6th Graders Explore Newton's Law of Inertia in Lab Stations

(2/21): 6th Grade Science lab was loud, but the students were learning as they delved into Newton's Law of Inertia through engaging lab stations. Newton's Law of Inertia states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion until an unbalanced force acts upon it.
From the "Penny Drop" to "Car Crash," each station offered a hands-on experience to understand this concept of inertia.
Students eagerly participated in activities like determining which object has more inertia in "Which Is More?", how far books will keep moving in "Plop", how water in the "Spinning Egg" will keep it spinning until gravity and friction make it stop, and how friction and the reduction of friction have different effects on an object.
Through these interactive stations, our budding scientists not only learned about Newton's law but also honed their critical thinking and experimental skills. Kudos to our 6th-grade science class for their enthusiasm and curiosity in exploring the fascinating world of physics!
