Well, now...

Jonathan scored second place in the G force Competition at Lagoon's Physics Day. This is apparently a statewide competition between schools.

They conduct G force experiments on this



They also had to create an "egg drop box" that was designed in such a way that when dropped from the SkyRide it would land on a target below and the egg would remain intact.  In this experiment Jonathan and Tyler Wood paired up as a team ..and wow what a team!  It was so much fun to watch these two boys work together.


He worked very hard and I am so proud of him in scoring 2nd place in the state!

I wish I had taken pictures of Jonathan and Tyler working together to create the perfect egg box.  They experimented for hours and days, redesigning, re-doing, dropping the egg box from our roof, a second story window etc.  What passion!  What determination!

Thanks to Mr. Brian LeStarge (who won best science teacher in the state of Utah) for inspiring and teaching all the kids at Churchill Jr High to reach high and have fun with science.
