Our 8th-grade scientists are diving into hands-on learning as they investigate endothermic and exothermic reactions. Wearing safety goggles and working collaboratively, students carefully combine different powders with water in Erlenmeyer flasks while measuring temperature changes with thermometers. Through observation, discussion, and note-taking, they are analyzing how energy is absorbed or released during chemical reactions. The lab brings science to life, encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and teamwork.
