A second grade student stays focused on a cheese ball as he participates in an experiment demonstrating Bernoulli’s principle, which states that a fast moving fluid (including air) creates an area of lower pressure. In this demonstration, the cheese ball stays suspended, much to the student's amazement. 

 

Cherrington Elementary School hosted a Math and Science Night on Thursday, February 21.  The Cherrington community partnered with Dr. Ron Zielke from Ohio Dominican University, and Dr. Jeffrey Smith from Otterbein University, along with students from both schools, to plan a variety of activities, many focused on engineering.  Pupils in grades three, four and five explored jet toy cars, helicopters and hoopsters, while youngsters in grades kindergarten, one and two built bridges and explored gravity and sound.  The event included Cherrington’s annual spring book fair with a focus on non-fiction literature.
