Students were tasked with taking a picture of something they could model with quadratic functions. Lots of good ones but the winning name this, the Purrabola.
Half way through our Work, Power and Energy test we had a visitor. I don’t remember reading about this in the teacher handbook. Do you think giving them a few extra minutes at the end was the right call?
From paper rockets to a successful liftoff in only a few short months. I'm very proud of the students and what they accomplished in the Rocket Club this year.
Year end exams are approaching and it can be overwhelming for some students. I try to help them prepare by breaking up our study sessions and doing practice mini exams on 2-3 topics. This is the schedule we're using to prepare for our AI SL exam on June 9th.
Last week our @acsabudhabi Rocketry Club launched a rocket in Texas as the culminating experience in the SystemsGo STEM curriculum. We are the first school outside of the United States to participate in this event! Shout out to @thephysicsboss and all of our students!
