Testing may be over and the end of school may be near, but BMS students are still learning! Students in Mr. Perry's ELT and Science classes had a blast demonstrating all the incredible skills they've developed this year! From concept to creation, these talented learners:
✅ Planned their projects
✅ Designed and built
✅ Tested and refined
Check out what they created: 🎢 Roller coasters 🏃 Marble runs 🎡 Ferris wheels 💨 Wind-powered cars
Their work doesn't just showcase engineering—it influences curiosity, ignites innovation, and inspires us all. This is what hands-on learning looks like! We are so proud of the creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork on display!

Our 8th grade scientist from Ms. Rambo's homeroom had a sweet time investigating the science behind candy apples with Mrs. Jacobs of CJ's Sweetique!
Students explored how sucrose (table sugar) changes when heat is applied, observing its transformation through several fascinating stages from dissolving in water, to creating supersaturated solution, reaching the hard crack stage, and finally cooling into that shiny, glass-like candy coating we all know and love.
