Our science students have been busy with hands-on learning in Mrs. Hamilton’s and Mrs. Degraaf’s classes! Mrs. Hamilton’s class put the law of conservation of matter to the test with a fun popcorn experiment, while another class dove into dissection. In Mrs. Degraaf’s room, students recently tested unknown compounds to determine if they were ionic or covalent. Great work, science scholars!
