Students in Miss Gore's class at Shaw have been learning what it means to be a scientist and each step of the scientific method. This past week, they experimented to answer the question: "What will happen to a gummy bear placed in different liquids?"
Our scientists hypothesized, observed, and recorded their findings—and were amazed to discover that the gummy bears expanded rather than dissolved! Then, they explored the science behind it, discussing how the gelatin in the gummy bears caused osmosis. They had so much fun experimenting and learning! 🍬🔍

Kicking Off Science with Fun and Curiosity in Mr. Shaw's Class! 🔬🌈
Mr. Shaw's class at Shaw Elementary started their science lessons this year by learning how scientists ask questions and make observations. To practice, they did a fun "Skittles Lab" to answer the question, "What happens when you pour water over Skittles?"
Each student arranged Skittles in a bowl, made careful observations, and recorded what they saw on their lab sheet. When the water was poured, the students were amazed as the colors ran off the candy and formed beautiful patterns in the water! 🎨#AtShawWithShaw

The students explored how termites respond to different shapes, colors, and materials virtually—what a fun way to dive into science! 🐜🔍

Mrs. Hemmerich’s third graders at Shaw Elementary have been working hard practicing their reading stamina. 📚
It only took them four days to reach their goal of reading independently for 30 minutes! To celebrate their achievement, they threw a reading party! 🎉
Students brought blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals to get cozy while they read books, listened to stories, or shared a book with a friend.
Great job, third graders! #ReadingRocks #ShawElementary #BcreekSchools
