Mann Elementary

Bill Cloyd with Newton's Attic from Lexington, KY visited Mann Elementary. Newton's Attic is an organization dedicated to inspiring students to embrace science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and providing students with highly unusual educational experiences. First grade students worked with Bill to create small triangular wooden puzzle games (aka Cracker Barrel game). Drill presses, saw dust, sandpaper and wood were just some of the things students got their hands on in this "in-school" field trip. Bill instructed them on the proper use of tools and how things are built. Each student got to make his own wooden puzzle using the tools provided by Newton's Attic. The entire student body got to see a live demonstration of a ballista. A ballista is a medieval era machine that propels objects. Bill discussed the simple machines, types of forces and energy changes observed in the ballista as he propelled a variety of objects, including two pumpkins and a bowling ball. As the students counted down 3-2-1, everyone roared with excitement as the objects went flying out of the ballista and into the field beyond.
