Using the starburst technique with Mrs. Thurman, students are learning correct hand positioning while balancing starbursts on their hands making it engaging, hands-on, and effective!
🧪🔬 Science in Action!
Mrs. Bryant’s and Mrs. Scoggins’s classes completed an exciting hands-on lab today by mixing citric acid, baking soda, and water to observe temperature changes during a chemical reaction. Students investigated whether the reaction was endothermic or exothermic, carefully measuring, observing, and recording their results. This lab gave students the opportunity to practice real scientific skills—asking questions, collecting data, and drawing conclusions—just like true scientists! 👩🔬👨🔬📊

🎨📱 Mural Tech in Action!
Students working on the EAST Project Mural Tech partnered with Explore Harrison’s Matt Bell for a productive day in Downtown Harrison. During a guided walking tour of the city’s murals, students collaborated with Mr. Bell to plan Phase 1 of the project—adding plaques with QR codes and informative details to each mural.
It was a beautiful day to learn, collaborate, and connect art with technology! A big thank-you to Matt Bell for sharing his time and expertise, and to Boba Joe’s for the treats that made the day even sweeter.

🧪 Science in Action!
Mrs. Bryant’s students combined calcium chloride and water to determine whether the reaction was endothermic or exothermic. By observing the temperature change, students discovered that the reaction was exothermic—releasing heat! Hands-on learning makes science come alive! 🔥👩🔬👨🔬

🔥⚡ Science in action in Mrs. Bryant’s and Mrs. Scoggin’s classes! Students used steel wool and a 9-volt battery to explore physical and chemical changes. When the steel wool heated up and glowed, they observed a true chemical reaction as iron oxide formed. Hands-on learning never looked so bright! 🧪✨

🌲👏 EAST Student Spotlight!
EAST student Boone Mays recently presented his team’s project idea to the Buffalo River Partners. Their project, Trailblazer’s Guide, is designed to improve hiker safety by installing a temperature-display sign at a Buffalo River trailhead—helping alert hikers to the dangers of extreme heat. ☀️🥾
We’re excited to share that Boone’s team received $3,000 in funding from the Buffalo River Partners to help bring this project to life!
Team members include Bronson Vansandt, Freddie Peoples, and Cole Wray. Great work turning innovation into real-world impact!

🔬✨ Science That Glows! ✨🔬
Mrs. Bryant’s class explored the Law of Conservation of Mass using glow sticks! When activated, a chemical reaction produced light—but the mass stayed the same before and after. 💡
Even though energy was released, no matter was created or destroyed—just rearranged! Science is truly glowing bright in this classroom! 💙💛
