Students in Mrs. Dickinson's and Mrs. McCormick's classes had an exciting and hands-on Science experience as they continued exploring all about matter! Students investigated everyday objects: a ball, paper clip, and pencil eraser to examine their properties. Working together in teams, they discussed and recorded observations about each object, just like scientists!

Using balances, students measured the mass, tested for magnetism using magnets, and observed whether the objects would sink or float in water. Our scientists also compared temperatures by testing three different water samples: room temperature water, water that had been sitting outside, and chilled water from the fridge.

Just like real scientists, students asked questions, made predictions, and used tools to measure and observe matter. It was an engaging Fun Science Experience full of discovery, teamwork, and applying science skills in meaningful ways!
