🌍🔦 5th Grade Science Fun! 🔦🌍
5th graders conducted an experiment to investigate the question: What separates Earth from space? Using cups of water, milk, and a flashlight, students explored how Earth’s atmosphere is made of gas particles that scatter sunlight—making the sky appear blue—while outer space is a vacuum that appears black. Students connected this experiment to prior learning and wondered why gas particles don’t spread into space—leading to great discussions about gravity and Earth’s atmosphere! 🧪✨
