To prepare for today's Science STAAR Test by reviewing vocabulary, Shive fifth graders took part in a fun outdoor science lab Monday afternoon. The PTO helped the students explore the states of matter and how they change with Coke Floats. After enjoying Coke Floats, students rotated to the Science lab stations, which included: an explosive investigation; tug of war; bowling; prey vs. predator; alien scavenger hunt; and flying paper airplanes.
