Forest Park Elementary - Science and Engineering Day - 2008

On Feb 22, 2008, I visited Forest Park Elementary School. I talked about math (magical squares) and LEGO physics (in terms of levers) to 2 second grade classes. They enjoyed both, but much more with LEGO levers.

Most of them solved the challenged problem - how to balance with the smallest weight on one side, and the 3 heavy weights on the other side. You can see their accomplishments in the photos.
