Urbas - Science Week of Feb. 27 - March 5

Student this week are taking their ISAT tests as mandated by the state. Since this causes major changes in the schedule and their lives, I have started a program run by the American Physical Society. Last year it involved Marie Currie and her experiments and this year the set of four experiments revolve around Nikola Tesla and his experiments with A/C. Should be fun.

I also want to congratulate the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Team of Ammar Kalimullah, Dhara Puvar, Connor Bailey, and Morgan Krause on their Third Place finish this past Saturday at Argonne National Labs. Great Job!

Urbas - Science Week of Feb. 20 - 26

Students are continuing their investigations of Color and Light and in the upcoming week will be working with colors of visible light and colors in pigment form. They will also investigate shaows and calculate just what is a Light Year.

Urbas - Science Week of Feb. 13 - 19

Students have begun their study of Color and Light this week and have begun to see the light.

They will be investigating shadows and colors in the upcoming week.

Check out the site below for an inaugural photo in which faces can be seen exceptionally clearly.

Urbas - Science Week of Feb. 6 - 12

Students are finishing their tower constructions and several can be seen below. The towers will be tested to see if they can withstand an earthquake of Mr. Urbas's making.

These engineering drawings are tough!

Who does your decorating?

I say it's leaning to the left because you both are looking to the left.

"V" for victory!

The results of the tests will be published next week, stay tuned!
