Gurney Elementary School second graders brought their force and motion science unit to life with an exciting visit to the Zelma Watson George Roller Skating Center.
Working in small groups, students explored hands-on science concepts, learning about the parts of roller skates, how surface friction impacts speed, and even sharing their own roller skate designs with peers.
The trip wrapped up with students tackling the challenge of learning how to roller skate. Along the way, they demonstrated incredible assertiveness—asking for help, persisting through the process, and connecting scientific concepts to real-world experiences.
