Before the Holiday Break, all 7th grade students participated in a Science lab. These pictures show students identifying reactants and products of an Acid-Base Neutralization Reaction. They wrote down their observations and compared those to their hypotheses. They used the same reaction to create a rocket engine the following day and launched it! It's fun to see all 3 teams sharing and learning together!
