🌪️ **SCIENCE IN ACTION IN MRS. MERCADO’S CLASSROOM!** 🌪️
Last week, our 5th graders had the opportunity to create their very own **tornado in a bottle!** 🌀
After a quick demonstration from Mrs. Mercado, students got to try it themselves and see if they could create their own swirling vortex. They were having so much fun experimenting, trying again, and figuring out what made their “tornado” form!
This was a quick and playful way to explore **vortex motion and kinetic energy** while giving students the chance to learn through hands-on experimentation. 🔬💨
The best part? Watching the excitement on their faces when they finally got their tornado spinning! 🌪️😍
Who says science can't be a little messy, playful, and FUN?! 💚

📢APS Drop-Off/Pick-Up Lane Reminder!
To help keep traffic moving, we ask that parents/guardians using the drop-off/pick-up lane remain in their vehicles. If you need to get out of your car to assist your student, please park in a designated parking spot rather than stopping in the drop-off/pick-up lane. For the safety of all students, please ensure your student always exits/enters the vehicle on the sidewalk side. This is essential to prevent students from stepping into traffic or active driving lanes. 🚗🚘
Thank you for helping us keep our drop-off/pick-up routine safe and efficient!💛🥰
