Motion Lab in Physics

September 04, 2014

In light of recent lessons about motion, AP Physics 1 is using motion sensors to track their position as it varies with time.

Honor Code Chapel

August 28, 2014

Rather than simply telling our students what to think, Brook Hill teaches students how to think. One of the ways we do this is through conversations about important topics. For example, in this week’s chapel, we discussed the honor code by starting with a faculty-produced skit about cheating and then asking, “What went wrong here?” Students […]

For some students, this enabled […]
