This Week in Physics (Sep 20-24)

Dear Parents and students,

Can you believe the quarter is almost over?  Fall break will be here at the end of next week!  I have really enjoyed having the students in person this year.

This week we will continue using our centripetal force machines.   This quarter has been full of hands on labs.  Next quarter will be pretty busy as well.  We will also start to work on the Science fair and Stem fest next quarter.   More information will be given soon!
