Anyone with math on the brain knows that today is National Pi Day. March 14…pi R Squared. Remember that from your high school geometry class?
If you are still wondering, the formula used to determine the circle's radius is r = C / 2. Pi is a mathematical constant representing the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and is approximately equal to 3.14 – thus March 14 (3-14). Get it now?
It’s also a day restaurants celebrate.
But, in Ada two celebrations took place. One at Ada High School. The other in the Engineering Department at Ohio Northern.

FROM ADA BULLDOGS FACEBOOK - Here are some little scientists at work in Mrs. Smittle's kindergarten class.
Mrs. McAlpine taught a lesson using cabbage juice and regular kitchen items to change the color of the cabbage juice. She had a recording sheet for the students to record their observations.
Each student had five plastic test tubes with cabbage juice. The first one had nothing added to the cabbage juice. The students added vinegar (an acid) to the juice.
In the third container, the students added baking soda (a base). In the fourth test tube the students added sugar.
