AP Physics Classes Conduct Pool Lab
Water splashed on the decks of the pool as AP Physics 1 students took part in their first lab of the year on the third day of the school.
Classes applied their knowledge of optics while also having fun in the pool. Physics Teacher Mr. Kevin Slattery has been doing this pool lab for over 15 years, and would like to continue it. He believes this pool lab successfully combines fun and a lab experience for his students.
