Third graders enjoyed a visit from Professor Q of the High Tech, High Touch science team, an organization that brings science to life through hands-on experimentation in the classroom. The topic of the morning was Newton in a Nutshell and all the experiments conducted taught about one of Newton's laws of motion.
"He taught us about gravity and the three laws of motion, and explored concepts such as inertia, force, mass, and acceleration," said Vicki Simms, third-grade teacher. "By shooting off water bottle rockets and interacting with tornado tubes, marbles, gyroscopes, and nerf guns, we also learned that 'for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.'"
