Science Magic for our last day of classes!! We used red cabbage juice to find the pH of lemon juice, orange juice, apple juice, bleach, baking soda, and drain cleaner. #teachmorris
“This is pretty cool dude, I can’t lie.” Today we explored the characteristics of 3 different strengths of electromagnets, and were able to turn their magnetic fields on and off! #teachmorris

We were on a real *roll* today, exploring Newton’s Laws by measuring the effect when balls of different masses and different heights transfer their energy to the car. #teachmorris #handsonscience
