Thanks to the help of Lima Senior students, Independence Elementary participated in a STEM day filled with activities involving gravity and building to the transformation of energy. Perhaps the favorite experiment was turning a potato into a battery to demonstrate a transfer from chemical to electrical energy. The hands-on experiments spark curiosity in students and show that science is all around us.
