Mrs. Manley’s sixth-grade students have been learning about the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, including what causes the phenomenon and how it produces its colors and patterns. They applied the lessons by creating Aurora Borealis artwork with watercolors and oil pastels, combining their science studies with art.
