Great America Day – April 18, 2012

April 17, 2012 Leave a comment

Flight DeckWelcome to the 8th Annual Physics Day at Great America! We are expecting a beautiful, sunny day with a high in the low 70′s – a perfect day to do some amusement park physics. Here are some logistics to consider for the day

  • Got the 911? Meet after G period in the athletic parking lot, next to the vans. We will leave by 9:15 am
  • Got equipment? Be sure and bring all the necessary equipment to do the physics
  • Got sunscreen? It looks to be sunny, and maybe warm, so dress appropriately.
  • Got extra cash? Each student is responsible for his/her own food at the park.
  • Got Lab Prep? My goodness, please make sure you have planned your lab beforehand
  • Got background? Make sure you read the packet so you know all the background
  • Got the fun? Yup, I want you to do well but I want you to have fun doing physics

I will give you all my cell phone number once we get to the park so you can reach me if there are problems. I am looking forward to tons of fun!
