✨🔬 Science Fun in Mrs. Varner’s Class! 🔬✨ This week, our young scientists put the scientific method into action with the Dancing Raisins experiment! 🥤🍇 Students made predictions, observed carefully with their 5 senses, and collected data about what happened when raisins were placed in a fizzy liquid. They were amazed to see the raisins sink… and then dance their way back up to the top! 🎉 Our scientists are not only learning how to observe, record, and collect data, but also how to think like real researchers. Proud of all their hard work and curiosity! 🌟 #FutureScientists #ScientificMethod #LearningIsFun

👯‍♀️💚At Harlan Elementary, it is important to build a great school culture! Students in Miss Kat's class talked about being a good friend, how their class is a family, and what makes up bloom and wilt. They made friendship bracelets to end the lesson!
