AP Physics students are currently studying energy. Using a pendulum, students can measure the height displacement to determine the initial amount of gravitational potential energy. Using a motion sensor at the bottom of the pendulum, students can measure the velocity to determine the final kinetic energy. Together, this information is used to prove the Law of Conservation of Energy. Never a dull moment in AP Physics!

Our community based students were kind enough to invite our physics student to join them in a lab over non-Newtonian fluids. Together the classes created oobleck. The community based students took the lead on this one and helped guide the lab and making the substance. Students then tested the properties of this interesting substance by placing an egg inside it and then dropping it from the top of the classroom. None of the eggs broke! So we decided to try to drop it from higher, the top of the media center. The egg survived! This was a great collaboration between our classes yet again.

Physics and special education students worked together to study the physics of motion. By placing a frictionless cart of a track, we found that we could pull any amount of mass using a modified Atwood’s machine and just a simple 50g hanging mass! The incorporation of technology into the lab made data collection fun and exciting!

Physics students have decided to put their learning into action. Physics students were lucky enough to get paired up with a special needs student to really apply their knowledge and skills. After studying forces and free fall, students were tasked to create a device that would increase drag force in order to decrease acceleration of a falling object. In addition, students were tasked within that same device to also create a function that would increase the time in which the normal force acted in order to decrease that force. With these two components, students attempted to save an egg from being dropped from the top of our stadium (60m high). They had a success rate of 85%!
Glendale High School Winter Spirit Week concluded with an all campus assembly, featuring a performance from GHS Cheer and a few courageous teachers.

Heads up!
AP Physics students are studying circular motion.
By creating a tension force in the string with a hanging mass from the bottom, the tension can become the resultant Centripetal Force acting on the object which causes it to turn. By timing how long it takes to complete one period, and knowing the radius of the circle in which the object is moving, students can calculate the centripetal acceleration. Using Newton’s 2nd law, F = ma, students can then determine the mass of the object that is moving in a circle.
The heavier the hanging mass (thus additional gravitational force, thus greater tension force, thus greater centripetal force), the faster the mass has to move in its circular path.

When History and Science Collide:
AP World History students complete their "Autopsy of an Empire" project by using both scientific and historical knowledge in this cross-curriculum assignment. Students determine why one of the Islamic empires collapsed by dissecting the civilization as if it was a person who died. The Head signifies significant leaders, the arms represent the military, the heart is the culture or religious beliefs, and the feet show us trade routes and the economy etc....... etc...... Once the student has determined how the empire fell, they then come up with a real diagnosis that would cause that organ, or body part to lose functionality.

Chemistry students are studying the structure of the atom this week. Using an energy level template, students are using colored bead which represent the different sub-atomic particles to create Bohr model representations of the atoms. By just knowing how many sub atomic particles there are, these super smart chemistry students are able to identify the element, its symbol, mass, charge, and whether or not it is a common or uncommon isotope.
