Our students have been hard at work with their Science Lessons. This class learned about rain, fog, and snow, as weather conditions. After answering comprehension questions, the students participated in a hands-on experiment where they made a "Snowstorm in a Jar," using oil, water, paint, food coloring, and alka seltzer tablets. Students worked on following directions to mix, pour, and measure items to complete this experiment. Well done, all!
