Shadow Ridge School

🦕 Today our 3rd–5th graders studied different fossil types and completed a hands-on lab where they studied and even made their own fossils. This mix of inquiry-based learning builds scientific vocabulary, and sparks deeper interest in paleontology. What fossil fact would you share with a curious learner? 🦈

This week our high school Chemistry students participated in a pH lab. They used a natural pH indicator to discover the pH of various chemicals. Go Sharks!
