Another Wacky Day

With MCAS beginning today and the senior breakfast and awards, the schedule was topsy turvy. Also with the senior awards, MCAS participants could not be released, even when the entire group had completed their tasks. So we basically all sat around for an hour waiting for lunch.

Physical Science E did not meet due to MCAS and B Block had another LONG block. Students were allowed to decompress by working with the Snap Circuits kits or study for other classes. Feelings were mixed about the exam - some said it wasn't bad, others said it was hard. A number of folks said that it was harder than the exam that was administered last year. We'll see, but I'm sure that people did better than they think.

Honors Physics and Physics worked on their final project of the year, which is using the Snap Circuits kits to investigate electronics. They will construct, test and evaluate a variety of electronic devices and conduct out-of-class research to give their work a broader scope. Students will continue with this project until the end of the year.

Homework

None for anyone!
