Our 6th graders had an amazing day at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago! They visited the Blue Paradox exhibit to learn about microplastics and how they impact our waterways, then explored the rest of the museum. It was a fun, hands-on learning experience all around. Thanks to #SCJcares for making this experience possible!
