Middle School students navigate Mystery Box Challenge

On May 18, Pierson Middle School students in sixth and seventh grades participated in a Rube Goldberg Mystery Box Challenge. Broken into teams, the students opened a box full of mystery gadgets and knickknacks intended to help them create a contraption that would lead to popping a balloon. Slides, dominoes, and marbles were some of the everyday household materials students got to work with. Middle and High School science teacher, Bill Raney, was joined by a few other students from grades six and 10 to judge the final team’s contraptions.
