⛏️ 5th Grade Coal Mining Cookie Lab! 🍪
Ms. Warner and Mrs. Brittingham's 5th graders dove into a hands-on Nonrenewable Energy lab!

Students became "miners," carefully extracting "coal" (chocolate chips) from their cookies. It was a fun way to explore nonrenewable resources and how they get used up.

Great work, future scientists!
