Gondolas are the main mode of transportation in Venice, Italy so our 2nd and 3rd graders constructed their very own foil gondolas. We tested each of their boats to see how much weight they could hold before sinking. The students worked really hard with their partners and it was fun to see their final products! 🤩
Our second week of summer school students learned about space and rockets! The kids learned about the 4 forces of flight; lift, thrust, drag and weight and then they had to build their own rocket. They learned fast that if they had too much weight on their rocket it didn’t fly far. The longest rocket flew 221 inches!!!!
Good Luck to the AHS pole vaulters as they “Fly High” at state track.
