Convection Currents

Fifth grade students finished their unit on weather.  Their last experiment was on convection currents. They explored with warm and cold water. After observing, they noticed that warm water is less dense and floats while cold water is more dense and sinks. 

Craters!

Third grade students have been studying objects in the sky and conducted an experiment on craters. They tested to see if height of the object dropped or the mass of an object created the biggest craters. 

Hopping Corn!

Kindergarten students have been conducting different experiments and learning to draw and label what they see. They had so much fun watching the kernels of corn go up and down! 

SCIENCE, SCIENCE, SCIENCE!!!

5th Grade: "Raining Cotton Balls" Lab

 3rd Grade: Studying x-rays! 

 5th Grade: STEM Challenge- OIL SPILL CLEAN UP!!!

 1st Grade: Investigating soil samples! 

 3rd Grade: Observing the phases of the moon!

Kindergarten: Students were using their observation skills and exploring "Magic Milk."

Cloud in a Cup.

Kindergartner came in for a collaboration on the water cycle. They loved watching their cloud eventually "rain." The activity involved them making a hypothesis, drawing what they observed, and writing "how to"statements. 

Separating Mixtures!

Third graders were given the task to seperate a mystery mixture! Once realizing the mixture was salt and pepper, they had to decide on a plan to separate the salt from the pepper. After several tries, they realized that the salt sinks and pepper floats. Next they used coffee filters to get the pepper out of the water. Then with the help of evaporation, the water eventually dried leaving the salt in one pile and pepper in another. 

Chromatography

Chromatography is a process in which you seperate colors into their basic components. Third grade students were surprised to see which colors actually made up black!
