Dissolving Candy Hearts
Prek & Kindergarten - Exploring the chemical reaction of baking soda and vinegar! All students made thoughtful predictions 💭
Weathering & Erosion (Third Grade!)
Students got to explore and see first hand how weathering and erosion impact our world. The hands on lesson students explored required a tray full of sand, rocks and water. The river bank is lined with rocks and we poured water to show the impact of how weather (rain) erodes the river bank over time.
