Fifth Graders Put Life Science in Action
The 5th grade students finished Life Science with Mrs. Starman last week. The last two weeks of the quarter were spent demonstrating their understanding of the science standards. The students did this by creating a model that showed the flow of energy and the cycling of matter in a food chain. They worked hard and did a great job!
