Today in Physics, our students at HSFI channeled their inner engineers for the Holiday Egg Drop Challenge! 🎄🕎✨ Students didn’t just decorate their eggs with festive holiday themes—they used serious science to keep them from becoming "scrambled."
Armed with the principles of Impulse and Momentum, they designed containers to maximize air resistance and manage gravitational potential energy from a 2.5m drop! 📏💥
The results? Most didn't make it to the "Nice List," but we had 2 groups survive the plunge! 🏆 The best part? Tomorrow we dive into the Success Skill: Constructive Problem Solving. Students will evaluate what worked, analyze the "cracks" in their designs, and revise for the future. 🛠️🧠
Science isn't just about getting it right the first time—it’s about learning from the impact!
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Kwanzaa from HSFI Physics! ❄️✨
Featuring the Marine Science class. In this investigation, students explored how increased carbon dioxide changes ocean chemistry. They compare three cups: neutral water, water with CO₂ gently blown in, and vinegar as a model of a highly acidic ocean. By observing pH differences and the effects on materials like shells, students see how rising CO₂ levels can lower ocean pH and impact marine life.
Students in Ms. Granstrand and Ms. Garcia’s Algebra 2 class know it’s important to stand up for math! In class, they used vertical whiteboards to solve rational equations.
Creativity always wins. Mr. Torres 9th. graders locked in the pin cushion hand sewing practice. They also branded their creations as O.C., a.k.a., Original Characters!
