Community Central began 2017 by looking at different forms of energy with 4th Graders at McMahon Elementary. Many of these students participated with Community Central as 3rd Graders and some have attended sessions at community partner locations across Lewiston.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>To explore potential and kinetic energy youth built tracks for marbles\u00a0using pipe insulation. The first challenge was to see if they could create a jump that would launch their marble into a cup.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After creating a successful ski jump, some were able to create a loop-de-loop track! We’re looking forward to more energy exploration over the next few weeks with these young scientists.<\/p>\n
