Science brought to Life

After having had so many days of bright, clear, winter weather, Wednesday dawned gray and foggy.  This wasn't a deterrent to Josh's science class though.  I found Josh and his class out in the side yard of the LEAP School, getting some real life lessons in measuring distance over time.


Here is Josh explaining to his class how the test is going to go.  As he later explained to me, the five groups needed to time themselves hopping for five meters, then running, then skipping.

The idea is to visually learn how to calculate distance over time.

Here's the first group of the kids, hopping away ...

Next up - skippers ...  oh, wait ... more hopper.






When I asked him about the exercise later, Josh said he was tired of teaching in the classroom and wanted to get the kids up and moving and have a change of pace.

Looks like this was just the ticket.
