📸 Today, our EAST students from Eureka Springs Elementary and Middle Schools had an amazing experience at the University of Arkansas! They had the opportunity to learn from professional photographer Alex Kent (https://www.alexkentphoto.com/). 🌟
Students got hands-on practice with his workflow in Adobe Lightroom Classic, sorting and enhancing photos just like the pros do for publication.
A huge thank you to Alex Kent for sharing his expertise and inspiring our young photographers! 📷✨ #EurekaSpringsEAST #PhotographySkills #HandsOnLearning
🚗💥 8th grade students are diving into Newton's First Law of Motion with a hands-on lab called "Observing Inertia!"
In this experiment, students sent a toy car down an incline, crashing it into an embankment. They performed trials with a doll seatbelted in the car and without a seatbelt, measuring how far the doll flew from the car!
💡 A great way to see inertia in action and the importance of seatbelts! #PhysicsInAction #HandsOnLearning #ScienceLabFun
