🎈🔬 Air Has Mass? Our 6th-Grade Scientists Put It to the Test! 🧪🐯

Our 6th-grade Tigers were busy thinking like scientists as they investigated a big question: Does air really have mass? 🤔

Using balances and balloons, our scholars compared the mass of a deflated balloon to the same balloon filled with air. 🎈⚖️ Through this hands-on experiment, they discovered that even though we can't see air, it is still matter, takes up space, and has mass!

Who knew a simple balloon could teach us so much about science? 💡👏

Curious Minds. Big Discoveries. Every Moment Matters! 🐯💙
