Our middle school science classes have been busy these past couple of weeks exploring density, inertia, mass, momentum, and velocity! 🧪⚙️📊
Our students haven’t just been learning science—they’ve been thinking like scientists, designing like engineers, calculating like mathematicians, and creating like artists! 🎨
Through hands-on activities, problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork, they’ve been putting their learning into action and discovering that science is all around us! 🌎✨
We are so proud of their curiosity, creativity, and willingness to try, test, and learn!
