Clarkston Elementary School - One team, one goal; ensuring success for all.

🌟🔬 4th Grade Scientists at Work! 🔬🌟 Our 4th graders had a blast today diving into Science Matter Labs as they explored physical properties of matter. Students rotated through hands-on stations where they: ✨ Tested density to see if objects sink or float ✨ Measured volume using a graduated cylinder ✨ Observed and sorted solids, liquids, and gases ✨ Recorded data like true scientists in their science journals It was amazing to watch their curiosity and teamwork shine as they discovered how different materials can be described, compared, and measured. 🌡️📏⚖️ Way to go, 4th grade! You are truly growing into thoughtful, creative scientists! 🧪💡 #ScienceInAction #FutureScientists #HandsOnLearning #TEK46A

Ms. Browning’s 4th graders kicked off the year with a fun “Think Like a Historian” activity! 🕵️‍♂️📚 Students worked in teams to use clues and their historian skills to uncover the 9 social studies units they’ll be exploring this year. What a great way to start the journey through history!
