The Semester has drawn to a close and it's time to announce the winners of the Arocena Cup!
In Block 1 - The Evens Almighty battled back from several deficits and emerged victorious thanks to the efforts of Nyla on the last test of the semester!
Congratulations to Brett, Nyla, Visal, Josh, Emily, Rebecca, Kalie, Spencer, Jonah and Brin!
In Block 3 - Team Evens clinched the victory early in the last review game as Team Odds gave up when it looked like the Evens were running away with the game.
Congratulations to James, Landon, Tyler, Zachary, Shae-Lyn, Stephen, Scot, Payden, Leah, Natalya, and Rachelle!
In Block 4 - The Evens fought off a late semester comeback from The Odds and thanks to the wonderful car built by Adam & Jessica, the Evens walked away with the victory.
Congratulations to Adam, Jill, Liam, AJ, Tarneer, Tony, Tiffany, Michelle, Jessica and Miranda!

Physics 11 Assignment
Mousetrap Car Results for their best run:
Van, Danni & Dana - 10.3m
Tony, Tarneer & Michelle - 7.5m
Adam & Jessica - 17m <-- New Record!
Keven - 14.1m
Liam - 3m
Darren - 7.9m
Reece & Cameron - <1m
AJ - Car not built (well not rebuilt) in time
Miranda & Jill - Broke on first attempt
Adam & Jessica earned the point for The Evens (Team Odds) and clinched the victory for their side. It was a very close fought affair as The Odds (Team Evens) almost caught up and forced a sudden death tiebreaker!
Final reminder that the Physics 11 final exam is on Tuesday afternoon. If you want to hand in anything you have until then to do so!

Last day of regular classes was today.
Congratulations to The Evens Almighty for winning the Arocena Cup in Block 1 with a score of 15-14. Nyla scored the cup winning point in the Chapter 9 test. Well done to all in Block 1!
Congratulations to Team Evens for winning the Arocena Cup in Block 3 with a score of 12 to 9. The winner was decided in our last review game when the Evens got an 'I quit' from Team Tomahawk. That sealed the victory and Rachelle just padded their lead with her high score on the Chapter 9 test.

Physics 11 Assignment
Continue working on your mousetrap cars (remember for distance!)
Remember Friday is race day and if The Odds can tie it up it will force a tiebreaker to determine the winner in block 4.

Science 9 Assignment
No new assignment for either block.
But in Block 1 the Evens did tie up the scores at 14 each after our vicious airplane review game. This means the Chapter 9 test is going to be the tiebreaker to determine who will win the cup in Block 1!
Also in Block 3, congratulations to Rachelle for earning the point for having the highest mark on the Chapter 9 test! This solidifies Team Evens win in Block 3 with a 12 to 9 victory.

Today's assignment:
- Complete Part 1 of the Mousetrap APC project.
- Remember to bring some kind of building material tommorrow (especially adhesive materials!). I will provide some materials, but it is very limited.
- If you need more time to research and design, I did book the Library for the first half of our double block tommorrow!
- Also congratulations to The Odds (Team Evens) as Keven, Cam and Darren gave the best presentation (on Nanotechnology) and thus earned their team a poinbt bringing the scores at 11-10. If The Odds (Team Evens) can win the mousetrap car they would force a tiebreaker competition to determine the winner of the Arocena Cup in Block 4.

- If you guys don't have a presentation on that day then you won't get the mark for the presentation. Also, this is being marked as a test so it will be worth a fair amount.
- Also congrats go out to Danni for earning the point for her fairly well written research essay on Nuclear energy. This brings the scores to 11 - 9 in favour of The Evens (not Team Evens :P). They may yet force a tiebreaker to determine the winner in Block 4.

Arocena Cup update
Some updates to the scores for the Arocena Cup
In Block 1:
- The Girls and James earn another point for the highest mark on the chapter 6 test (thanks to Rylee) but the Evens Almighty earned 2 points in the Wii-lympics competition we held before the break. Scores are now 13 to 11 in favour of The Girls and James.
- There are 2 more chapters which means 2 more tests and 2 more review games so the Evens Almighty still have a good chance of winning.
In Block 3:
- The Evens earn a point on the Chapter 6 test (thanks to Leah) and bring the scores even at 8 a piece.
- There are 2 more chapters which means 2 more tests and 2 more review games so it is still anyone's game.
In Block 4:
- The best Rube Goldberg machines went to Cameron and Keven so earned a point for the Evens. Scores are now 11-8 in favour of the Odds.
- There are three opportunities for points left in the semester (from a purely academic standpoint) - the nuclear physics research essay, the modern physics presentation and the mousetrap car race - so it is still possible for the Evens to catch up and maybe snatch victory away from the Odds, but they will have to put in a monumental effort to do so.
For any class, if we have the time, you may get a chance to compete in the Wii-lympics like my Block 1 Science 9 class to earn more points for your team.
