Physics Fun at JMHS: Egg Drop Challenge a Success!
Students in Mrs. Hubbard's science classes at Jenkins Middle High recently put their physics knowledge to the test with the classic Egg Drop Challenge. The experiment proved to be a big success, combining hands-on learning with a little friendly competition.
Students were tasked with designing a protective carrier for a raw egg, which was then dropped from a second-story window. The goal was to build a device that could protect the egg from the forces of gravity, drag, and impact.
Throughout the project, students learned about key scientific principles, including:
Kinetic Energy and Momentum: Understanding how a falling object's speed and momentum increase.
Force and Impact: The difference between a sharp, destructive force and a gradual, cushioned impact.
Engineering and Design: The importance of building a structure that can absorb and distribute force effectively.
Many of the creative designs successfully protected their eggs, proving that a little physics know-how can go a long way. As you can tell from the pics, some eggs cracked but students surely shared smiles and learning! The successful project was a great reminder that learning can be challenging and a lot of fun.
Jenkins Schools appreciates Mrs. Hubbard for her dedication and thoughtful approach to making science fun. She's a legend!
Mrs. Carter’s fourth grade science class practiced building systems today to see how all parts work together to achieve a function! #handsonscience #inquirybasedlearning

JIS don’t forget tomorrow is High Attendance Day! What grade will have the highest attendance tomorrow? Time will tell! We can’t wait to see you at school tomorrow and EVERY DAY!
Dear Jenkins Elementary School - Burdine Campus Families,
We're teaming up with Books Are Fun and their Book Blast program to help grow our students' home libraries and encourage more reading time over screen time. For more than 30 years, Books Are Fun has helped promote literacy by getting great books into the hands of students.
Today, our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we are asking you to take 7 minutes to support our Student Home Library initiative.

Here are the steps:
Click the link above.
Register your student(s).
Send invitations to at least 10 friends or family members to support our students (don't worry, all the information you provide is secure and never shared with anyone).
Join us for a day packed with Rock, Paper, Scissors games, tournaments, and awesome prizes! It's one of the best days of the year at JMHS! 🪨📄✂️
Come make it a perfect day! 👉☝️👍
