2nd Grade has been studying the states of matter. Yesterday’s focus was the state of gas.
Today we did a spooky experiment to see what would happen when we mix water, vinegar, and baking soda in a Frankenstein ziploc baggie.
It wasn’t the explosion they anticipated, but we observed the gasses expand and max out the bag!

3rd Grade went to Crex Meadows on a field trip this October. Students could trek through the pond to explore and identify invertebrates, a connection to our Animal Classification unit. Students also were able to learn and apply their knowledge of survival skills in activities such as building shelters!
GHS students in Physical Science used a melting point apparatus to determine the identity of unknown substances. They practiced how to load capillary tubes and became familiar with the sensors that help them collect data! 🔬
