SHORTHORN SCIENTISTS AT WORK! 🧪🔬 Our Marfa 5th graders are putting science into action! Students explored the physical properties of matter, including mass, magnetism, solubility, and relative density through hands-on investigation. From testing hypotheses to making observations, our young scientists are discovering how science works in the real world! 🧲⚖️🧪 Keep exploring, Shorthorns! 💜🤘 #MarfaShorthorns #ShorthornScientists #HandsOnLearning #ElevateExcellence #RideForTheBrand

📚 Our 2nd grade Shorthorns are hard at work learning how to find text evidence to support their answers! They are building strong reading skills by learning to go back into the text, find the evidence, and explain their thinking.

Way to work hard, 2nd grade! Keep it up, Shorthorns! 💜🤘

🧪🥨 MIXING IT UP WITH THE SHORTHORNS! 🔬💜 Mrs. Loya’s science students put their lesson on mixtures into action—with a tasty twist! Students created their own heterogeneous mixtures by making trail mix, seeing firsthand how different ingredients can be combined while still keeping their individual properties. 🥨 Mix it. 🔬 Observe it. 🧠 Learn it. And maybe snack on it, too! 😋 Hands-on science makes learning stick! #MarfaISD #ElevateExcellence #RideForTheBrand #ScienceInAction #ShorthornLearning

🎨🖌️ THE ART OF THE BRAND! Ms. Powers’ Art students are bringing still life to life!
