Iolani Boys Waterpolo =]

               On Friday September 19, 2008, the Iolani Boys Division 1 varsity team had a game at iolani. To the left is a really bad picture of the game. Within the game, there were a number of physics related things. For example, when the ball is thrown, it goes through the motion of a projectile at a certain velocity. When the ball is shot by the opposing team and blocked by our awesome goalie Austin Strong, the ball and Austin go produce a bouncy collision. A bouncy collision also occurs when a player is field blocking and blocks someone's pass or shot. Waterpolo also involves swimming, which means Newtons third law is demonstrated when they pull, kick and egg-beater. For egg-beating, the more you push, the higher you go up. For example, when someone wants to shoot, you wanna get as high out of the water as possible by egg-beating your legs faster and harder. This game ended with another victory =] Awesome Job guys!!!

This is pretty cool Jodie, I guess we will be recognizing all of these things when the season starts!
