Mrs. Schnell's science students study forces and motion

Fourth grade boys in Mrs. Schnell's science classes are studying forces and motion. This week they've been conducting labs to apply the knowledge they've gained.

The "Crash!" lab tests the effect of ramp height on the distance a clay man will travel after his car hits a barrier. The experiment is designed to help the boys understand the concept of inertia.
