On Mar. 16, a team of ERHS physics students competed against fourteen Long Island schools in an Olympics-style competition hosted by Farmingdale State College and the Long Island Physics Teachers Association.
The event kicked off with the ‘Physics Bowl’ where students had to answer core mechanics questions in a jeopardy-style competition. Other events included ‘Something to Torque About’, where students had to use their knowledge of torque and rotational equilibrium and ‘Precisely Predicting Projectiles’ where students used conservation of energy and projectile motion to calculate where a projectile would land. Finally, students used their engineering skills to build the perfect paper airplane during ‘On the Glidepath’.
Congrats to seniors Julia Passanisi, Julia Walsh and Anthony Polizzi and juniors Louis Perri and William Lewald for their exemplary skill and teamwork and for making East Rockaway proud!
