Students learned about the chemical and physical changes that happen when making a s’more—
🧩 breaking graham crackers
🍫 melting chocolate
🔥 marshmallow browning and caramelization
Science has never tasted so good! 😄🧪

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! 💙💛

Mrs. Bryant’s class explored chemical and physical properties and changes with a fun s’mores lab! Students learned how everyday activities, such as cooking, involve both physical and chemical changes—proving that science can be both educational and delicious! 😄👩🔬👨🔬

























Students from the Lions team shared a powerful message about how we all go through different seasons in life—much like the seasons of the year. No matter what season we may be facing, they reminded us that God is always with us.
They also handed out bracelets with Bible verses as a reminder of God’s constant presence and love. Thank you for sharing such an encouraging message!







Through these activities, students learn to cooperate, communicate, problem-solve, compete with sportsmanship, lead, create, and more.
Here are a few photos from several teambuilders we’ve done in EAST this year!

Our students explored what happens when popcorn pops! When heated, the water inside the kernel turns to steam, builds pressure, and POW!—the kernel bursts open. Even though the popcorn changes shape and size, no new substance is formed, making it a physical change.
Learning science through hands-on labs is always a poppin’ good time!









When we light the tea bag, it rises into the air because of convection currents. The heat warms the air, making it less dense so it rises, while cooler air moves in to take its place. This movement of air creates enough lift to send the tea bag flying!
Science in action—and the students loved it! 🧪✨
