Success Stories

Levers Everywhere!

A colleague teaches an enrichment cluster on food and nutrition.  When he brought out salad tongs to show something to the sixth graders in his cluster, they got into a heated debate about what class lever the tongs are, whether they are double, and used evidence of the location of the load, effort, and fulcrum to justify their ideas! :-)  (And the next day, I took a group of students to an event at Columbia University.  They kept pointing out inclined planes all over campus!  Whoo-hoo!).
