This week in Mrs. Brewer's class, GEAR UP juniors practiced calculating velocity, potential energy, and kenetic energy. They used their new skills to build paper roller coasters that could efficiently roll a marble through 1 loop and 6 turns without flying off the track.
Twenty GEAR UP seniors traveled to Bloomington, IN to view the eclipse within the path of 100% totality. It was a truly amazing opportunity with perfect viewing conditions. The group stayed overnight in Louisville and stopped at UofL Tuesday morning for a college tour.
