Last week, our 6th graders became scientists for a day! 🔬

We welcomed educators from the Museum of Science and Industry, who led a hands-on lesson about microplastics in our water systems. Students tested samples from both tap water and Lake Michigan, learning firsthand what it takes to clean and filter our water. 💧

We’re looking forward to continuing our exploration this spring with a visit to the Blue Paradox exhibit at the museum! 🌊
