Congratulations to the high school marching band on a fantastic marching season! You amaze me everyday with your dedication and hard work. You showed growth at each of our four halftime performances.
A special shoutout to sophomore and trumpet section leader, Emily Anderson, for her great solo each week during The Music of the Night.

In 1784 George Atwood created an elevator-like 'machine' to determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. We replicated this historic experiment today in our quest to find 'the best method to determine the actual value of g.' Some got very close to 9.8m/s^2, while others were not so close. That's ok, because error analysis is part of the discussion.


This is a Beer's Law plot of Red-40 in Gatorade. Students created reference samples and data was collected using a Spec-20 spectrophotometer. This serves as an analogue to how breathalyzers work. This data is interesting to discuss, as the R^2 value, which suggests how predictive the trendline based on the data, allows for us to talk about 'reasonable doubt.' This R^2 value, .949, suggests that the trend line can be used to predict Red-40 with a high degree of confidence. Generally, in the physical sciences, an R^2 of .90 or above is expected. We will call this experiment a success.

Music Appreciation has been working on composing original compositions using the music fundamentals they have been studying. Both students did a great job!

We will Celebrate our 4 senior Cross Country runners: Silas, Hason, Logan, and Calvin at the home football game on Friday night at 6:30. Please come out early to the game and help us honor these great runners.




Thank you @ViewFromWestPod and Godfathers Pizza of Silvis.
