The eighth-grade science journey is off to an exciting start! Students have been diving into matter and gas laws, using almost daily labs to see how scientific theory connects to the real world.
Their investigations have taken many creative forms: floating boats to explore Archimedes’ Principle and buoyancy, inflating Bernoulli balloons to watch low pressure create lift, and building hydraulic arms to understand Pascal’s Law in action. Using bell jars, they examined the effects of air pressure and Boyle’s Law, and to top it all off, they launched hot air balloons—bringing thermal expansion, Charles’ Law, and Bernoulli’s Principle to life before their eyes.
These engaging experiments have sparked genuine curiosity and inspired thoughtful discussion. As the students link hands-on experiences to scientific concepts they encounter in everyday life, they are laying the groundwork for a year (and life) filled with discovery, exploration, and enthusiasm for science.
