Fourth grade students at Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School learned about Newton’s Second Law of Motion while having a little fun on the links. Following the invitation to participate in the Guardian Championship 2024 Junior Clinic, Montgomery Catholic’s Dean of Academics Dr. Elizabeth Parker, along with fourth grade teachers Mrs. Sarah Wilson and Miss Kelly O’Donnell, taught lessons on distance and time while relating them to “the greater the force, the greater the distance” law.
While at the Junior Clinic, the fourth grade students learned golf tips and tricks from Epson Tour golf professionals and SQDx Sports Golf Academy staff while putting Newton’s Second Law of Motion into practice at the RTJ Golf Trail at Capitol Hill.
Once back on campus, Dr. Parker worked with the fourth grade classes to test hitting golf balls with various forces and then measuring the distances with which the balls traveled, bringing science to life through real-world application. A special thanks to Guardian Credit Union, the Epson Tour, SQDx Golf Academy, and the Robert Trent Golf Trail at Capitol Hill for the opportunity to participate in the Guardian Championship 2024 Junior Clinic.
