Attention parents of Ada middle school science students –

When you ask, "What did you do in school today?" you might hear this: "Do you know what surface tension is?"

To prove to your child that you are aware of scientific terms, just repond this way: "It's the tension of the surface film of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area."

Wow, bet you couldn't verbalize that in an impromptu speech if you were called for an explanation. Photos from Ada Bulldogs Facebook.
