Kenneth Murphy Elementary School

The 5th graders were working on their science lab today! Students made observations of their worm! After a while students noticed their worm found a dark, wet spot under a damp paper towel. We learned that worms are not pests, but how helpful they are in adding nutrients to the soil. They are essential to many ecosystems! #KMDolphins #learnleadsucceedbpd3 #MakingWavesAtKM

Our 2nd graders had an absolute blast during performance task time this week. They completed ia mystery science activity.
