Sophomores Lylah Theriac and DJ Enkhorn perform an experiment in Mr. Hoffman’s 7th Period Physics class. Students worked in pairs to complete 8 hands-on experiments that displayed the different basic units of measurement. In station 6, “had a nut attached to the string that we would drop into the water. We had to measure the difference in volume from when it was out of the water and from when it was in the water,” Enkhorn said.
