Discovery Place

Discovery Place came to East on Wednesday, September 7th to teach us about simple machines.  Students learned about the six types of simple machines which will show up on their Science EOG.  Students had hands-on experiences with all of the simple machines and were able to see how they work as well!  It was so much fun!
