Physics Update

POL Week!  Students will do their "Presentations of Learning"  talks on Wednesday and Thursday this week with make-up POL's on Friday.  These are a big deal!  Dress professionally, rehearse, prepare, and study your presentation rubrics closely!  Prepare for a full day - this means that if you speak in the morning you are a professional panelist in the afternoon or vice-versa.  This means that Rube Goldberg work has come to a close for now, so there are a couple of things to keep in mind:

1.  Exhibition is set for January 22nd at the Discovery Museum (I originally said 21st - but that is not a school day (thank you George))  from 5:00 to 6:30.  We are allowed to move in at 4:00 and need to have the place fully clean by 7:00.  Thank you for your help.

2.  This means that there are two full weeks of school before exhibition when we get back from break and NOT ALL OF THAT TIME IS BUILDING SO YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE THE RUBE HOME OVER BREAK.  Not mandatory but a good idea.  We have calculations to do so there will be minimal building when we get back\

3.  Remember:  You need to have 3 different simple machines, have 15 steps, run for 15 seconds, have 8 different calculations, run 2 out of 3 times (be reliable), and complete your simple task successfully.

YOU ARE ALL DOING A GREAT JOB SO FAR - LETS FINISH SEMESTER 1 STRONG!!!!  AND BEGIN S2 EVEN STRONGER!!!!! GO OSPREYS!
