Third Grade News

The 3rd graders have started a unit on water in science. They are learning about the properties of water and how it reacts on different surfaces, surface tension and how slopes affect water. We will be taking a field trip on October 9 to Des Moines Water Works where we'll learn where the water comes from and the process it goes through so that we can use and drink it. Then we'll head to Saylorville Lake where we'll learn why the lake was made and how the dam works. Students are enjoying the various hands-on experiments with water!
