All students

You need to read this even if you are not going:

Great Adventure Rules and Information
• Students will be working in groups of three or four. Groups should stay together for the entire day at the park.
• You are assigned a bus. You must be on the same bus both ways. No exceptions.
• There will be a teacher, nurse, parent, and senior at the fountain all day.
• There is NO early bus.
• Do not get on a long line for a ride after 1:30.
• All students MUST be back on their bus at 2:45 PM so leave the gate by 2:25. Late students will be given detention equal to the time in minutes they are late times 15. i.e. 30 minutes late = 450 minutes or 7.5 hours of Saturday detention.
• You must attend first period for attendance purposes. There will be an announcement for students to go to the buses at 7:45 AM.
• If you bring food, place it in the lockers outside of the entrance. If you leave the park for the lockers, you must get a hand stamp. This is the ONLY reason you should leave the park. Stay in the area close to the entrance by the flag pole.
• This field trip is a school function and therefore all school rules still apply including rules on dress code, tobacco use, drugs and alcohol and inappropriate behavior.

Physics Day Assignment ( not applicable to Honors research)
• Work in groups of four students – all from the same physics class if possible (definitely from my classes).
• At the park – your duty is only to take the necessary data for each activity. The calculations and questions will be completed the following day in class.
• Each group will complete at least two activities and can do a third for extra credit.
• Homework – read each activity thoroughly and make an index card listing all the data that you need to take at the park.
• Physics Day equipment is picked up on the bus in the morning and left on the bus at the end of the trip.
• You do NOT have to go on the rides. Ask others in your group to take the data. You can choose rides that do not require a person to take data on ride
• If you are not attending, report to the following rooms where attendance will be taken and make sure you have a “for those not going” packet.
