Students in our K-3 Science classes have been wondering lately! This creative bulletin board allows students to put up a "bubble" with something they're wondering about. When their question is answered the bubble gets "popped" with a push pin. What a great way to teach young scientists to be inquisitive! #science #STREAM #wonder đŹđŠâđŹ
