Mrs. Langston's students made waves in science today! 🌊
Students rotated through stations creating and exploring different types of waves—energy was definitely in motion and learning was on another wavelength!

oday Mrs. Langston's students put learning in motion 🚗💨!
Students used toy cars to calculate speed—measuring distance and time, then doing the math to figure out how fast their cars were really going.
Hands-on + real-world connections = science that sticks!

Today’s lesson really blew us away 🌬️🫧!
Mrs. Langston's students used bubbles to design their own experiments on wind speed and direction—testing, observing, and thinking like real scientists.
Hands-on learning at its best!

This artwork is part of the Arteffect Unsung Hero Project, where students use creativity to honor individuals who have made a meaningful impact on the world—often without recognition.
Congratulations to Veronica Manley, Chloe Steele, and Sophie Lally for their incredible artwork! Students explored history, identified an “unsung hero,” and brought their story to life visually. Created under the guidance of:
Jennifer Langston.
Celebrating the heroes who deserve to be seen - and the students who bring their stories to light.

Our students had a great time exploring physics concepts today using a Newton’s Cradle and an inertia apparatus!
They investigated how energy transfers from one object to another and saw firsthand how objects resist changes in motion. Hands-on learning like this helps make abstract concepts more clear—and a lot more engaging!
It was awesome to see their curiosity and understanding grow through simple, interactive experiments. ⚖️
