🎄🔬 Exciting news from Mr. Smith’s 8th graders! This holiday season, they created their very own blizzard in a jar! ❄️✨ The students combined water, a dash of white paint, mineral oil, glitter, and effervescent tablets to simulate a winter wonderland. The mesmerizing swirl of colors and bubbles brought the magic of a snowy day right into the classroom! What a fantastic way to blend science and holiday cheer! 🎉🧪 #BlizzardInAJar #STEMFun #HolidayMagic
