Science
We finished studying the properties of rocks. This week we looked at small particles of
the “rocks” made in class a couple weeks ago. We had poured a mixture of rock particles and water in a petri dish. After the water evaporated, we used a magnifying glass to view the particles, draw and describe what we saw. Today, we explored with flashlights, prisms, mirrors & colored transparencies.

Box Tops for Education
You can help support Gateway Elementary by turning your groceries into
easy cash for the school. Look for the Box Tops logo
