3, 2, 1! Students got to have some fun while also learning science during the annual pumpkin drop.
On Wednesday, students in grades K-6 dropped a pumpkin off of a 50 foot ladder from a Whitestown Fire Department fire engine. The goal is to use their knowledge of scientific principles and come up with a way to get the pumpkin safely to the ground.When talking to WRTV, the message was clear when one student began chanting"three-peat! three-peat!"
Students used hay, a tarp and bubble wrap to protect their pumpkin. While they all agreed on the Great Pumpkin victory, there was some debate about what happened after."No you're not. Give it to Mr Miller," said a third.
