Mrs. Vavalle's class performed a super fun experiment on Leap Day!!! We learned about the forces of push and pull, and that we can accomplish extraordinary things! In our Hopper Popper activity, students made a folded piece of cardboard jump high in the air, propelled by the pulling force of a rubber band. We had a blast making our Hopper Poppers leap up on Leap Day!!
