It’s a great day to conduct science experiments in Tate County!
This week, students in Mrs. Joe’s 4th grade science class put their curiosity to work by conducting electricity experiments! 💡 From exploring how circuits work to seeing electricity in action, these hands-on activities spark both learning and excitement in the classroom. #TogetherAchievingTeamExcellence
