We have begun our study of matter after an exciting journey through the periodic table.  To kick off our unit, we have started a wallwisher highlighting the changing states of ice.  Please feel free to add to our wall!  Over the next couple of weeks, I plan on adding some animations and digital posters highlighting what the kids have been doing.  So, stay tuned for more!
