Physics was making waves at the Ida Grove Rec Center last week! ๐๐ฃ
OABCIG physics students put their engineering and problem-solving skills to the test by designing and building cardboard boats using only minimal supplies. Using physics principles like buoyancy, balance, force, and motion, they had to create a solution that could actually float โ and hopefully survive the trip across the pool! ๐
Always a fun project that combines creativity and hands-on learning!

The OABCIG Baseball team is ready to kick off the 2026 season! Come out and support the Falcons as they open the year at home against Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn.
Weโre hoping the weather cooperates tonightโฆ but if thereโs one thing more unpredictable than a curveball, itโs the Iowa forecast in May. ๐ง๏ธโ๏ธ๐
