The kindergarten classes just finished their unit on What is Science? They were able to experiment and discuss some of the many things that science is. Some of the few things they learned about and did were: sink and float, making flubber, making crystals, static electricity, learning about animals, volcanoes, how mountains are formed, plants, constellations, and many more. Did you know that a banana squash floats?! They loved doing and watching science experiments. Science is fun!

On Thursday, February 5th, a scientist from the Discovery Gateway Museum came to our school to do some cool experiments with the fifth graders. Right now, the fifth graders are learning about matter and how to recognize both chemical and physical changes. To help them learn these concepts, the students not only got to see some really cool demonstrations with surprising reactions, but also got to participate in some experiments. They had a great time with this hands-on learning experience!
