Fourth Grade Science Experiment: Erosion and Deposition

Our fourth graders recently took on an exciting science project! All the classes worked together to build models showing how erosion and deposition happen. Through this hands-on experiment, students practiced their scientific skills by making predictions, following the steps of the experiment, and carefully observing what happened.

In addition to their scientific exploration, students practiced valuable teamwork skills. They worked together in groups, taking turns and helping each other throughout the project. It was a fantastic opportunity for our young scientists to learn and grow together, and we are proud of their hard work and excitement. Thanks to Mrs. Jackson for stepping in to help distribute supplies and take pictures!

Check out some photos of their amazing models and the fun they had during the experiment! 📸
