8th grade Physical Science students are learning about Position and Motion. Today's lab was about "How can motion change?" Students were given 5 plastic tubes, one marble, a plastic bowl, and masking tape. The task was to create a tube slide that would allow you to observe how the motion of a marble changes as it rolls down the slide. All of the groups were able to successfully complete the task.
Freedom House came to our junior high today to talk about Erin's Law and relationships.
