Knoxville Community School District Brings Science Alive! with TCI


	#### “My kids love coming to science. They love that the sections are short, the way it’s broken up, and the organization of it all.” Katie Frey

Grades: 6th and 8th
Subject: Life and Science, Earth Science
District: Knoxville Community School District
Teaching with TCI Since: 2017

With TCI’s middle school science programs, Katie also noticed increased student engagement levels. Her students were collaborating, discovering, and having fun learning. “ My kids love coming to science,” Katie shared. “They love that the sections are short, the way it’s broken up, and the organization of it all.”

TCI is excited to hear about Katie’s success in her science classrooms. We hope she and her students continue to explore phenomena and build their science content knowledge and skills.

Bring Science Alive! Space: Gravity and the Solar System

Students create a solar system model and “visit” the planets. They calculate planets’ distances on a small-scale model.

Bring Science Alive! Planet Earth: Earth’s Tectonic Plates

Students uncover data that support Wegener’s Continental Drift hypothesis. They recreate a map of Pangaea to see how Wegener analyzed evidence that supported his hypothesis.

Bring Science Alive! Cells and Genetics: Interacting Body Systems

Students create a life-size model of the human body. Then, they use the model to explain how all the systems in the body work together.
