⚡️ Science in action! ⚡️ Our 4th graders built simple electrical systems using a fan, motor, and solar panel! They worked together to figure out how to make their systems work, experimented with making the fan go faster or slower, and finished by creating labeled diagrams of their designs. 🔋☀️💨 So much teamwork, problem-solving, and hands-on learning happening in science! 🧪✨ #MuirMoments #handsonscience #fourthgrade
