Our middle school students took learning beyond the classroom with a trip to the Air Zoo Aerospace & Science Center! ✈️🌬️ Students explored the science behind energy production, learned about wind energy, and discovered how science and technology work together to power our world. A great day of hands-on learning and exploration!
