Infant Jesus of Prague students have been busy minding their marbles.
Fourth-graders at the Flossmoor school have been creating vertical mazes for marbles in order to study the physics of force and motion. They then shared what they learned with fellow students by presenting their marble maze displays.
The study unit was guided by teacher Carol Johnson.
The projects were on display during the school’s open house on Feb. 2.
