Egg Drop
40S Physics students participate in the Egg Drop Challenge to apply their knowledge of forces and motion to design and build a container which can house one egg as it falls from the VCI Canteen to the Gym floor. Teams compete against each other to see if the egg in their container will survive the 5 metre fall! Trebuchet Challenge
The Trebuchet Challenge involves Grade 12 students in the design and construction of two trebuchets: one miniature prototype and one large working model. Teams compete against each other to determine the trebuchet that is able to hurl a tennis ball with the greatest accuracy and the greatest distance.
Medical Physics
Successful completion of the Medical Physics Challenge Project provides Grade 12 students with hands-on application of the principles and technology of nuclear physics. Teamsresearch a specific medical application of nuclear physics and prepare a report, a class presentation and a demonstration to share that information.
Why Take Physics?
Why Take Physics?
As a student at VCI, you heard it was a good idea to take Physics because it's an important subject, but that's all you know. You want to get a good grade to enhance your overall average. Physics is a prerequisite for a variety of post-secondary programs. "Why should I take Physics?" you ask. The Why Take Physics Challenge Project is designed to let you know you made the right choice!
