Bowling for College?

Not really!

The 8th grade girls are headed to Rio Hondo College for the AAUW Math & Science Conference on this Friday with Ms. Garcia, while the 8th grade boys are headed to Mathematical Bowling at Friendly Hills Lanes with Mr. Miller and Coach Jeremy. There's a good chance they won't let us try this experiment...

Gravity Experiment using a bowling ball


In this experiment, you will be able to determine the height of building using a bowling ball dropped from the top. You will need a bowling ball and several stop watches

Procedure

1.Weigh the bowling ball

2.Drop the bowling ball from the top of the building.

3.Record the time of free fall with several stopwatches, from the instant of release until impact with the ground. Determine the average of the times.

4.Determine the height (x) of the building using the bowling ball's free fall time, where x = g*t2/2

5.Calculate the velocity of the bowling ball upon impact, using v = g*t where t is the time in seconds after it is dropped.

6.Calculate the momentum of the bowling ball upon impact, using p = m*v

Chapel & Senior Luncheon -- Grandparents welcome

Palm View is happy to welcome guest missionary JoAnne Riley for tomorrow's chapel 10 AM chapel service.  She will also be staying over for the senior adults luncheon at 11:30.

All parents and grandparents are invited to attend!

Lost And Found

All Lost and Found items will be donated to an orphanage in Mexico after March 5th.  Please check out if any items are yours.  If not,  you might be able to take it as a tax deduction!  (caveat -- this is not tax advice...)

Families must choose one option or the other. No changes are allowed after 31 August 2010.

For Girls Only (5th - 8th Grade)

At Palm View,  we desire for our young ladies to transform into leaders for the next generation, using their God given talents to create  a better world.  A typical "tweener's" world right now revolves around the latest Justin Beiber hit, fashion accessories, and a desire to be in high school.

We would like to invite all Moms & Daughters in the 5th - 8th grade to make plans for the March 6th Mother Daughter Tea and Fashion Show beginning at 2 PM.  The cost is only $5 per Mother/Daughter, and only $3 for all grandmothers, aunts, and mothers of younger students who desire to attend.  (Because of topics that may be discusses, we are asking that no students in 4th grade or lower attend).  Moms, even if you only have boys, you may still attend!

For the newest young women's fashion e-zine with a postive message, look no farther then Whittier resident Rex & Alicia Crain's latest collaboration -- UNLOCK MAGAZINE -- launched last week in Las Vegas at the Miss America Pagaent.

Find Your True Beauty with Shelly Hitz and download her book for free -- Mirror, Mirror, Am I Beautiful?

Moms - you might be interested in parenting tips from Denise Mira's website, author of No Ordinary Child - Unlocking the Leader in Your Child.

We have a copy of both books available for check out in the parent section of our library.
