Did you know you’re about 2 cm taller when you’re lying down compared to when you’re standing? It’s true! The force of gravity compresses the cartilage in your spine throughout the day.<\/p>\n

We had a great real-world connection to this in our Grade 11 Physics class. Our very own Somil was brave enough to measure this effect, finding he was 1.5 cm shorter<\/b> after standing up in the morning. This was a fantastic, hands-on way to introduce our topic of Uncertainties in Kinematics<\/b>\u2014understanding that all measurements have a degree of error and learning how to account for it.<\/p>\n

Here’s a snapshot of what our young mathematicians and physicists have been up to this week!<\/p>\n

Grade 11 Physics HL \ud83d\ude80<\/h3>\n

\"Scaffolded<\/p>\n

We took a deep dive into Projectile Motion<\/b> (the science behind everything from a basketball shot to a landing a food packet and car jumps!) and explored how to calculate the path of objects moving through the air. We also continued our work with Uncertainty Propagation<\/b>, learning how small uncertainties in our initial measurements can impact our final calculated results.<\/p>\n

Grade 12 Physics HL \ud83c\udf89<\/h3>\n

\"IB<\/p>\n

A huge milestone for our seniors! We have officially FINISHED the syllabus<\/b>! \ud83e\udd73 The focus now shifts entirely to two crucial areas: intensive revision<\/b> for their mock\/final exams and the completion of their Internal Assessments (IA)<\/b>. It’s a very exciting and important time as they consolidate two years of hard work.<\/p>\n

Grade 11 Math SL\/HL \ud83d\udcc8<\/h3>\n

\"Quadratic<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This week, students completed their summative assessment on Straight Lines<\/b>. We’ve now moved on to Quadratic Functions<\/b>. The challenge here is not just to solve equations but to understand them deeply. In a single problem, students are learning to factorize a quadratic, write its equation in three different forms (standard, vertex, and factored), and then sketch its graph, seeing how the algebra translates directly into a visual shape.<\/p>\n

Grade 11 Math HL \ud83d\udd22<\/h3>\n

\"System<\/p>\n

Our HL students pushed into the fascinating world of Permutations and Combinations<\/b>\u2014essentially, the mathematics of counting and arranging. We have also set the date for their upcoming summative assessment. Our next topic will be Systems of Linear Equations<\/b>, where we’ll learn powerful methods to solve for multiple unknown variables at once.<\/p>\n
