Ball out
Hands in the air, senior Kasi West launches a tennis ball from a metal ramp while junior Sam Mikhail records data. “The lab proved to be a really interesting way of finding energy,” West said. “For fun, Sam and I tried to shoot the tennis ball the farthest distance possible.” The Ka-wa-bungee lab was performed to teach John Krehbiel’s AP Physics students ways of finding kinetic energy.

"We've had no issues, no snafus. Everything's been running smoothly, and we've been getting kids to class on time.”](https://westshoreroar.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/IMG_9979-1200x800.jpg)
