Irving students use radar guns as part of hands-on science lesson

Sarah Gergen’s eighth-grade science students at Irving Middle School are learning about measuring the motion of objections - speed, velocity, acceleration - as well as electromagnetic energy and the electromagnetic spectrum. On a recent afternoon, they witnessed a real-world application of those lessons, thanks to a surprise visitor to their classroom. “So who here thought they were going to listen to me today?” asked Irving School Resource Officer Andrew Nichols.
