In this honors project, we (Layne and Dakota) decided to expand our knowledge of projectile motion and momentum that we had started in Kelly’s physics class. We met twice a week (Tuesday mornings at 7:30 and Fridays during lunch) and conducted two experiments, one for projectile motion and one for momentum. At the beginning of this […]

The Modern Mountain Man – Ciro B.
I decided to study people who lived in nature. Historically speaking, there are a lot of different peoples who lived intertwined with nature and I decide to study the methods and tools that they used to do so effectively. I would learn of an item or skill, do a bit of research on it, and […]
Community Service – Sophie SF, Hanna, and Jaquie
Here is the link to our video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmc9bc3rNMk Please write a description of the project you are proposing. Why do you want to take this on, and what do you hope to learn? Our honors project will be a documentary about our experiences doing community service. We are planning on exploring New York City, volunteering […]
Coding Honors Project – Mary Catherine F.
Project by: Mary Catherine FitzGerald (10th Grade) Faculty Advisor: Joy Piedmont The goal of my honors project was to learn the basic skills needed to code. I wanted to do this honors project because as our world evolves, technology becomes more and more important and vital in everyday life. Machines are becoming a massive part […]
Computational Physics – Skyler and Molly
We chose to do an honors project on Computational Physics with Kelly because we wanted to learn how to code and also be able to do harder physics problems using coding. We used Python and started by using the code to calculate things like initial and final positions/velocities (etc.): Then we moved on to […]
