The Latest News from CISP
The 8th Grade students held their Science Presentation Fair this week! The 8th graders weathered the event by courageously presenting to visitors from 1st Grade up through 12th Grade, and even some parent visitors! Because of all of their hard-work and preparation, presenting on topics related to various aspects of weather and climate was a breeze. No one was left feeling under-the-weather with all of the fun facts and smiling faces!
🎭 The CISP Knight Lights are hard at work learning lines and blocking for the spring production of New Clothes for the Emperor! Tickets will go on sale soon, so mark your calendars for May 2-4! 🧵🪡

CISP has been in the midst of getting some windows replaced! We are very thankful for the willing hands to help clean out and shuffle around classrooms in preparation. We still have about month or so to go, but it is a blessing to have new windows despite the bit of chaos. 🪟
The 10th graders were feeling a little uptight in science but they have since found a way to unwind -- by experimenting with torque! Torque is the result of a force that causes rotational motion around an axis. Students used a torque wrench for some real world application (how much force is needed to torque a wheel on a car so it won't fall off?) and torque-feelers to attempt to resist rotational motion. The closer the force (a 1kg weight in this case) is to the axis, the less torque is experienced, whereas the further from the axis the weight is, the greater the torque experienced. This topic had us spinning our wheels with excitement!
