On Tuesday, the Grade 9 science class traveled to Roaring Springs to tour the park just after closing but before it is drained for the season. The students went behind the scenes and learned how all the rides work and how the park ensures that the water is kept clean and safe for visitors.
After the tour, the students put their science concepts to the test as they conducted physics experiments to confirm the acceleration of gravity by dropping balls from the various heights of the towers. They also timed balls as they rolled down the slides to measure and calculate speed and watched the wave pool generate waves using compressed air.
Thank you to science teacher, Mark Anderson, for arranging this great activity and thanks to Roaring Springs for sharing their facility!
