My Project

It has been an amazing year in 4th grade science, and I want to expand the scientific knowledge of my students even further! As part of end the year reward celebration, my students will be creating a light maze, estimating how many rubber bands it will take to explode a watermelon to reference force and motion. And. of course, nothing is more fun for students than dropping a Mentos in Diet Coke and seeing the chemical reaction come to life! Students will also be creating their own bouncy balls, changing the colors of flowers, and making our own sun catchers!

My students are beyond amazing, because this year they have each truly found a love and excitement for science, through hard work and hands on learning experiences.

My students have learned so much and worked so hard. I know they are excited to take all of their knowledge and see what they can create!
