This past week, students from Southern Garrett High School in Mrs. Jordan Storey’s eighth-grade classes proudly showcased their creativity and understanding of physics during a hands-on roller coaster design event held in the media center.
After weeks of planning, designing, and building, students unveiled their custom roller coasters, each created to demonstrate Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. The projects highlighted not only students’ grasp of scientific concepts but also their problem-solving skills, creativity, and attention to detail.
“This project is a great example of how hands-on learning can bring complex concepts to life,” said Mrs. Storey. “Students took ownership of their learning and were excited to share their work with others.”
The event was well-attended and served as a fun and educational way to engage students and spectators alike, reinforcing the importance of experiential learning in the classroom.
