Third graders investigate and observe the properties of water. They compare how water drops interact with different surfaces.

Third graders develop an understanding of density by comparing the floating and sinking behavior of materials in water.

The red dye floats to the top because it is less dense. Wow! These are big concepts to learn.

This is Sean Macarthur, our district's maintenance supervisor. In his spare time, he raises funds for charitable organizations by participating in Polar Bear plunges and supporting local groups such as the Historical Society at their Applefest celebration. Sean makes a mean hamburger. He also lives around the block from Washington School.

Fifth graders are reading to second graders.
