AP Physics students are conducting engineering project research and writing
the introduction with references for their project papers due Monday, October
5, 2009.
Physics students are using graphing calculators, CBL units and motion sensors
to conduct multiple experiments for the time rate of motion, velocity and
acceleration.
Physical Science students have Unit 1 test on Sept. 29, 2009. Students will
be conducting lab activities in classifying matter, rates of dissolving,
phase changes and physical and chemical changes thru October 8, 2009.
Engineering/AP Physics Projects are assigned in advance and are expected to
be completed and turned in on time. Many turn in dates are on Monday for
projects. See the calendar.
SciPort engineering field day for 2009 is February 17. Selected students

Congratulations to Captain Shreve seniors Mitch M., Brooke J., Margaret M.,
Shawn M., and Reeves P. for earning physics credit during LSU Spring Testing.
Captain Shreve students recently competed in the Louisiana Science and
Engineering Fair held at LSU in Baton Rouge. Placing third in computer
science was sophomore David M. and winning fourth place in physics and
astronomy was senior Lauren B. Congratulations to these winners and to all
that participated.
Captain Shreve students won first place in design engineering and civil
engineering at the SciPort Engineering Olympics in February 2008. Teams were
headed by Patrick W. and Freddy M.
Captain Shreve students won the second place Sweepstakes Trophy at the 2008
science and engineering fair this weekend.
Winner in physics and astronomy were Lauren B., first place and Jordan
B., second place.
Winners in engineering were Nick O., first place, Hunter W., second
place, Elizabeth C., third place and Patrick W., third place.
David M. placed third in computer science.
Congratulations to our participants and winners.
Handout for the 2009-2010 Engineering Project is posted in the Handouts
section including all due date and a description of what is due. An example
of an A research paper with concept definition, problem statement,
hypothesis and references is posted in room 301 for students to view as a
guide in writing the paper which is due October 5, 2009.
Grades are updated weekly. Parents and student may access student grades by
using the six digit student number. DO NOT use the zero in the front of the
number.

school.
As many of you know our science department had a $100,000 grant for
Swampology in the 2007 school year which has provided us with much needed
technology. The English department just secured another $100,000 grant for
their department's Swampology Too proposal. Congratulations to the
librarians and English teachers who worked on the grant proposal. Students
and teachers benefit when new technology is incorporated into classroom
learning.
If a student does not have a progress report, grades are posted on this web
site by class periods. Just type in the last name, first name and the six
digit student number without the zero in the front. All student grades can
be accessed in this manner.
The site is updated weekly.
