A huge thank you to Mr. Dunn, a doctoral student from the University of Arkansas Biological Sciences Department, for bringing science to life for our 4th grade students! He gave an engaging lesson on the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, and central nervous systems, even bringing real specimens—a brain and bones—for students to observe. Students also became scientists, collecting data on response time during an experiment, reinforcing key learning standards: 🔬 4-LS1-1: Understanding how internal and external structures help plants and animals survive, grow, and reproduce. 🧠 4-LS1-2: Exploring how animals process information through their senses and respond in different ways. Hands-on learning at its best! Thank you, Mr. Dunn, for inspiring our students! 👏🔍 #STEMinAction #FutureScientists #HandsOnLearning #SpringdaleFamily
