Today, 5th graders developed the idea that chemical reactions create new materials that have useful and interesting properties. We learned that fireworks, rubber, and Silly Putty were all results of chemical reactions, some by accident! We experimented by combining different substances and watched for chemical reactions that created goo. Each student then created their own batch of green goo to take home!

Hay Springs Public Schools is no longer mandating the wearing of masks. We are encouraging students and staff members to wear masks if they are unable to socially distance. If teachers request students wear masks in their classrooms, students will be expected to honor that request. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the administration. Thank you in advance for your support.
