On
March 15, Mrs. Proudlock took 106 science students from West Middle School to
the Lincoln Park Roller Rink.
Students
reviewed forces and motion with the roller rink‘s resident “scientist”. Two
hands-on activities were presented. Students had a better understanding that
gravity pulls objects toward earth even as the earth is in constant motion.
Also by making a plane fueled by the air in a balloon, students saw fluid
motion in action.
Of
course the highlight of the trip was rollerskating. Proficient skaters helped
beginner skaters. Eventually, many of the beginner skaters became proficient.
Management
of the Lincoln Park Roller Rink commented that the students from West Middle School
were very well behaved. Administration and staff are once again very proud of
our students in the way they represent our school.
