Science is sweet in 6th grade! 🔬🍬

Our 6th graders have been diving into the world of atoms, molecules, and density. To see chemistry in action, students got hands-on and built their very own molecular models of the different gases found in our air—using marshmallows and toothpicks!
Who knew science could be this fun (and tasty)?
Check out our future scientists at work! 👇✨
