Spring is just around the corner! We have been so busy in science this year. The 8th graders have been exploring force, motion, and energy. The 6th graders have been busy learning about God's wonderful creation - the Earth!
Here are a few photos of the students putting their new knowledge to work.


8th grade exploring friction and its effect on force.
