Camp Leopold delivered an awesome lesson on pH balance! Students tested the pH of everyday items and discovered which liquids are acids, bases, or neutral. Learning science through real-life experiments makes it even more exciting! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

Student Scientists in Mrs. Bowles’ class reflected on what we have learned this semester by using Adobe’s generative AI to create ugly sweaters.
