It was launch day for the catapults made by Mr. Scurlock's Science of Energy class! Students have been working hard both in and out of school over the last 4 weeks to research, design and build their catapults in order to study potential and kinetic energies! This is a fan favorite project every year and a great way to study energy with real world data.

Today Mr. Rhodes's 1st Hour class went through a mock trial of BOE vs Mergens, which looked at the Equal Access Act and if it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. This was a great opportunity for students to develop an understanding of these landmark legal cases.
Other Cases they examined included Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier, Wallace v. Jaffree, and Bethel v. Fraser.
