Kents Hill Physics

Welcome to the neighborhood!

"The upshot of all this is that we live in a universe whose age we can't quite compute, surrounded by stars whose distances we don't altogether know, filled with matter we can't identify, operating in conformance with physical laws whose properties we don't truly understand."    

 - Bill Bryson

These pages are for the use of students at Kents Hill School.  Check out the links at the left to go to our Physics Lessons. 

Partial development of this site was supported by a Hughes Science Education Fellowship, a Bates College program funded by a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.  The author also gratefully acknowledges the contributions of Hughes Fellow Jevede Harris, Bates '05.

Finally, a debt of gratitude to Michael Gosselin, Physics Teacher at Waterville High School, Waterville, ME for providing the inspiration to follow through with the project.

 

"All science is either Physics or stamp collecting."

The Mission of Kents Hill School
Is to educate our students in mind, body, and spirit

In order to:
Prepare them for the challenges and opportunities of higher education;
Help them learn to accept and respect themselves and their fellow students,
And to care for those in less fortunate circumstances;
Teach them to be responsible stewards of our natural heritage;
Remind them that one man or woman of principle
Can always make a difference.
