Another great meeting and GEMS is growing! About 35 girls participated in the GEMS club today. Check out the great pictures of the catapults that we built. We launched marshmallows (BIG and small)! The record was 36 feet and we had one "failure to launch." Megan, a graduate student at Georgia Tech, helped us learn about simple machines. We had three Inman teachers, a Grady High Schooler, two professors from Georgia Tech and a Georgia Tech undergraduate taking part in the activity. We also learned from last week's survey that most of us like math more than we like science. We also found out that most of the GEMS girls want to participate in community service projects. So...... if you have an idea about what we should do, please add a comment or two. Next week we will learn about a "not so simple" machine .... a chicken wing. We will dissect the chicken wing and learn how the muscles and bones work together. Not to worry if dissection is not your "thing," there will be other things that you can do at the meeting on Tuesday!
If you like these pictures, check out the GEMS boards located at Inman Middle School to see even more pictures from Tuesday, August 24.
