WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL: Venture to skating rink is a STEM lesson

Earlier this month, the West Middle School academic incentive trip was to the Lincoln Park Roller Rink.  

Students began their visit with an introductory lesson on the STEM concept.  They learned that we used the principles of STEM in very aspect of our every day life. 

For further understanding, the students were asked to take apart and reconstruct a roller skate. From this activity they learned the properties and function of the many skate parts.  
   
After being treated to lunch, the students tied up their skates and skated to their favorite tunes.  Beginners and experienced skaters enjoyed the day.  

A good time was had by all, including the staff.
