Thumbs up to students at Lauralton Hall in Milford who recently used their knowledge of physics to create a machine that involved basketball to help raise money for breast cancer research. Three teams from Lauralton's advanced-placement physics class competed on Oct. 31 to see which team had devised the best machine that could make free throw baskets with a miniature basketball. This challenge tested the students' knowledge of the forces of motion by having to put it to practical use. However, their work was for a good cause, especially since many of the students have been affected by breast cancer in some way in their families or friends. Overall, the students raised $1,500 for breast cancer research.
