Also on my visit, another team of @edison_middle S's debating how to correct a problem with their roller coaster. I took slo-mo video for them to clarify their issue. Great to see students engaged and excited to learn science and math! --Steve Freshour
Visited @edison_middle today for ongoing talks by Chip Pickering from @PickeringUSA. Watched engaged S's troubleshoot their roller coasters and apply their research to their models. Potential and kinetic energy. #pbl
