🚀⚖️ Physics in Action! ⚖️🚀
Mrs. Roberts' high school physics students turned into teachers for the morning, leading a fun and engaging lab on balanced and unbalanced forces for our first graders! 🌟
After hands-on activities exploring tension and force, the little learners put their new knowledge to the test in the ultimate showdown—Tug of War! 🏆💪
Despite the high schoolers' best efforts, the first graders in Mrs. Spring and Mrs. Yoder’s classes proved that an unbalanced force (and a whole lot of teamwork!) can lead to victory! 🎉🎈
Great job to all our future scientists and teachers! 🧪📚 #PhysicsFun #FutureScientists #TugOfWarChampions
