Preston named Teacher of the Quarter
Mike Freeman of Sellers-Sexton Ford Lincoln Mazda presented Dennis Preston, a seventh grade science teacher at Waynesville Middle School, with the Teacher of the Quarter Award for his project "Collision Course."
The Project Teach Award includes a $100 stipend from the dealership. Students were given supplies and had to construct a model that would allow them to gather data and analyze methods for adjusting the forces involved in a collision. Students had to adjust both the friction on the track and the mass of the cars involved to see how the two forces affect the collision.
