🔥 Our 6th Grade Accelerated Science students put heat to the test in today’s lab! They explored how different materials affect heat transfer through hands-on experiments and critical thinking. 🔥
🔬 Our 7th grade Accelerated Science students took on the challenge of building the strongest electromagnets! 💡 Using batteries, copper wire, and iron nails, they explored the power of electricity and magnetism through hands-on experimentation.⚡🧲
We are beyond proud of our own GMMS 7th grade teacher Mrs. Vandrovec, who has achieved an incredible milestone by becoming a published author! She wrote the book, Held, out of a personal life experience and it has officially been published!
Just as we encourage our students to dream big and work hard toward their goals, it’s inspiring to see our teachers modeling that same dedication in their own lives.
Congratulations, Mrs. Vandrovec! Your story reminds us all that learning, creating, and achieving never stop!
