The entire student body of LFS spends the better part of a month on an in depth study of one topic. Each grade spends class time focusing on the topic in a developmentally appropriate way.

Both of these cases are examples of projectile motion- explained in detail by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century A.D.
