Mr. Barwick helps Chase Stewart & Seullee Baek with the fifth step in 

the Science Olympiad Rube Goldberg machine.

The Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School Science in Action/Science Olympiad team works on creating a Rube Goldberg machine.  They were tasked with using complex steps to perform a simple task.  In this case, the students used 12 steps to turn on music to play during a pizza party at lunch on September 6. MCPS Principal Chad Barwick made the pizza delivery which popped a balloon and started the Rube Goldberg machine. Mrs. Elizabeth Harbin is the MCPS High School Science Olympiad sponsor.
