ACADEMICS
VIRTUAL LEARNING: WEEK 2 Gwynedd Girls had their furry study buddies, took their lessons outdoors, continued their music lessons, and were always in high spirits! If you have photos or videos from your virtual classes, email them to marketing@gmahs.org!
MATHEMATICS Math is literally everywhere! Mrs. Lane asked her students to find the length of a tall object's shadow, the length of their shadow and use their height to find the height of the tall object.
PHYSICS Students shared videos of the All American Egg Drop, carried out at home. Students demonstrated creative designs for the device to protect their raw egg from cracking when dropped from 10 feet plus. Devices were made of either 50 straws (or less) and 1 meter of tape, or 5 sheets of paper (or less) and 1 meter of tape. The device is meant to extend the time of impact of the egg as it hits the ground thus decreasing the force exerted on the egg so the momentum of the egg is brought to zero without breaking the egg.
Students were asked to find circular objects around the house, and with just a piece of string or ribbon, identify the radius of the object and then how many lengths of radii fit around the perimeter (circumference) of the circular object. The purpose was to give a real experience in understanding what a radian is (an angle) defined by the arc length (length of a radius along the circumference. Overall, the posit that 2 π rad equals 1 revolution, the basis of most rotational motion displacements.
