6th Grade Science Field Trip Fun! Our 6th graders had a great time visiting Fantastic Caverns with Mr. Martin and Miss Chloe! They learned how caves are formed, how stalagmites continue to grow, explored cave animals, and discovered how pollution can affect cave ecosystems. One of the coolest parts was learning how warm air causes ice formations to grow upside down from the ground up! A fantastic day of hands-on science learning! #6thGradeScience #FantasticCaverns #FieldTripFun #LearningInAction #WGHS
