🚀🫧Exploring Motion in First Grade! Our first graders in Mrs. Stayrook's class had a blast during their Motion Missions Stations Lab! They became little scientists, exploring how objects move by completing hands-on challenges. 🌟At each station, students experimented with different types of motion—blowing on pinwheels, rolling marbles, bouncing balls, and even making bubbles! They observed forces like pushes and pulls, recorded their results, and used critical thinking to understand how motion works. It was an exciting day of discovery, curiosity, and learning through play! Great job, first graders! #STEMlearning #HandsOnScience #FutureScientists

🚀⚖️ Physics in Action! ⚖️🚀 Mrs. Roberts' high school physics students turned into teachers for the morning, leading a fun and engaging lab on balanced and unbalanced forces for our first graders! 🌟 After hands-on activities exploring tension and force, the little learners put their new knowledge to the test in the ultimate showdown—Tug of War! 🏆💪 Despite the high schoolers' best efforts, the first graders in Mrs. Spring and Mrs. Yoder’s classes proved that an unbalanced force (and a whole lot of teamwork!) can lead to victory! 🎉🎈 Great job to all our future scientists and teachers! 🧪📚 #PhysicsFun #FutureScientists #TugOfWarChampions
