!!!PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT NEEDED!!!!
During the last 2 weeks of school, December 2021, I performed a science show for all students PreK-6 grades. I used science to tell the story of our IB Learner Profile Traits. Students experienced being reflective, caring, knowledgable, open minded, risk takers, and balanced. I included the experiments below for students to try at home.
