 Thank you to Mr. Jayne and Mr. Showalter for coming in to do a Science is Fun demonstration as representatives from Nalco! They delivered a wonderful message about the importance of perseverance! The students enjoyed all of the experiments and learned about the scientific method! In the picture below, Mr. Jayne used sand to filter dirty water.
