HOMECOMING 2018
SPOTLIGHT ON INSTRUCTION
Mrs. Smith’s Physical Science classes recently conducted a hands-on experiment in order to better understand speed. While outdoors on the track, the classes attempted to find out which student is the fastest runner by using a variety of different measuring metrics. Mrs. Smith hopes that experiments like these will help develop problem solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills. For the past three years, students have made changes in order to find new ways to run the experiment, all while Mrs. Smith tries to make sure the students have fun in learning about science while understanding more about the real world.
