6th graders explored the densities of water and cooking oil.
They measured predetermined volumes of each liquid, poured them into jars, made observations, shook them for two minutes and then let them settle for ten minutes to see if the liquids would separate back into two layers.

The 6th graders did an amazing job with their Night of the Notables presentations!
6th graders researched a famous person from the past and presented the information to those that attended the Night of the Notables. People could stop by a notable person, played by the 6th grader, where they would then share information about their life.
Thanks to the 6th graders and teachers for putting on such a great event.
