Wilmot Public School 54-7

Thanks to all the purchases at the Book Fair in October, we were able to get 87 new books for our library!

This evening we have basketball at home and away! At home, our girls invite Hankinson for a couple matchups- due to some health concerns and smaller numbers, the JV game will only be three quarters this evening. They will start at 6:15pm. Varsity follows.

Students in Mrs. Kirchmeier’s chemistry class have been learning about the combined gas law. One experiment they did was seeing how a quick temperature change from hot to cold made soda cans implode. The empty cans were filled with a little bit of water and set on the stove to boil. When the water boils, the can fills with water vapor. When the can is then immersed in the ice water, the water vapor cools down and condenses into water droplets. This leads to a void inside the can and the air outside can compress it without resistance.

Sorry the NFHS scheduling wasn't correct, but the boys game will start streaming at 5:20! Junior High basketball starts at 4:00 tonight v Browns Valley! Girls at 4, Boys at 5. You can find the game online at https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/schools/wilmot-high-school-wilmot-sd
