You should hear the scientific conversations these kids are having as they construct and interpret models of atoms using a PhET simulation. They may be 5th graders but they sound like high schoolers! #ashlandsoar

Class scavenger hunt on Zoom today: ✅ a vertebrate, ✅ a vascular plant, ✅ a solution, ✅ something to represent negative human impact on earth, ✅ 2 items to demonstrate plate boundaries, ✅ toilet paper. 😂 #ToiletPaperApocalypse #ashlandsoar
