You should have been at our house yesterday. D and some of his AP Physics classmates made a video to promote the Physics class. They filmed lots of experiments and demonstrations. I was most impressed by the imploded pop can. They put a little water in the can and then heated it in the wood stove. They quickly took it out of the fire and placed it upside down in a bucket of ice water. There was a large boom and the can imploded.

The high schoolers used a number of P's toys as props in their production. She kept a close eye on the activities. They launched tennis balls with a very large sling shot. They even tried to launch flaming and exploding tennis balls. Some of their experiments worked better than others. I hope I get to see the finished video.The aftermath.
Hope the video works as well as the real action. I am pretty sure M will be taking two years of Physics now!
