The Physics Class is at it again. Another experiment lab came to light, but this time it was a competitive survival. More specifically, every student paired into teams of two to design and produce a container for an egg. The egg would be dropped 15 feet high onto the floor. The egg had to be secure and decently protected. Enough to prevent any damages such as cracks. There were many designs that the students came up with. Some were simple shells to hold the egg. Others had more advanced designs such as the Jacks inspired designs, pyramid inspired designs, and others. Out of all the teams only one survived the fall. Ian Hernandez and Katlin Alred. They had a pyramid shaped container primarily focusing on air resistance than shock absorption or simple sturdiness. Congratulations on being the sole success in protecting the egg from the fall.

On February 26th 2021, in Biology we learned about genetics. We learned about pigeons on how these pigeons get their colors from their parents and from their grandparent. We also talked about how they can be trained for racing, we also talked about how soldiers used these pigeons to deliver messages back to their camps to notify other soldiers for help, information, etc.

On Wednesday February 17th, was the day of the play-ins for region. Wayne played Escalante at home. This game would decide what bracket they would be going into for region. Wayne won against Escalante 59-35. On Friday the 19th, it was the first game of region, and Wayne played Milford. This was a pretty good game, but the Wayne girls fell behind in the first half, making it hard to catch up in the second half. Wayne played super hard the second half and caught up quite a bit but it wasn’t enough. Wayne ended up losing to Milford 54-40. For the second day of region the girls were going to be playing for 3rd and 4th place, and would be playing Valley. These teams played each other 3 times before, Valley winning one of them and Wayne winning the other two. This was a close game, not really one that had been in head for too long. Valley had out scored Wayne in the first quarter, but Wayne kept up with them in the other quarters. Valley had scored a few at the end of the fourth quarter and they won. Overall for region the Wayne girls took 4th place!

     Here at Wayne High School, we are lucky to have a gymnastics class. This is a class that we haven’t had for many years, so it is very exciting that we have the opportunity to have this class. This class is taught by Mr. Charles (Chuck) Greco, who has taught gymnastics in previous years. His expertise and knowledge of gymnastics has been very beneficial for all of the students in the class. He teaches them about the technique and strength necessary to perform well in gymnastics, as well as the proper stretching and warming up routines that help prevent injury. All of the students have made great improvements since the beginning of the semester, and there is always great excitement from the rest of the class when one student gets a new skill down or does something well. We want to thank Chuck for all of the work and support he gives to each of the students in his class.

In the B-1 Physics, 18 February 2021, class taught by Mrs. James a roller coaster activity was done. The students were to make foam roller coaster tracks and have a marble traverse through the track. Each group of students were given 8 foam noodles, duct tape, and a section of the walls on the hallway to work with. Many students had a fun time making abstract courses with loops and hills.
