8th: Today was our awesome Newton Scooter Race Day! The kids compiled speeds, acceleration times and force numbers as well as the mass of their vehicle to calculate the speeds, acceleration and forces of their runs. Great stuff! We should finish it up tomorrow and build upon it more next week.
7th: Today we calculated how many viruses fit on the head of a pin, at 1mm per pinhead and 200 nanometers per virus. Lots of fun and challenging math!! They have a take home quiz over viruses that needs to be handed in tomorrow.
