May 10-14: Energy Posters & Lagoon Day

This week students are finishing the small research project that we've been working on about energy sensing technology. They will be making a small poster in class and then they will grade each other's work.

Friday is Physics Lagoon Day for those students who are eligible. Students had to have C- or above, and H or S for citizenship in all their classes through first, second, and third quarters. Students who are not coming are still expected to be at school on Friday - they will be doing a small assignment about roller coaster physics in my class, and will be doing regular work in all their other classes (do not let them assume that they don't need to be there). Lagoon will be closed to the public on Friday, so please don't take them on your own expecting to get in to the park (if they're not on my list, they're not coming... sorry).

For students going to Lagoon:
  • Check in with your first period teacher (we will be called down after they take roll).
  • Choose a bus and check in with the adult at the door - if you're not on the list, you're not coming.
  • If you are going home with a parent, give your written permission slip to the adult you check in with on the bus.
  • Bring $26 to get into the park (it is not free, just reduced price).
  • Bring money to buy expensive Lagoon food, or a packed lunch.
  • Bring money to get a small locker if needed for your food/belongings.
  • Bring money for the rides that cost money - if you want to do them... the slingshot, free fall, etc.
  • Wear school appropriate clothing - no swimming suits, tank tops, or short shorts. (If you change at the park and we find you - you will be sitting on the bus for the rest of the day).
  • The park closes at 5:00pm - the bus is leaving at 5:15pm (if you are not on the bus, we are leaving you - and a parent will have to come to pick you up).
  • We should be back at the school around 6:30pm.
