On Monday, 3rd through 5th grade students were immersed in science during Bell Elementary's annual Science Day! Identifying different rocks based on physical appearances, changing the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas), and learning about adaptive characteristics of different species were just a few things that filled the day!
