A project that Freshmen complete every year in their Conceptual Physics course is designing and creating cars that are raced down a ramp and measured for speed and distance travelled. Students design their cars completely using Tinkercad to create parts to be printed on the 3D … Continue reading →

French Advanced students have been learning about traditional French towns called bastides, which were typically designed with a surrounding wall, a central church and marketplace. With the aim of getting the students to really study the design and layout of these … Continue reading →

Many years ago, my husband and I read Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth before we traveled to England. That book gave us an excellent background on gothic architecture and it helped us gain a better understanding and appreciation of … Continue reading →

For the final part of the Conceptual Physics project based around car design, students had to prep their 3D printed cars for the test ramp and were then given three chances to record their fastest speed down the ramp (recorded with … Continue reading →
