8th grade Physical Science students in Mr. Forsberg’s classes have been stretching their thinking—literally!
Students investigated how different masses affect the stretch of various sizes of rubber bands. After carefully measuring and collecting data, they applied their math skills to create scatter plots, determine lines of best fit, calculate slope, and write equations to model their results.
Using these functions, students were able to predict how much a rubber band would stretch with any added mass. 📊📈
Great example of science and math working together through hands-on learning!
