Science Fun with Mr. Jack

We had library class twice with Mr. Jack today!  The kids love seeing what Mr. Jack has in store for them.  Today it was building tops and rubber band cars.

The lesson involved Newton's Laws of Motion.  The children had a blast creating objects from old cd discs, pens, pencils, masking tape, cardboard and rubber bands.  It is amazing how entertaining these objects can be!
