In our pursuit to make a salad dressing that stays mixed together, we tested different ingredients to see if they would create sediment in water or if they would dissolve.

Ice Vs. Salt Lab

This week we learned about how the molecules in NaCl and H2O interact with each other in order to cause ice to melt. We conducted 2 different experiments to see how Salt and Ice interact and then discussed what happens on a molecular level building on our understanding of molecules attracting to one another.

Southwest State project

Students researched information about the state of their choice from the Southwest Region and created some great presentations. Check out the video above to see some highlights!
