Today students participated in their first chemistry lab. They learned about particle theory and then tested the dissolving speed of salt in different temperature waters. After, they made connections between particle theory and the results. Students also had a very important lesson on cyber bullying which focussed on empathy by taking on the perspective of other people. It is very important that students continue to learn about safe and kind online behaviour as they move into high school and adulthood.
