Physics Christmas Carol

The last class of the semester we enjoyed stretching our scientific minds to the world of music, art and storytelling. I hope you enjoy our Physics Christmas carol (see lyrics below) - the kids really enjoyed putting them together. After our musical debuts we made color wheels and colored the American flag in different colors to show how our eyes use light to interpret colors. We ended the day with a Christmas story "Physics of Christmas". I sent these stories home-it is a great read:)

The kids also have their test in envelopes please feel free to do these at your convenience.

Again thank you for letting me have a part of your kids lives. They are a great group of kids I enjoy them so much.

Merry Christmas! Shannon Tyler

Gravity (sung to "Jingle Bells)
by Alvin Lee, Wakefield High School, Arlington VA, 1982

GRAV-I-TY, GRAV-I-TY, keeps us on the ground.
An apple fell on Newton, he said, "What goes up comes down."
GRAV-I-TY, GRAV-I-TY, mass times nine point eight.
Remember, travel very fast if earth you must escape.

Walk around the earth, keep a steady pace.
If gravity twern't here, you'd float away in space.
Call it what you want, call it any name, But this force us a heavy
weight, attraction is its game, OHHHHHHHHH. . .
