On Thursday, April 23, 120 Physics students took a field trip to Six Flags New England for their end of year physics project.
Students were not only there to have fun on the rides, but also to collect data as they went on the roller coasters. This data will be analyzed back in the classroom, so the students can apply the knowledge they have learned all year long to understand the physics of how amusement park rides are designed.
It was a beautiful, sunny day and everyone had a great time being together!
