Science 

We are on our second week for the Matter Unit. This week, students will learn about what physical changes are, what chemical reactions, and the difference between physical changes and chemical reactions. Donations are graciously accepted for our science experiments. If interested in donating supplies, we need the following items for our Science experiment: 

• 24 - 1-liter water/soda bottle (clear bottle is preferable, so students can observe easier.) 

• 120 - Clear plastic cups  (9 oz) 

• Students are encouraged to bring in their own pattern of silicone mold for physical changes experiment. After experiment, they will take the mold home.
