Congratulations to Mrs. Markert for her receipt of a CCEF grant!!! Thanks to Mrs. Markert's and Mr. Garza's efforts writing this grant, students will be able to explore DNA, proteins, and cellular processes, using tools like the P51 Molecular Florescence Viewer and BioBits Labs. With activities like visualizing molecules and designing experiments, students will gain a deeper understanding of biology concepts while having fun. These labs are aligned to STAAR and AP standards, so it won't be just engaging lessons- these resources will also prepare students for success. Thank you to Mrs. Markert and Mr. Garza for recognizing a need and finding a way to help our students receive the best here at Carroll! #WeAreCarroll #TPND #CCEFGrant #Biology #STEM

🚀✨ Physics in Action! 🧪🧠 Our physics students took learning to the next level (literally!) by conducting time trials on different ways of walking up stairs! 📈⏱️ They measured time, calculated force, and discovered how science applies to everyday movements! 💡💪📚 Who knew stairs could be so scientific? 🔍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ #TPND #WeAreCarroll #PhysicsFun #STEMExploration

Congratulations to Iliana Ortiz, our Tiger Staff of the Week!

🧬🔍 Honors Biology: ADI Lab Argumentation Session ✨🎓 Mrs. Markert's Honors Biology students just completed Stage 5 of their ADI Lab on Meiosis—the share session! 💡 ADI (Argument-Driven Inquiry) takes learning to the next level with multiple stages over several days. Students constructed their arguments to answer a guiding question and presented their findings on giant whiteboards 🖍️. Through a gallery walk, classmates explored each presentation, engaging in discussions and sharpening their critical thinking and presentation skills. 🎤👏 A fantastic way to show what you know and grow in science and communication! 🌟 Great job, everyone! #TPND #WeAreCarroll #ScienceInAction #MeiosisMadeSimple #Teamwork #CriticalThinking #HonorsBiology

Our Carroll CTE program had the pleasure of hosting 6th-grade students from Tom Browne Middle School in our shop! 🛠️ This amazing opportunity allowed our future Tigers to get a hands-on lesson in worksite safety and the skills that our Career and Technical Education (CTE) program offers.🥽🔨 With guidance from our Carroll students and staff, the 6th graders even built birdhouses 🐦 and got a glimpse into the incredible pathways available to them. This was an unforgettable experience for everyone involved and we’re excited to see the bright futures of both our current and future students! Thank you to Mr. Delgado and Mr. Holland for facilitating this unique and unforgettable experience!🌟👏💙🩵🐅 #TPND #WeAreCarroll #FutureBuilders #CTE #construction #woodworking
