AHS AP Physics 1 students got to experience what it’s like to be a college physics student through a field trip to OBU on Monday. They began the day by attending a physics lecture and a physics lab exploring the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. They visited with professors and college students and got to ask questions about college life. Students finished the day with a trip to the engineering shop where they were tasked with creating LEGO cars. Their creations were evaluated based on appearance, weight, and speed. They even got to try some of the college lunch options. Thank you OBU for providing this great opportunity for our students!
