Students of Gravette Middle School's Mr. Leach are learning about the relationship between mass and acceleration in their Science class. This experiment has kids measure multiple instances of motion with differing weights to see the changes using a Bluetooth-connected scale. The technology displays each measurement of the experiment in real time, enabling students to use real-world examples to understand scientific concepts. #LionPride #gravette
