This Week in Physics (Nov 2-6)

Dear Parents and students,

This week we finish our Rube Goldberg projects. If you have never seen a contraption like this before you should look it up.  The students are going to have lots of fun with inclined planes, levers, wedges, wheel and axles, pulleys, and screws all working together to create an incredible machine.  It is going to be a blast!

It is time to begin thinking about the Science Fair and STEM Fest.  Students must choose their topic or STEM Fest choice by November 4th. Here is the link for them to choose the topic (must be accessed from a school computer):
