💡 Hands-On Science at East Side Elementary!
Students in Mrs. Monroe’s class at #EastSideElementarySchool recently explored the exciting world of chemistry by observing the reaction between baking soda and vinegar. They carefully recorded new matter created during the chemical change and weighed substances before and after to see the conservation of matter in action. 🔬⚖️
We’re proud to see our #students learning through hands-on experiments that make science both fun and meaningful! With curiosity and teamwork leading the way, these students are making amazing discoveries!
