Mrs. Barnett’s first grade students had a blast during their lemon volcano experiment! 🍋🌋 Students participated in a mini chemistry lesson where they learned about chemical reactions between acids and bases. They observed a fizzing, bubbling gas reaction and explored science through hands-on learning and discovery. Great job, first graders!
