The best news arrived yesterday... my It is Rocket Science! donorschoose project was fully funded. Now, after our Science Fair in February, the middle school students will be creating and launching rockets!
In our last science class of 2015, the students designed and executed an experiment using peppermints. The experiment was three fold:
1. Designing an experiment using the scientific method prepares them for their science fair project when we return.
2. The sugar melts away, which connects to our current unit on weathering and erosion.
3. Its the last science class before winter break, so peppermints are wintery and fun!
Here are some photos from the experiments:
