The 8th grade science has been experimenting different chemical reactions. They combined different liquids and solids to see how the chemical reactions affected temperature. After discussing how cold packs help with injuries and are done through a chemical reaction, they then used this information to create their own cold packs.
The sixth grade science students have been learning about ecosystems as well as how energy and matter flow throughout food webs and food chains. They researched a specific ecosystem and gave a presentation about their findings, including highlighting a specific food chain.

Awesome Summer Opportunities are available for students interested in the Military. I am sharing them here rather than directly with students as they require travel and expense, but need-based scholarships are available.
Opportunity 1: Summer Leader Experience (SLE) View Flyer
This one-week program is designed for current high school juniors, offering them a unique opportunity to experience life as a Cadet at West Point. The action-packed week will be challenging and rewarding, with participants participating in hands-on academic workshops, physical and mental challenges, intramurals, and the Candidate Fitness Assessment.
Applications for SLE open on February 15, and selections will be made on a rolling basis starting March 15. Completing this application also fulfills the first portion of the application to West Point.
West Point provides scholarships to cover the costs of SLE fees and travel expenses for students who have proven financial need.
Learn more here: https://www.westpoint.edu/admissions/summer-program
Opportunity 2: Summer STEM Workshops
For 6th through 9th grade students, West Point will host its annual Summer STEM Workshops. During these workshops, students will explore the Academy grounds, experience cadet life, and participate in a variety of hands-on STEM activities. Workshop topics include human physiology, fuel cell cars, propellants, robotics, cantilevers, soldering circuits, fish biodiversity, water chemistry, meteorology, egg drop engineering, data analytics, and more.
