yard. We did one trial outside with the sunlight and higher CO2 levels, then we went inside and did another trial. The students watched the calculator as it recorded data for 10 minutes each time, and then drew their own picture of the graphed data that was shown on the calculator screen.

Thanks for visiting my blog! My name is Maggie Carrillo, or 'Mrs. C' as most students prefer.

I am your friendly 7th grade Science teacher!

Teaching Philosophy:

In my classroom, we are all learning TOGETHER!
I promote equality, respect, imagination, creativity and curiosity.
In a nutshell, I believe that "people must KNOW that you CARE, before they CARE what you KNOW." I let all my students know that I care about them first and foremost as a human being, and secondly as a Learner.

In addition, it is my goal to infect each student with a "No Excuses" mind set - I want them to have the highest expectations for themselves. I hope they will use their skills, individuality, and confidence to overcome any obstacles or challenges that they face. We all have our own journey to walk, and each person has a unique story.

This has been my first year at Harris MS and I enjoy working with a wonderful staff of dedicated teachers, administrators, and ambitious students. We can always improve on who we are and what we do.
