Melting Matter! With two trials, Mrs. Teitelbaum's fifth grade class was able to get the crayons to melt; changing the solids into a liquid! They changed two variables: location of crayons and a "greenhouse" container. ☀️

This morning when students arrived at school, they were greeted by a teacher dinosaur! Our second grade classes went to on a field trip to Luck Stone rock quarry to see dinosaur tracks! 🦖

To show understanding of the scientific method, our 5th graders were active participants in the Liquid plus Mentos lab. Students proved their hypothesis true- If Mentos is added to cola, then it will cause an eruption!

🏫Farmington had a great first day of school!✏️ We are so glad to see all these smiling faces back in our classrooms and hallways. These FOXES are ready to UNLEASH THEIR POTENTIAL!
