Real world applications taking place in AP Physics today! The class did some accident reconstruction investigating. They were tasked with using tire skid marks in the parking lot to determine how fast the car was going before the driver slammed on the brakes and stopped. They took measurements, made calculations, and learned from our very own SRO Officer Wade about how the Nicholasville Police Department uses the same processes to investigate car collisions. Nice job, Colts! #criticalthinking #collaboration

Critical Thinking is January's Graduate Profile Attribute of the Month! In essence, critical thinking empowers us to become more informed, independent, and successful individuals. It's a valuable skill that is essential for thriving in today's ever-changing world. Individuals who think critically demonstrate dimensional thinking, problem solving, innovation, resourcefulness, respect, evidence and reasoning, open-mindedness, and use what they learn to move forward and create new solutions to be a lifelong learner.
