Emmaus high school - East Penn School District

AP Physics and Botany/Zoology Students
Travel To Walt Disney World
The 10th annual physics trip to the Walt Disney World Youth Education Series
Program in February took place over President’s Weekend. This year we
were able to take 25 students from Emmaus High School’s AP Physics B and
C classes, chaperoned by Brent Ohl and Carole Wilson. The students participated
in various facilitated activities that allowed them to experience some
engineering aspects of various attractions and rides, along with real life applications
of physics concepts. The students received first hand information
from Imagineers and other cast members about the research and development
that goes on within Walt Disney World.
This year, we were very happy to invite a small group of Botany/Zoology students chaperoned by
Corinna Kramer-Hinks. The students participated in various tours behind-the-scenes at Animal
Kingdom, as well as being in the water with dolphins. Corinna is hoping to make this trip a permanent
addition to the Botany/Zoology student offerings.
