Iowa-Grant School District

After finishing their lengthy final lab for first semester, the Chemistry students were rewarded for their hard efforts by getting to make and play with oobleck. Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid. In simple terms, a non-Newtonian fluid is a substance that under certain circumstances can act like a normal fluid (like water) or can act like a solid under pressure or force. For example, if you were to pick up oobleck and clench your hands around it, it would form into a ball. Once you release the pressure from your hands, it would instantly return to its liquid form.

Physics students for their Semester 1 Final was tasked to build projectile launchers that had to launch a potato. The goal was to create a launcher that simply worked in launching the potato. However, when extra credit was on the line, the groups went all out on their launchers from building a variety of large slingshots and trebuchets. All groups were successful in their launchers (even if one launcher sent the potato in the opposite direction)! The furthest distance achieved was 64 meters, and the largest height achieved was over 8 meters! Great job Physics students!

Congratulations to Jaxon Busse on his 150th win on Saturday. Panther Proud!! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
