experimenting with highlighters

3rd graders sure were glowing after their science experiment last week! We studied a form of luminescence, fluorescent light. They mixed water, oil, salt, and the fluorescent chemical from their highlighters to make mini lava lamps. Who knew?!
Then a little fun was had!

Research with 1st Grade

While learning how to research, 3rd graders assisted the 1st graders with their, “All About Animals” project. Students browsed https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/ to discover where their animal lives, what it eats, and gave a few fun facts! I am so proud of the comrade both classes displayed! 1st grade then invited us to hear their presentations and see our commons transformed into a zoo!
