PROJECTS - 2005

Proposed projects for this semester are;

Rockets - designing and constructing functioning rockets using a step down problem solving process.

Boat Race (Optional) - design and construct boats that will transport a mass at the greatest speed possible using wind power.

Paper Bridges (Optional) - using standard weight paper, the properties of bridge design will be examined through the construction of a paper bridge.

Physics Steeplechase - this will be a competitive event designed by my SPH 4U students. The event will be run and judged by my SPH 4U students.
