UOI

Today was our ‘Forces’ workshop. What an amazing morning full of fun experiments. We created roller coasters, drove cars using magnets, and used a catapult to sling shot pom-poms! Everyone was on their best behavior and was able to answer all the questions asked by Scientist Wendy. She mentioned to more on more than one occasion how good their were. Great job grade 4’s!

Have a great night!
