Trebuchet pics are up!

The 8th grade trebuchet pictures are now posted to the Flickr account. Check them out HERE. The first and probably the last time for this project! Later!

Make a Blog!

Hey, when you've got a few minutes, create a blog of your very own. HERE is the link to get you started. You've got to create a Google account first. It's real easy, just use an e-mail address that you already have. After that, it pretty much walks you through the process of making your blog. If you need some help, respond here. And if you finish one that you would like me to link to, leave that as a comment here as well. Have fun and good luck! Later!

New Pics!

Have you checked out the Flickr pics recently? If not, there are a lot of new pictures loaded up. Pics from the Science Club trip, catapult build/competition, and just classroom stuff. Just like before, the best way to see them is to open the sets on the right side of the Flickr page. So go check 'em out - JHScience Flickr Pics.
Also, what kind of plans do you have for summer (when it finally gets here)? Leave some comments telling what you'll have going on!
Only a little over 2 weeks guys! Keep it up, it'll be over soon! Later!

Catapults!

Alright 8th grade, it's catapult time! Trebuchets to be exact. Here are some links to get you started. You can also find your own sites. Do a little research and check out what works best. HINT: pay special attention to the placement of the fulcrum.
