🚀🎈 Miss Ryan's 4th graders had a blast in science today experimenting with potential and kinetic energy! The more air we blew into our balloons, the greater the potential energy. When released, that energy transformed into kinetic energy — sending the balloons flying further across the room! 💨✨
This hands-on activity brought learning to life and helped students see energy in action.
📘 South Carolina 4th Grade Science Standard:
4.P.4 – Develop and use models to explain how the amount or type of potential energy determines the energy transfer and motion of objects.
Amazing work, Dolphins! 💛💙🐬
