Get Ready for Phun Year of Physics!

I just spent the past few days sprucing up the room and working on some lesson plans. I'm totally fired up for this year. We have a new Principal, Assistant Principal, new science teacher, and some student teachers from UC Davis. In my preparations this past week I came across this neat website that physics nerds will embrace... Click on the above image to enjoy!

Also, I couldn't resist this one that I found on youtube as well. Just darn sillyness!!

Magic Waves

Principal Liles pointed out this cool video of kinematic sculpture...



Pretty cool stuff!! Art, physics, engineering, and music all beautifully "linked" together.
