Hello from Team Livingstone Central,

Its been an incredible First Quarter run, and we are gearing up for report cards and the second quarter.  In Science class we have been focusing on energy in general, the study of kinetic and potential energy with the highlight being an experiment testing the difference between potential and kinetic using a pendulum made of pencil, string and washers.

This week we move to a more focused study of light- a part of radiant energy.

On Tuesday we will coordinate a refraction experiment, Wednesday will be studying reflection and Thursday will be light optics.  next week we will study color and its  make up using light.

No GREAT this week due to Early Release Day Thursday.

Stay tuned for more....

Mr. Stienbarger
