Hazard Middle 5th Graders Teach Ms. JoAnn Hall’s 5th graders recently became the teachers to the 4th graders in the Energy Fair. Using the 4-H/N.E.E.D. ElectroWorks and Energy stations, each 5th grade team taught the energy concepts to the 4th graders in static electricity, chemical energy, electromagnetic energy, circuits, magnetism, mechanical energy, and kinetic energy. There were nearly 80 4th graders to rotate through the ten booths so the 5th graders had their work cut out for them, but

they did an awesome job of working with the others from Roy G. Eversole. You can tell from the pictures that both groups enjoyed themselves.
