What We Learned Today...June 26th

I'll try adding this again because it didn't seem to work yesterday!
 
To start our second last day of school, students split up into groups and were each given various supplies.  Their task: Create a container that can protect an egg from cracking after being dropped from different heights.  While each group was supplied with items ranging from a paper cup to a pipe cleaner, they were not given tape.  In order to receive tape, students had to answer trivia questions about their classmates to see how well they got to know each other this year!  At 10:00 all groups had finished creating their egg containers and we headed out to the blacktop to begin our drop.  After drops from 3 different heights we were left with a tie for first place with two very similar designs.  Both groups used tissue paper to create a parachute that ensured their egg would float down to ground rather than free fall.  Well done Ambers group and Kevins group! 

After lunch all the senior classes headed outside to begin our walk to Massy Pool for swimming.  We spent about 2 hours at the pool with some absolutely gorgeous weather.  I would also like to thank Mr. McCulloch and Mr. Csada for deciding not to wear their speedos today, we all really appreciated it!

Well, we now officially have only one day left! I can't believe how fast this year has flown by.  Check in tomorrow for the final Blog Post of the year.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do all summer with no school to blog about!!

Reminders:

Tomorrow is the last day of school, be sure to take everything home with you!
