This month, Todd Scheuren's physics students at UMHS took a trip to Six Flags Great Adventure! Students experienced force, acceleration, momentum, and energy firsthand by collecting data on several rides at the theme park. Once they returned to class, they analyzed and calculated the forces, accelerations, momentum, and energies they had studied throughout the school year. Kingda Ka, for example, propels them at approximately 3Gs of acceleration from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds! 🤯
Experiencing, measuring, and calculating the extremes of the ride gives students experiential knowledge that adds to their classroom learning. The trip is a terrific way for students to culminate their experience in College Preparatory Physics, Honors Physics, or AP Physics C courses and prepare for the final exam.

This week, 4th-graders at UMIS enjoyed a field trip to Churchville Nature Center where they participated in many environmental education activities, including the following:
🐸 Going on a nature hike to a swamp and discussing the effects that communities can play on that habitat
💧 Testing the reservoir water samples to determine its health
🔬 Searching for pond life and then examining and identifying those creatures in the science lab
The hands-on science activities brought the environmental education standards to life for the students, and many can't wait to bring their families back to Churchville for another visit!

Yesterday was out-of-this-world! 🌘 Students & staff stepped outside together at dismissal to experience the eclipse at its peak 😎#UMProud #TotalEclipse
This morning @ UMIS, Ms. Martz's 4th-graders learned about the total solar eclipse. Students made eclipse pinhole viewers and modeled the eclipse using two different-sized balls, representing the moon and the sun. They observed that when the smaller moon is aligned with the earth, it can appear the same size as the larger sun. This alignment causes the moon to eclipse the sun! 🌑☀ #UMProud #SolarEclipse
