Announcements 10-2-13

News from Discovery





Discovery students have been learning about mass, gravity and terminal velocity with the help of Ms. Yurchenco. Students' interests where sparked from learning about the baseball that was dropped from the top of the Washington Monument and caught. Questions arose and students decided to do there own experiments about what happens to falling objects at certain heights and how fast they will travel. Discovery students would like to thank Ms. Yurchenco!
