Grauer Physics students have been learning about acceleration, and in particular, the acceleration of objects caused by earth's gravitational field. Students dropped different objects and collected data in order to calculate the actual acceleration of the objects and compare it to expected values.
From Morgan Brown, Physics Teacher:
Grauer Physics students have been learning about acceleration, and in particular, the acceleration of objects caused by earth's gravitational field. We are studying the difference between the ideal case (ignoring air resistance) and real life, where air resistance impedes the acceleration of objects differently based on their shape, size, mass, and velocity. Over the past 2 weeks, students dropped several different objects and collected data in order to calculate the actual acceleration of the objects and compare it to expected values. They then culminated the data collection with a watermelon drop, demonstrating that while all objects (ignoring air resistance) fall at the same rate, some also make a big splash and leave behind a healthy snack !
Think of the yes people in your lives. They are the ones that make you feel empowered, accepted, and validated. Of all the yes people you could ever ask for, teachers might be the most important, and we tend to appreciate them for our whole lives.
Step into the heart of the Holy Land with students bridging seemingly impossible divides. From celebrating in Jerusalem to flying peace kites in the West Bank, witness their quest to understand and process conflict.
Congratulations to Ben A. '28 for being interviewed for the NBC 4 television station in Los Angeles. Ben was interviewed about his work with Tech-Angels, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering senior citizens through technology.
Grauer High School musicians performed a diverse and eclectic range of songs, curated by the students themselves, at the Music Cafe Night event on March 21.
