Mrs. Anderson challenged her 9th grade physical science students to achieve neutral buoyancy with custom, 3D-printed scuba divers. 💧Mr. Volk printed each diver in the Innovation Center with a unique weight distribution, so no two were alike. Using hot glue and their knowledge of forces, students experimented with items like beads, hardware, popsicle sticks, and balloons to adjust the net force and achieve neutral buoyancy.
To kick off the lesson, Dr. Penczarski, a certified scuba diver with more than 500 dives, shared insights about buoyancy and equilibrium from her underwater experiences. How do you float above a reef without touching it?
Thoughtful teaching and curious minds came together in this lesson, a reminder that learning can be both meaningful and authentic.

Who would have guessed gym class in Chagrin Falls would be so far ahead of its time!

Thanks to Mr. Howell for some morning inspiration on this first full week of school!
📚 Our 7–12 Library Media Specialist, Ms. Sargiovanni, turned study hall into a place to play, create, and connect. Students enjoyed:
🎨 Coloring sheets
📸 Photo ops with a school camera

What a great way to kick off the year—mixing brain breaks with a little fun in the library!
