Before break our SEBH team hosted a wonderful Holiday Housewarming event! There were snacks, games, and lots of big smiles!
Mr. Copp's 8th Grade Science students completed a project-based learning activity "Pumpkin Chunkin", as a part of their unit on force and motion. For this project, the students were asked to research, design, and construct an original Pumpkin Chunkin device that could successfully chunk a candy pumpkin the greatest distance possible. The students then competed to see whose device could chunk their pumpkins the farthest. The top 3 groups were:
1st Place (28.7 meters) Levi Bodecker Blaine Merritts-Armey, & Kasen Carney
2nd Place (14.2 meters)- Hannah Oliver, Jaclynne Driscoll, & Lakyn Noard
3rd Place (13.9 meters)- Jordyn Brasmer
