Combining Physics and Outdoor Education

Grade 9 students are studying conduction, convection, radiation, and hypothermia. To put their studies into a real life situation they were familiar with, students were challenged with the following question, “How can we keep Mr. Brock, our Outdoor Director, warm on our outdoor trips?” Given that it snowed on our fall trips this year, this was a very relevant question!

Here they are…setting up their experiments, collecting data, and analyzing it before coming to their conclusions.
