SPHS Honors Physics students researched, designed, and synthesized their own physics experiments. Topics included physics of a trampoline, a frisbee throw, a Drake Maye football pass, and more! After choosing topics, conducting background research, and reading scientific journal articles, students designed posters that were printed using a large format printer. This scientific process follows similar steps as to what science students experience in undergraduate and graduate studies.
