Many say it’s a rite of passage among Gilman’s Upper School science students: the rocket launch.
Every year, physics students take their class outside to launch air rockets across the football field and predict the landing site.
Will they land on target? Take a look.
Upper School physics instructor Dr. Matt Greenwolfe saw a problem last year in his mechanics course. He knew his students were learning what they needed through their worksheet problems, but they weren’t having that knowledge reinforced by seeing it in action. Like the good scientist he is, Greenwolfe approached the problem, studied it and then […]
Members of Trinity-Pawling’s Robotics and Engineering Club launched their first payload into near space earlier this year. The “Taccolytes”(the group’s name pays homage to a Renaissance engineer and contemporary of DaVinci) spent several weeks planning the launch of “Resilience I”. Students were responsible for ensuring the structural integrity of the airframe and payload; the establishment […]
The Webb Schools in Claremont, California, is the only high school in the country to have an accredited museum of paleontology right on campus. The Alf Museum is not just a place where students go to look at fossils. It’s a place where students are part of the scientific process, where they learn the joy […]
