Students in 8th Grade Science  worked in groups to design a car that could carry cargo both short and long distances without an engine. Students tested their prototypes and then redesigned them, applying their knowledge of potential and kinetic energy as well as the transfer of energy in order to build a successful and working prototype.

This month second grade students are learning about matter. They completed a science experiment called “Blowing Up Matter!” The students were given 3 balloons in a bin. One balloon had air in it, one balloon had water, and the other balloon had frozen water inside. The students needed to discover which balloon was a solid, liquid, and gas. They then needed to make a hypothesis about what they thought would happen when they popped the balloon. Students enjoyed being scientists and exploring their hypothesis!
