Algebra classes are ending the year by investigating linear, quadratic,
and exponential models. Their first lab was a Barbie bungee drop to see
how many rubber bands students could attach to her feet and still have
her safely make a jump. Students collected their data, created scatter
plots, and wrote equations to model their bungee jump data.

Mr. Frensz
Band students got to spend the past 2 days building PVC didjeridus and
learning to play them. Mr. Frensz played the didj for 6 years since he was
first introduced to it as a freshman in college- and instantly fell in love
with the instrument for its sound, simplicity, and general fun-factor. He
thought it would be an awesome end of the year activity to get everyone
to play a new instrument, stretch their minds a little bit, and develop
new creative ideas and musical vocabulary. They made great strides in
producing drones and making fun animal noises :). PVC is cheap and
sounds fantastic, so this was an easy project to put together, and gives
students a new instrument to take home and practice. Music doesn’t
have to be expensive or confusing, sometimes it’s as simple as making
farting noises into a tube!
