🚗💨 Balloon-powered cars in action! Our students put their engineering skills to the test, designing and racing vehicles powered by air pressure. Through this hands-on experiment, they explored the principles of force and motion. Science has never been this fun! The purchase of materials was funded through a Mini-Grant from the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation. The Mini-Grant was awarded to Mrs. Susan Elliott, Elementary ITRT, for the project titled: Igniting Curiosity: Exploring Force and Motion Through Balloon-Powered Cars. Mrs. Waller, LAN Manager, facilitated the activity. 🎈⚙️ #STEMLearning #ForceAndMotion #HandsOnScience
🚀 A huge THANK YOU to Hitachi Energy for their generous donation of STEM kits for our students! 🧠✨
