Science Success!

 Hi WLA Staff!

I have taught a couple of really fun science experiments that the kids loved!  Today we modeled rock abrasion in fast moving water by vigorously shaking rock chips in water bottles with a small amount of water.  The students learned about how sediment comes from the bits and pieces of rock that is broken off and carried away by the water.  Check out some of our budding young scientists below!

Ziraily is an abrasion causing machine as she shakes the bottle of water and rock chips.
6th grade science in action!  Doesn't Luis look chill?

The ultimate scientist.
