Conduct a multicultural fair to explore and celebrate different cultures. Students will research a country, prepare traditional dishes, and present on cultural practices.

students are learning about physics through exploring theme park ride design. They are also learning about how theme is developed across fiction narratives. The sutdents will earn physics credit and ELA credit. The class is juniors and seniors in high school. One day a week they will need to have a class period to read with their literature circles - half of the students are reading Remarkable bright creatures by Shelby Van Pelt and the other half is reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. There are similar themes of friendship in unlikely places and loneliness in both books that we want the students to explore through socratic seminars and literature circles. Students will need some direct instruction on conservation of energy and how different forces act on objects (specifically theme park rides). They have already learned about position, velocity, acceleration and have practice making speed vs. time graphs and distance vs. time graphs. We want the students to pitch theme park ride ideas to a panel at the end of the quarter. The panel will consist of a teen/child who loves rides, an engineer, a theme park owner, and an investor.
