Science

We are finishing up our last project in science. This is our last unit. We will be doing experiments when done with the project. Examples of experiments growing crystals, making glow in the dark bouncing balls, making oobleck. I would like to do a solar experiment that we could not do in January because of the cold weather. I promised the kids we would do it when it gets warm. This involves cooking hot dogs in pringle cans that the classes have collected.

Science Need Large Pringle Cans (or similar chip containers). Thank you
