Mr. G. Upson's middle school science students went head-to-head in a Newton’s Tower Tournament, building the tallest tower using paper cups, index cards, and pennies! This fun experiment demonstrated Newton’s Laws of Motion, showing how objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion. #larnedpride #learningisfun
