Hi-
I'm hoping to get my eighth graders out climbing this spring... My question
for you all:
Do you have any ideas or resources for engaging 8th grade students in the
laws of physics (quite general I know but any ideas will due, 8th grade
standards are general themselves) before/during/after rock-climbing? I'd
love your creative input. And I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.
It's all part of my dream to create a physics unit designed around extreme
sports. Maybe you have thoughts on that too...

thanks,
becca
