Our Staff Spotlight this week is Ms. Molly Baldes, our Junior High Science Teacher!! Congratulations Ms. B!! 1. How long have you been here at Elmwood? This is my third year teaching here at Elmwood. I wish I would have found this district and community sooner!
2. Why do you like teaching Junior High School? Junior high is the absolute best age to teach science! Student's brains are breaking down all of their childhood neural pathways and beginning to build the scaffolding of their adult brains. My job is to get them interested in science now to hopefully foster a lifelong love for the subject and all things STEM!
3. When you are not teaching, what do you do? My family and I breed and raise Standardbred race horses that need to be fed and chored twice a day. I also compete and show in the sport of dressage, it's a lot harder than people think! I love all animals and usually have a foster cat or two in addition to my home herd plus I have the best dog ever, Gyp! I also enjoy traveling with my little brother and going to harness races at county fairs with my boyfriend Dave during summer break.

Isaac Newton described g, the acceleration due to gravity, in his groundbreaking work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1687. His experiments using pendulums helped him develop his conclusions.
Today we replicate that same experiment.
