🧪 The Science Behind the Layers! What happens when you combine liquids that have different densities? Mrs. Stephanie Green Welborn’s 8th-grade scientists went beyond the textbook to find out!

During a hands-on investigation of density, students worked with liquids such as corn syrup, vegetable oil, vinegar, and isopropyl alcohol to explore how mass and volume influence the way substances behave.

Using density data, students made predictions about which liquids would sink, which would float, and how they might arrange themselves when combined. Then came the real investigation: carefully measuring, layering, observing, and comparing their results with their original predictions.

The challenge wasn't simply creating colorful layers. It was understanding why those layers formed, recognizing when results didn't match expectations, and using scientific evidence to explain what they observed.

Throughout the investigation, students practiced the work of scientists: asking questions, testing predictions, recording data, discussing findings, and thinking critically about the results.

In Mrs. Welborn’s classroom, science isn't just something students read about. It's something they investigate, question, and discover for themselves.

Our LCSS athletes showed great effort and sportsmanship at today’s Countywide Field Day. Several of our students earned ribbons but all of our students showed class, respect, and school pride. We are proud of each and every one of our students that competed. Thank you also to our family members and friends that came to cheer us on.

Growing Knowledge, Friendships, and Community at LCSS! Our K-3 Junior Master Gardeners enjoyed a beautiful fall Fun Friday filled with hands-on learning, teamwork, and plenty of smiles!

Students began by exploring the fascinating world of plants, discovering how roots, stems, leaves, and flowers each play an important role in helping plants grow and survive. They learned how sunlight, water, air, and nutrients work together to support plant life before taking their learning beyond the classroom and into our school garden.

With guidance from our wonderful Lawrence County Alabama Master Gardeners volunteers, students put their knowledge into action through fall planting, garden cleanup, and caring for our growing spaces. Along the way, they observed seasonal changes, considered what plants need to thrive, and discovered how even the smallest helping hands can make a difference in the environment around them.

The day also brought opportunities to create beautiful fall bouquets, enjoy a little picnic, and spend time together at McKelvey Park. There was plenty of laughter, and even a few teachers spotted playing alongside their students. Experiences like these bring classroom learning to life while building friendships, encouraging curiosity, and strengthening the connections between our school and the community we call home.

A heartfelt thank-you to our Lawrence County Alabama Master Gardeners Susan Steele, Judy Ramos, and Donna Shanklin for continuing to share their knowledge, time, and love of gardening with our students. At LCSS, we're planting more than seeds. We're growing curious minds, caring hearts, and a love for learning that reaches far beyond the classroom.

P.S. Even our desk geese got in on Fun Friday fun!

Be Extraordinary. Be Exceptional. Be You.
