đ Science starts with curiosity!
Ask your child a âWhat if?â or âHow does that work?â question and let them investigate. Science isnât just in the lab â itâs in the kitchen, the backyard, and even the clouds in the sky. âïž

Today, our 5th graders rolled up their sleeves and dissected owl pellets! This exciting lab helped reinforce the Conservation of Matter â the idea that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Students were able to see firsthand that any material an owl doesnât use for energy is transformed into something else.
As they uncovered bones and fur, students also began exploring new science concepts like consumers, predators, and carnivores.
Science is always more memorable when you can dig right into it! đ§€âš #WeAreBenton
Last week, our 6th grade students explored how temperature affects particle movement. We learned that the hotter something is, the more energy its particles have â and they proved it with a hands-on experiment!
Students added dye to both hot and cold water and observed how quickly it spread in each. The results were clear â particles in hot water move much faster!
It was an exciting way for them to see science happen right before their eyes! đ§Șđ

đ This week our students dove into the U.S. Constitution, with a special focus on the Bill of Rights!
âš Highlights from the week:
â A virtual tour of Crystal Bridgesâ We the People exhibit
â Hands-on discussions of real-life scenarios where rights were protected or challenged
â Students even put on their âfounder hatsâ and created their own constitutional amendments!
Weâre so proud of their curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity while exploring the foundation of our democracy. đĄđ
