In Dr. Allendoerfer’s Honors Biology class, students got hands-on with H₂O! They built their own water molecules and used magnets to model how they behave in solid, liquid, and gas phases. To level it up, they sketched in hydrogen bonds and demonstrated how water molecules team up to surround ions and dissolve salts. The coolest part?
