Weekley Highlights:
Week 1:
On our first week of our science adventure the students learned about matter, we experimented with turning liquids into solids by taking Orange Juice and watching the process of them changing into popsicles, the students mixed learning with a delicious treat at the end.
Week 2:
This week we took different types of sports balls and tested which ones bounced the highest and why, this was a good activity for the students due to the fact the weather was nice and it gave them extra time outside this week that way they could come up with their results.
