🔥 Miss Puhr’s 8th Graders Took Marshmallow Science to the Next Level! 🔥
Which is the GOAT way to cook a marshmallow? 👀 Our class put radiation, conduction, and convection to the test, and the results were 🔥 (literally). Spoiler alert: one method had us all saying, “chef’s kiss!” 👩🍳
🍢 Conduction = Direct contact, crispy perfection, but is it worth the sticky cleanup?
🌬️ Convection = Air on the move, golden vibes, but patience is a virtue.
☀️ Radiation = Straight fire, fast results, but watch out—it’s giving charcoal real quick.
We debated the efficiency, taste, and vibes. What’s your marshmallow MVP? Drop your fave method below ⬇️ or hit us with your marshmallow hacks! #ScienceSzn #MarshmallowWars #EdibleExperiments👩🔬✨

Our sixth graders in Mrs. Gomez’ class had a blast modeling the rock cycle with candy! 🍬 They learned all about the processes involved in the formation and classification of rocks, and had so much fun in the process. #HandsOnLearning #FunInScience

🎉💡 When Science Hits Different! 💡🎉
Ms. Puhr's 8th grade students didn’t just study forces and energy—they worked it to the max! 🌬️⚡ After tons of trial and error (and some serious brainstorming 🧠), they designed a wind turbine that actually generates electricity. 💨🔋
From broken blades to epic breakthroughs, they learned that real science = making mistakes, asking big questions, and going for it again and again. 🔁💥
Big shoutout to these future innovators—you’re out here building the future, one gust of wind at a time. 🌎✨
