Magical Moments: Sensational Science

Experimenting with surface tension – how many drops of water can you fit on top of a penny? (Her class record was 52!)

This Thursday night we celebrate all the hard work that students (and parents!) have put into their science projects, and in honor of the great and wonderful world of science, today we have several fun photos (and even a few videos!) to share with you from various science classes on campus. Our science teachers are passionate and amazing, and they bring this subject to life for our students in so many fun and engaging ways. Here's just a small sample of what's been happening in our science classrooms this year (thank you teachers, for sending in these photos!):

Here are Mrs. Stowell’s Track A Primary kids learning about bubbles:

…and students creating individual atoms, using the periodic table of elements:

The Lower Middle School students on Track A had fun with dry ice:

And we even have a few videos, sent in by Mrs. Wallace!

This is Newton's first law – an object at rest wants to stay at rest, and an object in motion wants to stay in motion:

So cool! We are very thankful for our team of science teachers who inspire our kids every week.
