Elsie Rogers 4th Graders Team Up with Grissom 6th Graders for Hands-On Science Day

Elsie Rogers Elementary 4th graders recently teamed up with Grissom Middle School 6th graders for a day of hands-on science learning.

Grissom students set up a series of science booths featuring different experiments and concepts at the middle school. The 4th graders came to Grissom on a visit and rotated through each station, learning about the topics while getting to participate in the activities.

Each group of 4th graders was guided by 6th grade tour guides, who helped explain the experiments and kept the rotations moving. The setup gave younger students a chance to explore science in an interactive way, while also allowing Grissom students to take on a leadership role. The event also gave students an opportunity to connect across grade levels, helping make the transition to middle school feel a little more familiar for the 4th graders.

To wrap up the day, students enjoyed a pizza party. A special thank you goes to Rossini’s Pizza for donating the pizza. The restaurant’s manager, a Grissom alum, helped make the day even more memorable for students.
