A science lesson for the sixth graders in Mr. Chris Hinkley's sixth grade class at Maple Grove Elementary School in late March required the students to lace up some skates.
The purpose of the field trip was to explore force and motion.
In their lesson on wheels students learned about Galileo and Sir Isaac Newton's three laws of motion. With skates on students got a real life lesson in the three laws of motion and five mini-lab stations at the rink.
Later the students skated and played several games that further demonstrated these laws of motion and force.
Students worked out of work books and also got some physical education time on the skates.
A truly fun science lesson.
