Future food scientists in action! Today, Halverson 5th graders stepped into the lab to explore the physical properties of mixtures through hands-on science.
Students put their observation skills to the test. By making predictions, testing hypotheses, and recording their findings, our 5th graders proved that chemistry isn't just in textbooks; it's in everyday life!
We love seeing our students ask big questions and discover through active, hands-on learning. Great work, young scientists!

The event brought out support from around our community hosting an estimated 500 attendees. Donations from the DayBreaker Kiwanis, Renewal By Anderson, Cargill, Centos, along with books from a S.M.I.F. Grant enhanced this event making it possible for our community. Information from community resources were also available at the event. The Pony Rides from Horse'n Around out of Lyle, MN was a HUGE attraction as there was a constant line as children enjoyed free rides. It was great night hosted by our ECFE Team!
