Gateway to Technology = FUN Learning

When you serve multiple campuses each week, you never know what you might come accross on any given day. Back in mid January, I noticed a group of middle school students gathered in the courtyard at the new North Richland Middle School campus. In my curiosity, I decided to see what was going on. Upon entering the courtyard,  there was a loud sound, followed by students looking to the sky and then lots of cheering. 

Mr. Arnold's students were testing soda bottle rockets created in his Gateway to Technology class. In order to create the rockets students had to use a flight simulation program from NASA. They examined Newton's second law and had to take into consideration weight, drag and design. All of this sounds so complex and difficult but if the video is what learning looks like at NRMS, then sign me up!
