As part of their weather unit, 5th grade students explored how molecules behave through hands-on experiments with liquid nitrogen, including shrinking balloons, creating clouds, and even making ice cream! Seeing concepts like air pressure, condensation, and rapid phase changes happen instantly helped them connect classroom learning to real-world science. Learning like this strengthens understanding, builds memorable connections to content, and inspires long-term enthusiasm for science.
