LAWS OF MOTION
Students in Amy McKeethan's science class spent last week learning Newton's Laws of Physics. They took to the field on Wednesday to prove that for "every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. " The students designed and raced balloon-powered vehicles, and awards were given to: best looking, Taylor Ricketts; spookiest, Kelsey Long; farthest distance traveled; Mary Gwozdz (7 meters); and fastest (in 5 meters), Taylor Spiller.

Above, Kelsey Long and Taylor Spiller get ready to race their vehicles. Right, Brad Pierce blows up his ballon to power up his racer. Amy McKeethan's sixth grade class at Bullard Middle School used this as a lesson in physics. -- Bullard Banner photos by Lori Mellinger
