Welcome to my class!

 Because a class site should be engaging, I'll present information that makes the subject interesting and fun, such as brain teasers or polls about current events. , I'll want to include plenty of links

Don't forget, we are going to attend the track and field meet located at our track on campus on Friday, March 22. We will be attending the track and field meet between JFK HS and ABC HS.  We will meet at our gymnasium at 2pm.  At 2:10pm, we will then walk over to the track to our assigned bleacher seats.  Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a snack if you need one.  Let's get ready to cheer on our track and field team as they take on the cougars!
You will write a one page reflection on your experience at the track and field meet.  Think about these questions. . . You may choose to write about them in your reflection.  Did you find the meet exciting? Boring? Did you enjoy a particular race or field event more than any other?  Do you enjoy running?  If so, which event would you like to participate in if you were on the team?
This reflection is due Monday, March 26, 2007.

Meet the Challenge!

Whistle

A brain teaser for you to ponder:
 
  • If there are four athletes that run the 400 meter relay, how many meters does each athlete run?
  • How many yards is 400 meters?  Convert meters into yards. . .
  • When the race starter, fires the gun, what do you notice first?  Do you hear the sound of the gun first?  Or do  you see the smoke from the gun first? 
Hint:  which travels faster?  Light or sound? 

Email me the answer. . .
Be prepared to share your answer and how you figured it out. . .
 
Last week's answer:
Last week's winner:

In the News
 
Did you hear that Andre Agassi retired from tennis? 
What did you think about that? Was it about time?  Or should he have played another season?
 
Pete Rose denied that he gambled while he played baseball for the Oakland A's fifteen years ago.  Now, he admits it. . .   Friend or foe?  Should he be forgiven?  Why or why not?
 
Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather. . .
One is a 6 time world champion - one is a 4 time world champion. . . Who do you think will win?  And, why?  Who do you want to win?
