Physics incorporated a little friendly competition into their graphing and extrapolating lab this week!
Testing 1-6 rubber band bungees, students plotted their data in Excel and then extrapolated as to how many rubber bands would be needed to have a safe, yet thrilling, "bungee" jump for their egg off of the top of the bleachers.
All eggs survived testing, and the team of Jackson, Dylan and Logan (gone during testing) won the challenge with their egg getting closest to the ground without actually touching the ground!

🍎 Apple Picking! 🍏
JK had a successful day of apple picking and fun! We started the field trip by looking at and talking about the different apple trees, then we played Apple, Apple, Worm (Duck, Duck, Goose), followed by reading “Ten Apples Up On Top” by Dr. Seuss and practiced balancing apples on top of our heads too, and lastly students went on an apple shape hunt!
Of course there was a lot of apple picking in between it all! Once we were back at school students used their apples to do a 5 senses activity and were also able to bring a couple apples home with them!
