Earlier this month, Mrs. Mares's physics class went to the bowling alley to test hypotheses, collect data, make inferences, and learn more about the momentum-collision theory. The class would like to give a HUGE shout out to The Alley and Jared Rentschler for allowing the students to bowl, have fun, and carryout the scientific method for real-life scenarios. They even got to walk on and take measurements from a non-oiled lane for better data collection!
Students in Algebra are planting seeds, growing one set in a classroom without windows and one set in a classroom by a window. They will be recording their growth data, creating graphs, creating lines of best fit, and writing equations of those lines.
