Pumpkins make the plunge

On Wednesday (Oct. 31), those students put a week’s worth of book learning on scatter plots and the relationship between variables to a real-life test. Using five pumpkins of various shapes and sizes, the students enlisted the help of Principal Sheryl Cooke-Sawyer, who tossed the pumpkins out the window of their third-storey classroom, sending them crashing to the ground below. The students then measured the splatter and will use the data they collected to create scatter plot graphs from their findings. Find us on Facebook: London Community News
