This is the best lab of the year.  We will be studying the physics of roller coasters.

Buses depart Pen High at 8:00 am and will return to Pen High by approximately 6:30 pm.   Cost of trip:  TBD

- In Spalding's Room

- You can work on the MC Packet or ask questions about anything you are stuck on.

This will be 7-10 multiple choice questions and 1 FRQ covering all topics from the start of the year.
