🧪💧 Hands-On Learning in Chemistry! 💧🧪

Mrs. Anna Perkins’s Chemistry students put science into action with a hands-on laboratory experiment exploring water filtration using different sizes of rock! Throughout the lab, students learned how to develop a hypothesis and put it to the test, accurately measure water using a graduated cylinder, and use applied math to analyze their results. Experiences like these allow our Tigers to see how science, math, and real-world problem-solving work together! 🐯🔬📚
