Ahh Science!

Have you been to the science lab lately? Our 5th grade students are growing a variety of crystals and are learning about solutions. In the science AG this week, the students were exploring different forms of erosion. Here students are working together to create ocean waves that will slowly erode the pretty beach that Frau Ramadan and Frau Wester had set up - all for the advancement of science!
When I talked to the students they were eager to share the experiments and what they found out. Throughout their time in the lab they learned about the process of scientific inquiry, how to follow written instructions, observe and draw conclusions - all skills that we are focusing on in our classroom, too.
