Mr. Halford had his 5th and 6th graders make Elephant's toothpaste in science. The toothpaste is a foamy substance that is created when you combine water, hydrogen peroxide, yeast and dish soap. It's commonly used in classrooms to demonstrate an exothermic reaction. Looks like they had fun!
Mrs. Moreno had her students practice multiples using sidewalk chalk!
