Learning is in action at NEMS! 🔬✨
In Ms. Lynette Curtis’s 8th grade science classroom, students are exploring the properties of matter through a hands-on density lab. By measuring, calculating, and analyzing solutions, they’re building a deeper understanding of science through real-world investigation.
Science concepts come to life when students learn by doing! 🧪📊

Happy Groundhog Day! 🌤️🐾
Groundhog Day, celebrated on February 2nd, is a fun tradition where a groundhog emerges from his burrow to “predict” the weather.
🌞 If he sees his shadow → six more weeks of winter
🌷 If he doesn’t → an early spring is on the way
What do you think this year’s prediction will be? Are you team Winter or team Spring? ❄️🌼
