🖍️ Science in Action! 🌞
Ms. Nester's class at Grace Skilled Living and Therapy Center recently conducted a colorful science experiment using crayons and sunlight. The students placed crayons on a display and recorded the times and temperatures throughout the day to see how the sun’s heat would affect them.
Their observations? The darker crayons melted quicker than the lighter ones! 🌡️ This experiment was a fantastic hands-on learning experience, showing how different colors absorb heat at different rates.
Way to go, young scientists! 🧪🔍
