Our 4th graders put science into action this week! 🧪🌎
As part of 4th grades unit on renewable and nonrenewable resources, students conducted a hands-on experiment to test the most effective ways to clean up an oil spill. They explored how human activity impacts the environment and discovered just how challenging protecting our natural resources can be.
Through teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving, our students are learning not only the science behind environmental impact—but also the responsibility we share in caring for our planet. 💧🌱
