Lego Robotics is under way at St. Francis de Sales Catholic School in Manistique and students in grades 5-8 have been having fun designing their own robots and at the same time they are learning more about math, science, engineering and computer technology. Pictured are sixth-grader Carson Lagina and fifth-grader Gunnar Collins with their robot that pitches a baseball.
Renee Santi of Future Mark Papers took time out of her busy schedule to demonstrate to the St. Francis de Sales junior high students, how to make a lava lamp. The students were intrigued at how the combination of oil, water, food coloring and Alka-Seltzer reacted to make a lava lamp. It was just another example of how learning science can be fun.
