Science Lab

Sixth graders are getting a hands-on lesson on the principles of potential and kinetic energy! As part of an engaging science lab, students are using rubber bands to shoot and measure kinetic energy, giving them a practical understanding of how energy transforms and powers movement.

The activity, designed to bring abstract concepts to life, encourages students to experiment and observe firsthand how potential energy—stored in a stretched rubber band—converts into kinetic energy when released. Teachers are eager to witness those "aha" moments as students make connections between theory and real-world application.

With each experiment, students are not only learning scientific principles but also developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This interactive approach to science education aims to foster curiosity and excitement about learning.
