Birdwell Dual Language Immersion School - Orgullosamente Bilingüe

Congratulations to Tania Maldonado, Mauro Ortega, and Maite Betancourt of Birdwell Dual Language Immersion School for being honored at the School Board Meeting for their outstanding achievement in the Regional District-Level Spanish Spelling Bee! 🐝📚

Our young scientists created their very own mini lava lamps while exploring the fascinating concept of relative density. Through this fun, hands-on experiment, students observed how different liquids behave based on their density—and they had a bubbling good time learning along the way! 🌋🔬 Learning is even more exciting when you can see science in action!
