Kicking off Spring Break the electric way ⚡🔧 Our scholars took on “Junkyard Wars,” designing and building electromagnet crane models to put their knowledge of electricity & magnetism to the test. From creative designs to real problem-solving, the innovation was unmatched! STEM in action. Curiosity unleashed. Future engineers loading… 🚀 #STEM #SpringBreak #HandsOnLearning @GaDOEScience @SuttonCougars @FPB_SuttonPA @fhenderson1908 @MerriweatherEDU

🚗💥 Crash Test Engineering in Action! Our young scientists designed and tested model cars with egg passengers to explore Newton’s Laws of Motion, inertia, and force impact! 🥚⚙️ Students applied their knowledge of momentum, acceleration, and safety design to protect their “passengers.” #STEM #ForceAndMotion #IBLearners @MerriweatherEDU @fhenderson1908 @FPB_SuttonPA @SuttonCougars @apsupdate @GaDOEScience

Science is glowing! 🔦 Students investigated conservation of matter with glow sticks, proving that in open or closed systems—matter always stays. 💡 #ConservationOfMatter #STEM #LabFridays #chemluminescence @fhenderson1908 @MerriweatherEDU @SuttonCougars @GaDOEScience

Today students across Sutton Middle School took part in a new tradition — Decision Day! Did they choose Team Science Fair 🧪 or Team Social Studies Fair 🌍? Our young scholars chose the path of scientific method or historical inquiry for this year’s academic fair. @fhenderson1908
