Old Hammondtown School fifth graders learned all about the laws of motion and simple machines on Friday afternoon as Katie Slivensky presented the Boston Museum of Science's Force and Work program.
"Today we will probably not be sending somebody to outer space," said Slivensk, but kids did get to put one of their teachers airborne.
