Fore! In honor of the Summer Olympics, student engineers in 5th grade designed and created models of mini-golf holes. We learned about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion as well as the history of golf in the Summer Olympics. After the engineers finished building their models, we played a round of mini-golf, giving everyone the opportunity to try out each one.
